The 2011 Ford Mustang GT featuring the all-new 5.0-liter, four-valve V8 engine is already quite the performance ride straight from the factory, producing 412 exhilarating horses and 390 ft-lbs of torque. But if you’re in the market for one of these new Pony’s, too much horsepower just isn’t in your vocabulary, and the folks at Ford racing are well aware of that. And so today, the performance division of Ford motor company has announced the first power upgrade component for the 5.0-liter engine, a twin-screw supercharger unit available to consumers that can produce a staggering 624 horsepower and 536 ft-lbs of torque. The kit will be available in three levels; a 525 HP kit, 624 HP, and a tuner kit for racing applications and the extreme enthusiast.  Best of all, you can retain your warrantee if installed by a dealer…

Official Press Release:

Dearborn, Mich., Aug. 20, 2010 — Ford Racing has announced today the availability of a new, 2.3L twin-screw supercharger for the 2011 Mustang. When mated to the all-new 5.0L 4V TiVCT V8 engine, this 50-state-legal powertrain, can produce 624 hp SAE @ 6900 rpm and 536 lb-ft SAE @ 4700 rpm.  This is the first Twin-screw unit available to consumers.

The new supercharger is Ford Racing’s first power upgrade component for the new 5.0 engine.  It was developed by Ford Racing engineers, in close collaboration with Ford Motor Company’s powertrain engineers, Team Mustang, and select Tier 1 suppliers.  The supercharger is being seen for the first time Saturday at the annual Woodward Dream Cruise in Ford’s Mustang Alley display.

“Superchargers are the ultimate in power upgrades for Mustang enthusiasts,” says George Goddu, Ford Racing Performance Group Manager. “However, calibration for a modern V8 engine, especially one with twin-independent variable cam timing, is incredibly complex. Production calibration for the 5.0 engine took 19 months. And we had that knowledge base to work from.

“In fact we had the whole engineering background of the engine right from initial concept,” Goddu added.  “Without that extensive knowledge, calibration for a supercharger would be a long, difficult, hit-or-miss operation. It would be almost impossible to do optimum calibration, that results in great power, along with drivability and durability.”

“After more than 100 hours of accelerated durability testing, the entire Ford Racing package performed flawlessly” reports Dev Saberwal, Ford Racing’s lead calibration engineer, “Ford Racing performance parts are subjected to extensive testing to ensure optimum performance across a broad range of conditions.”

This supercharger comes as a complete package, and it’s available in three levels: a 525 hp kit with a 12/12 warranty; a 624 hp kit and a tuner kit for racing and extreme enthusiasts. Each of these impressive kits gives 2011 Mustang owners the opportunity to boost the performance of their cars to new levels.
