Two of the most prominent blue-blooded nameplates in the aftermarket arena have teamed up to add more power to the Ford Shelby GT500.  This achievement is made possible by, you guessed it, upping the boost ante.  After the blower is installed, one can expect an increase to 605 horsepower.  Having the power is part of the puzzle—keeping it is the other.  This supercharger is backed by a 12month/12,000 mile warranty.

This power comes with a price tag of $5600 from Ford Racing Technologies and Roush Performance.  The Ford Racing GT500 Supercharger also comes packaged with a calibration-ready cold air induction kit (CAI) and a Ford Racing ProCal calibration tool.  The CAI assists in reducing pressure drop when air passes over the OEM air filter housing and air filter element.  A 6-inch, high flowing conical filters finishes off the CAI to bring in the maximum amount of air possible.

Ford developed a magnificent engine with the creation of the 5.4-liter V-8 engine. They are able to pull 500 horsepower which is amazing for a street car and it's no wonder it has quickly become one of the most sought-after Mustangs," said Jack Roush. "But we thought we could get a little more out of that engine. In tandem, we were able to pull another 105 horsepower without compromising the warranty and I have no doubt that this new Ford Racing Supercharger will be in very high demand by owners of the Shelby GT500.

A new TVS roots-style technology brings along a considerable amount of airflow and reduced turbulent air streams into the GT500’s cylinder heads—a first ever for any application in the OE and the aftermarket realm.

As the aftermarket continues to develop for these modern day legends, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
