Add Supercharger to 2006 GT-H?

[Christian Williams]

I own H400 and love it but would like a little more horsepower.  Has anyone installed a supercharger on their GT-H?  If so do you think it detracts from the overall value of the car?  I am currently looking at this one: https://www.shelbystore.com/2005-2010-Shelby-GT-Kenne-Bell-2-6L-Supercharger-p/z16-she-kb-46-tss.htm.

Christian......these 2 GT-H owners, here on the forum,  have added superchargers to their cars.... Harald Kelly and  ITHERTZ66. I'm sure they can answer your questions.

I added the Kenne Bell to both of my 08 Barrett Jackson Shelby GTs.  The supercharger definitely "wakes up" the car.

There is also a Whipple unit that is sold through Ford parts that is also compatible.

Last I knew Shelby would still install it.

Thanks for the additional information.  I was unaware that Shelby would do installs but that is very cool.  It seems like if I were to modify my GT-H having that work done at the Shelby facility would be the best way to go.

Have not been on the forum for some time so just seeing this post.  I had Shelby install a Shelby branded Paxton back in 2009 on 06H0050.  For what its worth, it is now registered as a Shelby GT-H/SC in the registry.   424 rwhp, I went with the Paxton because thats what Shelby and owners were installing back in 66.  The centrifugal SC is a little old school by todays standard I guess but I am happy with it.  I believe the Paxton is no longer available through Shelby.  It was a very short window of availability.  Enjoy the car.
