goesfast Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 The Ford Racing supercharger will fit nicely under the hood and add about 85HP to the motor, using the base model at approx. 5 PSI of boost. You can always opt for the higher horsepower model if you wish. The strut cross-brace will not fit with the supercharger in place but I understand that Ford is working on one that will. A nice way to boost overall HP, but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ford Racing superchargers are Whipple twin screw units. Get one the the air to water intercooler to maximize performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump_breaker Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'm leaning toward the Kenne Bell system so I gave them a call. Here is the info. The 07 Mustang Kit (4.6 24V): Non-intercooled at 5 psi produces about 400 RWHP = $4599.00 (TS 1000-05) increase of 151 engine HP (RWHP/.85) Intercooled produces about 450 RWHP @ 8psi = $5699.00 (TS 1000-05-INT) ($1100 more for 50 HP??) Plus 140 s&h. They said not to boost a stock 4.6 more than 10psi or 480 HP and there should be no problems with hurting the engine. They also said it's not difficult to install but time consuming. http://www.kennebell.net/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have or are planning on adding an aftermarket hood be prepared to make modifications to the inner layer (if the hood has one) as fiberglass hoods are generally thicker then the stock unit. I had to cut the center out on my CS6/GT-H hood to fit over my Roush blower. even with all that clear I have had the strut bolts hit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 For those that dont have or arent going with the Paxton through SAI what is the reason? I am just curious to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottydr_merged Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I would have SAI Install a paxton, need to know 3 things, How much is the install, how long will it take and when can they install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The Paxton install at SAI cost $6400 (parts and labor). I can't help you on the timeline. Also, if somebody really would prefer a roots type supercharger over the centirifcal Paxton, Shelbyperformanceparts.com has a roots type Ford supercharger on the site. I am sure the SAI mod shop can install that if you choose. Who knows it might even carry the Ford warranty. Somebody else will have to research that supercharger, I went with the Paxton installed by SAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump_breaker Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 ....they certainly don't have the same block, did you mean manifold? No I meant block. Does the roots type blower not replace the intake manifold and bolt to the block? For those that dont have or arent going with the Paxton through SAI what is the reason? I am just curious to know. I would like to keep it all Shelby install but I'm not paying to have my car shipped to Vegas, sit for 6 months and then pay to have it shipped back. I also like the old school look of the roots type. (It's not a supercharger, it's a BLOWER!!) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamRide Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 How does one go about getting an appointment with SAI to do an install, thxs When i talked to Bud when i was there about the install's and such, he said at this time i might be better waiting till the end of or first of the year to have it done so be ready for a wait. The Paxton install at SAI cost $6400 (parts and labor). I can't help you on the timeline.

I am sure the SAI mod shop can install that if you choose. Who knows it might even carry the Ford warranty. Somebody else will have to research that supercharger, I went with the Paxton installed by SAI. It wont come with a warranty (Part maybe). I can get one thru the dealer across from mine for a good price but, no install and they say No warranty on my motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webba Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanks for the info guys! I guess I will have to do alot of research before I do this. I prefer the Paxton because it is SAI done and will keep it all Shelby but it sounds like there are many types of chargers and differences so who knows. If Tasca Ford ends up being a East Coast SAI installer it will make the decision ALOT easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offered to do it for me months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
