  • Ford Performance and Roush Performance co-developed an all-new supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8 engine for the 2018 Mustang and F-150
  • Supercharger rated at 700 horsepower and 610 lb.-ft. of torque for Ford Mustang GTs and 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque for Ford F-150
  • New supercharger kit is warrantied when installed by Ford dealer or an Automotive Service Excellence-certified service technician
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 31, 2017 – A storied history in powertrain development between Ford Performance and Roush Performance continues with a new state-of-the-art supercharger that peaks at 700 horsepower for the new V8-powered 2018 Mustang GT.

The supercharger kit is specially designed to work with the 5.0-liter V8’s new port and direct injection fuel system. The Mustang GT version also offers 610 lb.-ft. of torque at 12 psi of boost on 93 octane fuel for either manual or automatic transmission. When fitted to a 2018 F-150, it provides 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft.

The kit comes with all installation hardware and an exclusive performance calibration.

Ford Performance and Roush, with a successful working relationship that goes back more than two decades, are the foremost experts on Ford powertrains. This new supercharger kit is backed by a limited warranty and the vast support network of Ford Motor Company and Roush. The installation of this kit does not void new vehicle warranties.

“Ford and Roush have teamed up on performance for years on and off the track,” said Doug White, Global Ford Performance Parts Manager. “This new supercharger is another great example of our innovation in performance, greatly improving horsepower and torque so people can enjoy two of our most iconic vehicles even more."

“Our teams collaborated to create the most highly engineered, tested and performing supercharger kit on the market,” said Jack Roush, chairman, board of directors, Roush Performance. “The combination of the 2018 5.0-liter engine and our all-new, fully integrated 2650 supercharger system yields simply incredible, no-compromise performance.”

The new Ford Performance supercharger kit will be available in early 2018 through Ford dealers, Ford Performance Warehouse Distributors and Roush Performance dealers. Additional information can be found at FordPerformanceParts.com.

This is the best part.
I wonder the total cost of the kit and installation by Ford or Roush? $12,000???

I would hope it's not that steep. Current '15+ kit sells for +/- $6,800 and the install is variable. I paid $1,500 but have read where people paid as little as $800.

The new blower has the air inlet in the front so likely will not require cutting of the "K" brace that was required with the prior kit.

As reported.

The new Port Direct Injection will not permit intercooler housing in the V. Both the Direct and Port Injectors now rest where a traditional supercharger's intercooler a once did.

Whipple had to redesign the entire unit and opted to flip the supercharger upside down (literally). The intercooler is no on top of the screws (see Whipples new SC) and sited the Port Direct Injectors as the cause.

This 2600 will require an external intercooler, keep that in mind.


The GT500 will not be equipped with Whipples new upside down charger, as reported, PDI caused major issues.

People constantly fall for the "this doesn't void the warranty" BS. No modification inherently voids the factory warranty. But if the blower destroys the motor or your trans then it becomes a problem.

This is your new warranty. Original powertrain warranty get's replaced with new one from Ford Performance/Roush. Rest of your new vehicle warranty remains intact. Usually the powertrain gets reduced to 3/36 in place of the 5/60. We'll see.

I'd be happy with a 3/36 warranty.

That SC is one nice looking piece. It will look a lot better on the engine than the engine cover. May have to get a 2018 so I can get the SC.
