Roush’s latest supercharger kit promises to increase power by up to 330 horsepower and torque by 195 pound-feet.
Roush Performance, with nearly three decades of expertise in upgrading Mustangs and supplying parts for the iconic pony car, is prepared for the arrival of the seventh-generation Mustang in the 2024 model year. They are poised to maximize the potential of Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine with their new supercharger kit. This kit can boost the GT’s power output significantly, adding 330 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.
In addition to the standard offering, Roush introduces a limited-run Launch Edition supercharger kit that ramps up the GT’s performance to an impressive 810 hp and 630 lb-ft of torque. Each unit features Jack Roush’s signature etched on the head unit and includes exclusive Phase 2 tuning. Details on the upcoming Phase 1 and Phase 2-tuned supercharger kits, set to be available later this year, have yet to be disclosed by the company.
Roush, in partnership with Magnuson, developed the supercharger kit around an inverted Eaton TVS R2650, enhanced with large dual intercoolers and a front inlet. Fueling the system are dual 80-millimeter throttle bodies, generating a maximum boost of 13 psi at 7,500 rpm. Included in the kit are pre-gapped Ford Performance spark plugs, a Bosch intercooler pump, new billet fuel rails, an 84-mm pulley, and twin-cone fuel injectors.
The standard 2024 Ford Mustang GT, produced at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly plant, boasts 486 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque. Roush’s upgrade elevates the Mustang’s performance into the realm of the GTD, which is expected to exceed 800 hp, though it carries a hefty price tag of $325,000 and includes more extensive hardware beyond a mere supercharger kit.
Roush’s new offering is compatible with the 2024 Ford Mustang GT and Dark Horse variants equipped with Ford’s 5.0-liter V-8 engine and available gearbox options. The Launch Edition, featuring Phase 2 tuning, is currently available for $9,995. However, it has not yet received approval from CARB, meaning it cannot be legally installed on vehicles in California or other CARB-regulated states. The Phase 1 kit, expected to offer lower power gains, should be priced lower accordingly.
