2005 Ford Mustang GT Upgrades Kenne Bell Supercharger Kit
NA '05 4.6 three-valve vs. Kenne Bell Blower Kit(9 psi)
The much-improved Three-Valve modulars have endowed the 4.6 GTs with NA Cobra performance thanks to a factory rating of 300 hp. Tested on the DynoJet, this '05 GT pumped out nearly 270 wheel horsepower, a sure bet that every one of the 300 flywheel horsepower was present and accounted for. One of the quickest ways to bring the GT up to supercharged Cobra specs (circa 2003-2004) is to add a supercharger. Given their repertoire of kits for the rest of the modular family, it was only natural that the guys at Kenne Bell decided to tool up for a system for the '05 Three-Valve GT. The infusion of 9 psi to the 4.6 Three-Valve upped the peak power from 268 hp to 459 hp. It would take a modified '03-'04 Four-Valve Cobra to pump out the kind of power this Three-Valve makes with the Kenne Bell blower. The intercooled system easily exceeded 400 lb-ft of torque from 2,700 rpm to 5,700 rpm, peaking at 422 lb-ft. View Related Article
