5.4L Ford GT-Stock vs. Kenne Bell 2.8L H-Blower Upgrade
The first thing you should notice is that, unlike the stock supercharger, the Kenne Bell 2.8L blower did not sign off at 700 horsepower. Equipped with a 2.75-inch blower pulley, the supercharged Ford GT motor produced 825 hp and 695 lb- ft of torque. Credit the additional displacement and improved (high pressure) efficiency of the Kenne Bell 2.8L blower for the additional power. We know the 2.8L blower is more than capable of supporting 1,000 hp, having produced 960 hp on a 4.6L with the smaller 2.4L blower. Originally, we were skeptical about the number of GT owners wanting to produce 800 hp, but the evidence suggests they are every bit as enthusiastic as the average '03-'04 Cobra owner.
