For most people, 526 naturally aspirated horsepower from a 5.2-liter engine that revs past 8,000 rpm would be plenty. If you are reading this sentence, you probably aren’t most people. Those of us afflicted with a speed lust simply take the factory horsepower rating as a jumping-off point, which is what ProCharger is about to do with its new GT350 supercharger systems.
“…These cars were born for the track and love being at high-rpm singing the song that only a flat-plane crank can give you. We can’t go into loads of details yet, however, we can tell you that we designed this system just for this amazing GT350,” says the company. “Installation is easy with no permanent modifications, no motor mount changes, no trimming/cutting/bending of any sort.”
ProCharger will roll out tuner kits first for those that are up for supplying their own custom tuning and fuel system upgrades. Soon thereafter it will release full kits with tuning and all the necessary supporting hardware.
“Our customers will be enjoying supercharged power with no power fade consistently lap after lap on the track with our system. Thanks to the worry free air-to-air intercooler and highly efficient supercharger head units inlet air temps are kept to an absolute minimum,” the company added. “A custom ProCharger air-to-air intercooler was designed specifically for this GT350 front nose, for maximum cooling and perfect OEM fit and finish.”
The company isn’t talking numbers for this system just yet, but its Stage 2 systems for the 2015+ Mustang GT promise up to a 240-horsepower gain from 9 pounds of boost. If these new systems deliver that much or more on the GT350 it should make for a fun ride. If are interested in acquiring one of these systems you can contact the company at [email protected] or (913) 338-2886 to get on the list to be informed when the system is released.
ProCharger will soon release tuner kits and complete supercharger systems for the 2015-2017 Shelby GT350.
These kits are not just repurposed Mustang GT kits, the ProCharger GT350 kit includes an intercooler designed specifically for the Shelby front end.
