ROUSH 428R* / ROUSH Performance

Gives Mustang GT 445 HP

ROUSH Performance has just given out details on improvements to the ROUSHcharger.  The new supercharger has an increase in output by 30 horsepower, capable of pushing a Ford Mustang GT to 445 total horsepower, with 418 ft-lb of torque.

The ROUSHcharger system gives an increase of over 48% in horsepower over the stock Ford Mustang GT.  Although not yet street legal in every U.S. state, they expect to get their product rubberstamped across America.

By making modifications to the pulleys used, and tweeking the PCM calibration accordingly, the large increase in hp was realized.  Fear not if you have an older ROUSHCharger: the new High Boost Pressure Pulley can be bought for $389.

The system includes an "M90 Roots-style supercharger, intake manifold, air-to-water intercooler system, high-flow fuel injectors and induction system," according to the press release.  Installing the ROUSHcharger does not invalidate Ford's 3-year/36,000 drivetrain warranty.

ROUSHcharger can be picked up in black for $5,599, or polished for an additional $300.  You can find the system at ROUSH authorized Ford dealers across the U.S. and Canada.

ROUSHCHARGER* GETS A HORSEPOWER UPGRADE, CARRIES SAME INDUSTRY-LEADING WARRANTY

LIVONIA, Mich. (October 2, 2006) - ROUSH Performance, America's leading powertrain engineering group, has added an additional 30 horsepower to their legendary ROUSHcharger* system for the Ford Mustang GT; this increases the output of this supercharger system to a total of 445 horsepower under the hood.

The additional horsepower comes from changing to a slightly smaller pulley and an enhanced PCM calibration to take advantage of the higher spin rate. Customers with a previously installed ROUSHcharger* can upgrade to this High Boost Pressure Pulley by ordering part number 402863 which has a suggested retail price of $389.00.

With the addition of the upgraded ROUSHcharger* any 2005-2008 Ford Mustang GT can be increased to 445 horsepower with 418 lb.-ft. of torque. This is a 48-percent horsepower gain over the stock engine's 300 ponies. This ROUSHcharger* system will soon be legal in all 50 states for both manual and automatic vehicles.

"The ROUSHcharger* is one of the most thoroughly engineered and tested supercharger systems on the market," said Jack Roush. "We have several hundred engineers here at ROUSH and utilized their collective knowledge to create a powertrain upgrade that will perform better than expected each and every time you put your foot on the gas pedal. The ROUSHcharger* has been tested following O.E. requirements and we are certain that it is designed to provide years of trouble-free use."

The ROUSHcharger* is also the only supercharger unit that is protected by the industry's leading warranty which covers the balance on Ford's 3-year/36,000 mile factory drivetrain backing, or one year on ROUSH components for vehicles already beyond this level.

The main components include a ROUSH M90 Roots-style supercharger, intake manifold, air-to-water intercooler system, high-flow fuel injectors and induction system. In addition to this hardware, the key to maximizing performance is the upgraded ROUSH PCM calibration.

The ROUSHcharger* is available in the standard black casing (part number 403309, suggested retail $5,599) or a polished version (part number 403310, suggested retail $5,899).
