What supercharger did they use in the 2008 Dan Gurney signature mustang? I am thinking of supercharging my 2005. Does anyone have any thoughts on supercharging a 4.6l

I don’t know the answer to your Dan Gurney model question. I have a 2.3l Whipple with a 91 octane tune and I love the broad torque range. It has had belts break on me at the track and that can be obviously dangerous and I’m looking at fixing this issue as soon as I have the money. I posted a thread and haven’t gotten any response. I’m new to the sight like you but maybe most members don’t particularly like superchargers. Kind of a “cheat” but in my opinion/experience the 3V benefits greatly from a positive induction supercharger. Can’t speak about the centrifugal type.What supercharger did they use in the 2008 Dan Gurney signature mustang? I am thinking of supercharging my 2005.

Did you have to modify anything else to accomdate the supercharger? Does the kit include everything? I am wondering if i need to so anything else to keep the engine cool or if you had to upgrade any internals. I would love the extra hp at the track and i think i can afford maybe 5-6,000 but if i have to do more than that, i may as well just wait a few more years and get something else that already has the power. Good luck with you belt issue, i hope you can get that figured out.I don’t know the answer to your Dan Gurney model question.

NA, supercharged, turbo- Love em all
There are tons of different kits out there by different manufacturers of varying price ranges. The old saying how much hp do you want, how much do you want to spend? All superchargers add a ton of heat and heat is the enemy of any internal combustion engine. At minimum a radiator upgrade over stock is needed and I recommend an intercooler and more open free flowing grill. I also have plans for an oil cooler, and some sort of heat extraction for the hood. I have stock internals and haven’t experienced a failure to date (knock on wood). I had not experienced any mechanical issues until I started driving it harder at the track, nature of the beast, and that is the 10’ long 6 rib belt breaking and some overheating on my last track day as the air temperature was higher than previous days and I’m driving the car harder every time. I don’t currently plan on running any timed competition events so a supercharger putting me in a higher class is not a concern. For me it’s an equalizer for the newer cars that have a ton of advantages over my platform especially in the power department. The Whipple is one of the more expensive kits out there but in my understanding Whipple worked directly with Ford, its a complete kit with necessary fuel deliver upgrades and programming for the ECM that has safeguards built in. For me, I’m most impressed by the huge improvement in the tourque and the broad range.Did you have to modify anything else to accomdate the supercharger? Does the kit include everything?

I honestly would be happy with 350RWHP NA but I would have to throw a hell of alot more money at it as I only paid $500 for my vortec set up.
