- The 2018+ 5.0L Mustang system uses Vortech’s V-3 JT-Trim supercharger. Continued development in Vortech’s Lab resulted in the V-3 JT-Trim. The patented oil control system and state of the art centrifugal compressor stage this V-3 literally blows away the competition. Industry leading 76% adiabatic efficiency [SAE J1723 standard] means less heat is being generated, drive power is reduced and more net power is produced. Less heat also means better durability. Also, Vortech’s supercharger systems weigh less than half of the low-tech competing brands.
Superior Technology
- Centrifugal superchargers easily make more pressure and flow than a roots type blower and are much more efficient. Read our Roots vs Centrifugal comparison to see the numbers.
- Vortech supercharger systems are a great value. Dollar for dollar, Vortech systems deliver more horsepower than virtually any other method of upgrade. Also, driven normally, gas mileage often increases rather than decreases.
Supercharger Kit Finishes
- Multiple kit finishes available. For that fully integrated look, 5.0 Mustang systems are available in factory matching black finish. Satin and Polished units are also available.

CARB Compliance
- Tuner Kits are NOT CARB legal, and are legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used, or registered or licensed for use, upon a highway (off-road use only). The manufacture, sale, offer for sale, or installation of this product may also be illegal under the federal clean air act (42 U.S.C. § 7522(A)(3)).
Tuner Kits, Upgrades, More HP
For higher-horsepower, custom-tuned installations we recommend a tuner kit, which does not include a fuel pump, fuel injectors or ECU programmer. This requires you or your installer to provide custom calibration and the required fuel components. The V-3 JT-Trim supercharger included with the tuner kit is capable of up to 1,000 HP on modified vehicles. Tuner kits are also available as the Competition Tuner Kit, with the 1,200 HP capable V-7 JT-B supercharger for high-performance racing vehicles.
Call us for more information.
*NOTE: Competition Tuner Kits do not include 8-Rib serpentine crank damper pulley, which must be sourced separately.
