The S550 Mustang system uses Vortech's V-3 Si supercharger. Continued
development in Vortech's Lab resulted in the V-3 Si. The "i" stands for
improved and with its new patented oil control system and state of the
art centrifugal compressor stage this V-3 literally blows away the
competition. Industry leading 78% 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.
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 Si supercharger included with the
tuner kit is capable of up to 775HP on modified vehicles. Tuner kits
are also available with the 1,000HP V-7 JT supercharger for
high-performance racing vehicles. Call Vortech or your dealer for more
information.
