How much performance does a supercharger add?
By compressing the air and forcing more oxygen into the
engine, superchargers can result in incredible performance gains. Typically,
you can expect a supercharger to add around 50-100 horsepower however in some
cases it can be significantly more. One of our most popular superchargers is
the WHIPPLE
Stage 1 Supercharger (GEN 5) For Mustang 5.0L GT 2015-17 which adds up to
355hp and 220ft/lb of torque.
What is the difference between a turbo and supercharger?
Both serve the purpose of compressing the air to force more
oxygen into the engine, increasing power and torque. Turbos are driven by the
engine's own exhaust gasses, whereas superchargers are driven mechanically.
Superchargers produce a more linear power curve, working at lower rpms compared
to turbos which have an exponential power curve and “turbo-lag”. In other
words, when you put your foot down with a supercharger, you get that power
boost immediately.
Which manufacturers make the best superchargers?
Roush and Whipple are two industry-leading manufacturers of
superchargers.
