Where it all started: the venerable 5.0L Windsor. When Ford introduced factory fuel injection on the 1986 5.0L Mustangs, the barn doors were flung open to a new era of bolt-on performance. It was just a matter of time before these boost-friendly engines were realizing the real-world horsepower gains from the industry’s first air-to-air intercooled centrifugal superchargers: ProCharger. To this day, ProCharger is still the only manufacturer to offer an air-to-air intercooled supercharger system for the Fox-bodied 5.0Ls and the only intercooled solution for the SN-95, Windsor-powered Mustangs.
Don’t be fooled by “old school” push rod technology. Most 5.0L and Windsor engine equipped Mustang owners will see a 60-85% or more increase in horsepower from an intercooled ProCharger system. That’s enough power to easily knock two seconds off your 1/4-mile ET on an otherwise stock 5.0L Mustang. As a matter of fact, the patented and proven, self-contained ProCharger is the only supercharger that has put completely stock 5.0L Mustangs into the 11’s and will take Windsor-based engines into the 10’s, 9’s and 8’s with the fewest engine modifications.

Tuner Kits: These kits make sense for someone wanting to perform custom tuning of the car and push the envelope in performance. Will most likely be experimenting with alternative fuels.
ProCharger introduced the industry’s first intercooled supercharger system, running 9 psi, nearly five years before anyone else and to this day, is still the only company that offers air-to-air intercooling as an integrated solution rather than an afterthought. If you try to supercharge a 5.0L engine without an intercooler, you simply can’t run much boost without substantial exposure to detonation and engine damage. However, because intercooling removes the heat that causes detonation, you can safely run more engine-friendly air-to-air intercooled boost with full timing and complete peace of mind. And with air-to-air intercooling, there is no need for band-aids such as ignition retard, over-rich fuel injectors or ice water. Intercooling is simply the fundamental solution for reliable high performance, because it substantially improves both engine reliability and performance.
