Many have been waiting for a little something out of Livonia, Mich., and now we can thank Jack Roush and Roush Performance as they have unveiled the ROUSHcharger system for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT and Ford’s already powerful 5.0-liter V-8 engine. Ford Racing recently showcased their supercharger system for the 5.0-liter engine, capable of producing a menacing 624 horsepower, and now we have another Ford tuner legend doing some performance work.

Roush’s system is a little tamer though, if 550 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of twist are to be considered tamed. Granted, this is all done on stock pump gasoline.

The 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit comes with a 90 mm pulley, generating about seven pounds of boost. The stock fuel injectors are replaced with 47 pound fuel injectors along with high-flow fuel rails. Also included are a twin 60 mm throttle body and a high-flow Roush air lid.

The Tuner Kit does not maintain the factory Ford warranty, but does come with a 90-day parts warranty itself. Also, this isn’t a job for you grease monkeys out there; installation and tuning are recommended to be completed by a professional.

Roush displayed the new 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit at the 2010 Mustang Alley car show during the Woodward Dream Cruise last Friday, with many onlookers having to take a second glance at the suped up 2011 Ford Mustang GT.

Jack Roush, chairman of ROUSH Enterprises, said: “While the new Ford five-liter engine offers amazing performance right from the factory, the new ROUSHcharger will kick it up a level.”

This 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit is available and ready for shipment or installation. The kit has a suggested retail price of $5,999. Roush is working on a 5.0L ROUSHcharger Kit that should be available this fall, which will come complete with a ROUSH calibration and full warranty.
