How do superchargers and turbochargers relate to, and improve upon, the performance level of a small-block Ford pushrod V-8 engine like a 289-302, a 351-Windsor, a Ford 351-Cleveland, or even the latest generation 4.6L/5.4L "modular" small-block V-8 engines? That's EXACTLY what this book is all about! While Ford dabbled in supercharging and turbocharging on production cars all the way back in 1957, the real revolution in supercharging and turbocharging Ford products has come through the aftermarket in more recent times. The Fox Mustang, created in 1979, and the platform that would eventually feature fuel injection in 1986, allowing much more boost, created a genre of lightning-quick and affordable performance cars. Featuring legendary supercharger and turbocharger manufactures like Paxton, Vortech, Pro-Charger, Garret-AirResearch and Power Dyne, as well as traditional Roots-style blower systems, this book covers everything you need to know about supercharging and turbocharging your small-block Ford. The author devotes a chapter each to Roots blowers, centrifugal superchargers, Eaton/Magnuson blowers, twin-screw blowers, and turbochargers. Each of these chapters covers the theory behind the power booster, what sets it apart from the others, and what kits are available for the high-performance enthusiast. The book also includes a number of installations and engine builds covering a variety of power boosters on modular and pushrod engines with carburetors and fuel injection. Illustrations include 425 Black and White Photos. The book focuses on 1986-2005 4.6, 5.0, 5.4, and 5.8 engines in the Mustang, GT, SVT, Cobra, F150, Lightning, and Expedition, but it also includes info on 80s Mustangs and 1964-1970 models.
