About the 2011 Mustang 5.0 Liter "Coyote" Engine

This new 5.0 more than lives up to its pre-production hype, producing 412hp and 390ft. lbs of torque, with advanced features like a cross-bolted main bearing aluminum block, 32-valve DOHC alloy heads and Twin-Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT). Additional features such as piston cooling jets that spray oil on the under sides of pistons and a large 8-quart capacity oil sump simply add to the reliability of this robust engine that is built for supercharging.

About the Magnuson MagnaCharger Supercharger

Like Ford, Magnuson started with a clean sheet when designing its MagnaCharger for this 5.0L engine. The centerpiece is a Magnuson MP1900 or MP2300 (consumer choice) TVS® supercharger. These four-lobe high-helix hybrid roots type superchargers are highly efficient and very quiet – the same Eaton® supercharger technology found on the new ZR1 Corvette. "Think of it as a virtual 428 Cobra Jet," said Ed Tresback President and COO of Magnuson when asked about the power from this MagnaCharger Kit. Initial testing at 7psi of boost has shown a 120 rwhp increase over stock. These superchargers are built around Magnuson's high-flow supercharger housing with exclusive power grid technology and feature an integrated bypass valve insuring outstanding drivability and increased fuel economy. The supercharger is mounted on the engine with an equal-length-runner intake manifold that houses an integral air-to-water charge cooler. Magnuson delivers on its promise of "Power without Compromise" by duplicating all factory manifold connections, supplying new high volume fuel injectors with factory push lock connectors, fittings and all other components needed for an OEM level installation that does not require you to "cut or hack" your new Mustang. Each MagnaCharger includes a pre-programmed hand-held tuner that re-flashes the factory ECU with an engine calibration.
