TorqStorm has recently introduced a new billet aluminum centrifugal supercharger for the Ford S550 Coyote engine. It is available in natural alloy or black anodized.
This new system produces 7 to 10psi of boost and 1,250cfm of air flow and increases the engine’s power output by about 40 to 50 percent. The boost range is active from around 2,000 to 6,500rpm, and the supercharger’s operating efficiency is accomplished in part by the design of its billet compressor wheel.
For high-speed durability, the gearbox and bearing housing is constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum alloy rather than the adoption of a cast enclosure. Strength is further advanced by the use of tool steel straight-cut gears and ceramic bearings are introduced to minimize parasitic drain on the engine. A spring loaded non-adjustable belt tensioner is included.
As customary, this kit features TorqStorm’s familiar self-contained oiling system, which eliminates the need for oil-feed lines and thus simplifies installation.
Lastly, the kit includes a ¾-inch thick mounting bracket, 8-rib supercharger drive belt, matching crank pulley, ATI crank damper, and 52mm blow-off valve. Pricing: $3,950 to $4,200
Additional information:
All TorqStorm superchargers are designed, machined, and assembled in Wyoming, Michigan, about 150 miles from the origins of the S550 in Flat Rock. In stock form the S550 Coyote engine averages 600-plus rear wheel horsepower and delivers volumetric efficiency (VE) in excess of 106 percent; VE is defined as the ratio of the mass density of the air-fuel mixture drawn into the cylinder at atmospheric pressure to the mass density of the same volume of air in the intake manifold.
