As of writing, motorists who want a Ford F-150<\/a> with supercar-like power can either wait for the V8-powered Raptor<\/a> to make a comeback in 2022 or turn to the aftermarket<\/a>. They’ll soon have a third option, according to a recent report: Ford<\/a> Performance announced a supercharger kit at the 2021 edition of the SEMA<\/a> show that was developed specifically for the latest generation of the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine.<\/p>\n

Enthusiast website Ford Authority<\/a><\/em> explained that Ford needed to develop a new supercharger kit for the 14th-generation F-150<\/a> because the available V8 features cylinder deactivation technology. While official information hasn’t been released yet, publication learned that the supercharger increases the truck’s<\/a> output to 700 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque; note that achieving those figures requires feeding the eight-cylinder premium gasoline. 0-60 mph reportedly takes under five seconds, which is tremendously fast.<\/p>\n

For context, the V8 makes 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque when left stock and naturally-aspirated. The kit that unlocks 300 horses includes a Whipple supercharger, an intercooler, an air inlet hose and the hardware required to install the different parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pricing information and availability haven’t been announced; we’re still waiting for an official announcement from the Blue Oval. In the meantime, Ford Authority<\/em> added that the supercharger is covered by a three-year, 30,000-mile warranty<\/a> and that it doesn’t void the factory warranty if it’s installed by an authorized dealer<\/a> because it has been tested and approved by Ford. It’s also legal to install in all 50 states.<\/p>\n
