| DREAM REVEAL: SUPERCHARGER FOR ‘11 5.0L TIVCT 8/20/2010 |
|
Dearborn, Mich. — Ford Racing has announced today the availability of a new, 2.3L twin-screw supercharger for the 2011 Mustang. When mated to the all-new 5.0L 4V TiVCT V8 engine, this 50-state-legal powertrain, can produce 624 hp SAE @ 6900 rpm and 536 lb-ft SAE @ 4700 rpm. This is the first Twin-screw unit available to consumers. The new supercharger is Ford Racing’s first power upgrade component for the new 5.0 engine. It was developed by Ford Racing engineers, in close collaboration with Ford Motor Company’s powertrain engineers, Team Mustang, and key partners in Roush and Whipple. The supercharger is being seen for the first time Saturday at the annual Woodward Dream Cruise in the Ford Mustang Alley display. “Superchargers are the ultimate in power upgrades for Mustang enthusiasts,” said George Goddu, Ford Racing Performance Group Manager. “Calibration for a modern V8 engine, especially one with twin-independent variable cam timing, is incredibly complex. Production calibration for the 5.0 engine took 19 months. Having that knowledge base to work from is a huge advantage. “In fact we had the whole engineering background of the engine right from initial concept,” Goddu added. “With that knowledge base, and extensive collaboration across the team, we are able to offer a top-notch supercharger, induction kit and the optimum calibration. This results in great power, drivability and durability.” “After more than 100 hours of accelerated durability testing, the entire Ford Racing package performed flawlessly” reports Dev Saberwal, Ford Racing’s lead calibration engineer, “Ford Racing performance parts are subjected to extensive testing to ensure optimum performance across a broad range of conditions.” This supercharger comes as a complete package, and it’s available in three levels: a 525 hp kit with a 12/12 warranty; a 624 hp kit and a tuner kit for racing and extreme enthusiasts. Each of these impressive kits gives 2011 Mustang owners the opportunity to boost the performance of their cars to new levels. Ford Racing Performance Parts offers a large selection of performance products from complete race cars to injectors. For Mustang enthusiasts Ford Racing’s catalog of performance upgrades offers a range of enhancements for the 2011 Mustang as well as a wide range of power, chassis-system and appearance upgrades for 2010, 2005-2009 and earlier Mustangs.

Ford F-150 gets entirely new engine lineup
Last Updated on Friday, 27 August 2010 21:14 Written by Christopher Ihara Wednesday, 11 August 2010 10:55
For 33 years the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck in America, and with good reason. Excellent design, attention to detail, and outstanding capability have been the truck's hallmark for years. The only tarnish on the F-150 for the past few years has been the engine. All of that is about to change.
Starting with the 2011 Ford F-150 an entirely new lineup of engines has been introduced. After a hiatus of the past few years a V6 is again available in the F-150 in trim levels up to XLT in Rear Wheel Drive applications. The 3.7L V6, the same one used in the Mustang and several other cars is available in the F-150 pumping out 300 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque and will tow up to 6,100 pounds.
Gone is the 4.6L SOHC engine and in its place is the new 5.0L 32-valve, DOHC engine found in the Mustang. Albeit with specific changes that make it more suitable for trucks. A slight reduction in compression ratio to 10.5:1 as well as a revised exhaust camshaft help to move peak torque lower. The engine now generates 360 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque and is capable of towing up to a class-leading 9,800 pounds.
The new premium engine for F-150 will be the 3.5L ecoboost V6 engine, which has undergone some revisions to make it suitable for truck duty. Final specs are not available for power and torque output yet, but should be available in about six to eight weeks.
But there's even more big news.

OSHKOSH, Wis.. (July 27, 2010) – Jack Roush, co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing and chairman of ROUSH® Enterprises, has been hospitalized following a plane crash at Wittman Regional Airport in OshKosh, Wis. A witness said that during landing, one of the plane's wings touched the grass which then caused the nose to come down and strike the ground. The plane then tumbled tail over nose until it came to rest.
Mr. Roush's secretary was the only other passenger on the Hawker Beechcraft Premier jet. Mr. Roush walked away from the crash under his own power, after sustaining serious but non-life threatening injuries in the crash. He was transported to a local hospital where attending physician Dr. Kevin Wasco stated that he was in serious but stable condition.
Roush, was coming to Oshkosh for the annual EAA AirVenture show.
This is the second crash since 2002 when Roush crashed another plane into a pond in Alabama. Witnesses from that crash rescued him from the wreck.
The official Roush web sites will have more information and updates as they become available. They will be posted to www.RoushFenwayRacing.com and www.ROUSHperformance.com.
