The Ultimate Power Upgrade for 5.0L V-8 F-150 Owners
When Ford redesigned the F-150's 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine for 2018, enthusiasts appreciated the 10 horsepower gain (now 395HP) and 13 lb-ft torque increase (now 400 lb-ft). However, for truck owners demanding serious performance, Ford Performance partnered with Roush to develop a factory-approved supercharger kit that transforms the F-150 into a class-leading performance truck.
This isn't just another aftermarket bolt-on - it's a complete engineered system that includes:
- Roush TVS R2650 supercharger
- High-flow fuel injectors
- Performance air-to-water intercooler
- Calibrated engine control unit (ECU) tuning
- All necessary hardware and installation components

Performance That Redefines Expectations
The supercharger kit's 640 horsepower output at 5,750 rpm and 600 lb-ft torque at 4,500 rpm represent:
- 62% horsepower increase over stock configuration
- 50% more torque for explosive acceleration
- Improved towing capacity when properly equipped
- Enhanced throttle response throughout the powerband
Real-World Testing: SEMA Show Demonstration
At the 2017 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, professional drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. showcased the supercharger's capabilities in his F-150 RTR Muscle Truck. The demonstration proved the kit's durability under extreme conditions, featuring:
- Repeated high-RPM launches
- Sustained drifting maneuvers
- Aggressive off-road jumps
- Continuous full-throttle operation
-
Factory Warranty Protection - A Rare Advantage
Unlike most performance modifications, this supercharger kit maintains factory warranty coverage when:
- Installed by Ford dealership technicians
- Or ASE-certified mechanics at authorized shops
The 3-year/36,000-mile powertrain warranty coverage (whichever comes first) gives buyers peace of mind unavailable with typical aftermarket forced induction systems.
Beyond Street Performance: Off-Road Dominance
The F-150 RTR Muscle Truck at SEMA demonstrated how the supercharger kit performs in extreme off-road conditions:
- Heavy-duty rear axle to handle increased torque
- Long-travel suspension for high-speed desert running
- Reinforced drivetrain components for jumping and hard landings
- Upgraded cooling systems for sustained performance
This combination makes the supercharged F-150 ideal for:
- Baja-style off-road racing
- Heavy towing applications
- High-performance work truck use
- Enthusiast street/show vehicles
