The Vortech Superchargers V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit (PN 4FL218-160L) is engineered specifically for the 1999 Ford Mustang GT equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine.

This non-charge-cooled tuner kit is ideal for experienced builders and racers who want full control over fueling and tuning strategy. With proper supporting modifications and calibration, this system is capable of safely increasing output from the factory 260 horsepower to approximately 364 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 371 lb-ft.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The included V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger represents Vortech's latest internally lubricated design. Its self-contained oiling system eliminates the need for engine oil feed and drain lines, simplifying installation while improving long-term reliability and serviceability.
Developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell, the advanced impeller and housing design provides efficient airflow, reduced heat generation, and consistent boost delivery across the RPM range.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained

This allows professional tuners and racers to select injectors, fuel pumps, and tuning solutions tailored to specific engine combinations and power goals.
This specific part number does not include a Charge Cooler. Vortech offers charge-cooled systems under separate part numbers for applications requiring additional intake air temperature control.
