Vortech Supercharger Tuner Kit - V-3 SCi Trim Satin Finish (2016-2017 Shelby GT350) - 4FQ218-170L
Vortech V-3 SCi Tuner Kit for Shelby GT350 5.2L Builds
The Vortech V-3 SCi Tuner Kit for the 2016-2017 Ford Shelby GT350 is engineered for high-performance, custom-tuned applications where flexibility and efficiency matter most. Designed specifically for the GT350 and GT350 Track Pack models, this system is built around Vortech's V-3 SCi-Trim centrifugal supercharger and is intended for enthusiasts and builders planning upgraded fueling and custom ECU calibration.
Continued development in Vortech's engineering lab resulted in the V-3 SCi, where the "i" stands for improved. Featuring a patented oil control system and a state-of-the-art centrifugal compressor stage, the V-3 SCi achieves approximately 75% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723). Higher efficiency means less heat generation, reduced parasitic loss, more usable net power, and improved durability - critical advantages for the high-revving 5.2L Voodoo engine.
Air-to-Air Charge Cooling for Stable Power
This tuner kit includes a high-flow air-to-air charge cooler designed to maintain consistent intake air temperatures under boost. Cooler, denser air improves power consistency, increases detonation resistance, and supports safe operation as boost and power levels are increased on properly modified engines.
