Vortech Supercharger Tuner Kit - V-3 SCi Trim Polished Finish (2016-2022 Shelby GT350) - 4FQ218-178L
Vortech V-3 SCi Tuner Kit for Shelby GT350 5.2L Voodoo Builds
The Vortech V-3 SCi Tuner Kit for the 2016-2022 Ford Shelby GT350 is engineered for high-performance, custom-tuned applications where efficiency, durability, and upgrade flexibility are critical. Designed for GT350 and GT350 Track Pack models, this kit is built around Vortech's V-3 SCi-Trim centrifugal supercharger and is intended for enthusiasts 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 an advanced centrifugal compressor stage, the V-3 SCi delivers approximately 75% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723). Higher efficiency translates to reduced heat generation, lower parasitic loss, increased usable power, and improved durability - key advantages for the high-revving 5.2L Voodoo engine.
Air-to-Air Charge Cooling for Consistent Power
This tuner kit includes a high-flow air-to-air charge cooler to help maintain stable intake air temperatures under boost. Cooler, denser air improves power consistency, increases detonation resistance, and supports higher boost levels on properly modified engines.
