Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit - Polished (1986-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L) 8N301-018
Air-to-Water Charge Cooler Upgrade for Fox Body 5.0L Mustangs
The Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit (PN 8N301-018) is a polished air-to-water Charge Cooler upgrade package engineered for 1986-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L vehicles equipped with a non-intercooled Vortech H.O. Supercharging System. This kit converts an existing non-cooled setup into a charge-cooled configuration, improving intake air temperature control and boost consistency.
On an otherwise stock 5.0L Mustang LX, GT, or Cobra, this upgrade is capable of supporting approximately 8-10 psi when properly installed and configured.
Why Upgrade to a Charge-Cooled System?
Compression under boost raises intake air temperatures. Adding an air-to-water Charge Cooler reduces those temperatures, helping improve power repeatability, reduce detonation risk, and increase overall efficiency - especially during sustained boost or spirited driving.
This Power Cooler upgrade is ideal for Fox Body owners looking to enhance performance and reliability without replacing their existing Vortech supercharger head unit.
