Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit - Satin (1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 8N301-030
Air-to-Water Charge Cooler Upgrade for 4.6L 2V Mustang GT
The Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit (PN 8N301-030) is an air-to-water Charge Cooler upgrade package engineered for 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L 2-valve vehicles currently running a non-cooled Vortech supercharging system. This kit converts an existing non-intercooled setup into a High Output, charge-cooled configuration, improving intake air temperature control, boost efficiency, and overall performance consistency.
On an otherwise stock 4.6L 2V Mustang GT, this upgrade is designed to support approximately 10 psi of boost through the included supercharger pulley, delivering a noticeable performance increase while maintaining drivability.
High Output Charge-Cooled Conversion
As boost levels rise, managing intake air temperature becomes critical. The Vortech Power Cooler upgrade uses an air-to-water Charge Cooler to reduce charge temperatures, helping increase power repeatability and reduce detonation risk during sustained boost or aggressive driving.
This system is ideal for 4.6L 2V owners looking to step up from a standard non-cooled Vortech setup without replacing their existing supercharger head unit.
