Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit - Satin (1996-1998 Ford Mustang Cobra 4.6L 4V) 8N301-040
Air-to-Water Charge Cooler Upgrade for 4.6L 4V Mustang Cobra
The Vortech Power Cooler Upgrade Kit (PN 8N301-040) is an air-to-water Charge Cooler upgrade package engineered for 1996-1998 Ford Mustang Cobra models equipped with the 4.6L 4-valve engine and an existing non-cooled Vortech supercharging system. This kit converts a standard non-intercooled setup into a High Output, charge-cooled configuration, improving intake air temperature control, boost efficiency, and power consistency.
On an otherwise stock 4.6L 4V Mustang Cobra, this upgrade is designed to support approximately 10 psi of boost via the included supercharger pulley, delivering a meaningful performance increase while maintaining drivability.
High Output Charge-Cooled Conversion
As boost levels rise, managing intake air temperature is critical for performance and engine safety. The Vortech Power Cooler system uses an air-to-water Charge Cooler to reduce charge air temperatures, helping improve repeatable power delivery and reduce detonation risk during sustained boost or aggressive driving.
This upgrade is ideal for Cobra owners looking to step up from a non-cooled Vortech system without replacing their existing supercharger head unit.
