Vortech Air-to-Air Charge Cooler Upgrade - Satin (2005-2006 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L 3V) 8N301-390
Air-to-Air Charge Cooler Upgrade for Vortech-Supercharged S197 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers Air-to-Air Charge Cooler Upgrade (PN 8N301-390) is a satin-finish air-to-air Charge Cooler upgrade package engineered for 2005-2006 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 3-valve engine that are currently running a non-cooled Vortech supercharging system. This upgrade converts an existing non-intercooled configuration into a charge-cooled setup, improving intake air temperature control, power consistency, and overall system efficiency.
By lowering inlet air temperatures under boost, this system helps support safer power delivery and improved repeatability - especially during spirited driving or extended boost conditions.
Why Upgrade to an Air-to-Air Charge Cooler?
As boost pressure increases, intake air temperature rises rapidly. Vortech's air-to-air Charge Cooler uses ambient airflow to reduce charge air temperatures before the air enters the engine, helping minimize detonation risk and improve overall thermal efficiency without the complexity of a water-based system.
This upgrade is ideal for Mustang GT owners seeking a simpler, effective cooling solution while retaining their existing Vortech supercharger head unit.
