Ford racing supercharger
Hi guys. Looking at trading my 2014 GT for a 2016 this winter/early spring. And would like to add the Ford racing supercharger kit. It seems to be popular in the US and the least troublesome as far as warranty of the car is concerned. But I'm having a hell of a time getting my local dealer to even look into it. Has anyone had any luck with one of these as a dealer install ? Tks guys

I can't see why the dealer wouldn't want to do it. One thing to keep in mind though, is that even though it's a Ford Racing part installed by a Ford Racing dealer, your factory engine warranty is basically gone and warranty gets picked up by Ford Racing. If something happens, you may not have 100% coverage on parts or labor. It usually caps at a certain dollar amount.

I can live with partial coverage. Ultimately Just curious if Canadian dealers are indeed installing these At the very least my dealer could refer to them for advice Or at least find out where to look for info relating to such an install

Canadian dealers are definitely installing them, and Ford even sent out a bulletin to all dealers in July with info on it. You can give them this bulletin number MBG 2015-312N and it should give them all of the info that they need.

Buy a GT500, full warranty, pre-installed supercharger, no worries about coverage. Welcome, just kidding, but not really. for what you would spend on a supercharger, installation, and any other upgrades, I'm really starting to think as I get older that factory muscle is the way to go. Now if I can just get my hands on a GT350. lol

I want to go new And as the gt500 is no longer available, and the Gt350 is a beauty. But its 65000$at least and has 526 hp. The regular GT with blower is 56-57k with 670hp. And precisely why I'm looking to stick with something as close to factory warranty as possible. I'll admit factory muscle is the way to go. Ford just doesn't have something as potent as the gt500 currently
