Vortech Superchargers 1996-2004 Ford 4.6 Mustang GT Installation guide

  • Hello! I've read the VORTECH installation instructions for the 4.6L SOHC Mustang GT and BULLITT supercharger system. This document includes crucial information such as fuel requirements, how to address detonation issues, and the importance of using this product on stock vehicles. I'm here to assist with any questions you may have about the installation, maintenance, and usage of this system.
  • What type of fuel is required?
    What should I do if I hear detonation?
    Is this product suitable for modified vehicles?
