Question: Can I install a supercharger system myself?
Answer: Installing a supercharger is not brain surgery. If you are relatively mechanically inclined, can follow directions, and have the necessary tooling then installation can usually be completed within a 6-8 hour timeframe. Each manufacturer goes to great lengths to ensure that each kit is complete with everything you will need, some even down to the wire ties, and that the directions are clear, visual, and concise. They also provide excellent tech support should you run into any problems during the installation process.

Question: Do I have to tap the oil pan for the oil supply?
Answer: It depends on the type of supercharger system you purchase. Some of the units we sell are called “self-contained” units and have their own internal lubrication system, or are belt driven and do not need lubrication. The other units do require the oil pan to be tapped, but the process is much easier than it first sounds.

Question: How does a Kenne Bell supercharger mount onto a 1996 Mustang Cobra engine w/ 4.6L?
Answer: The Kenne Bell Head Unit will replace the entire Intake Manifold and mount directly to the Heads. It is considered a "center mount" unit.

Question: Can I install a supercharger system myself?
Answer: Each supercharger system we sell comes complete with detailed instruction manual. A word of caution: bolting on a 50% increase in horsepower is not magic and some kits can be more challenging than others. You must be confident in your mechanical training, experience and abilities to properly complete the installation. Any error in the installation could affect the performance and drivability of your vehicle. Additionally, any modifications to your vehicle, including engine work, exhaust, tire size and gear ratios, could require additional modifications to fuel and timing. If you are not sure about your abilities to install a supercharger system, make sure you have somebody who can help you, or simply let a performance shop do the installation for you.

Question: Will the Kenne Bell 5.0 Mustang supercharger kit fit the Lincoln 5.0 LSC Mark VII?
Answer: You can retro fit the Kenne Bell 5.0 Mustang supercharger kit to fit the Lincoln 5.0 LSC Mark VII, but we highly suggest you have a profession handle the installation.

The Standard Mustang kit will fit, but the GT40 kit will NOT work. The GT40 manifold will hit the ABS brakes, so installation cannot be completed.

You will need to find 3 brackets in order for the installation to work. Ford discontinued these brackets, but we do have the part numbers for you.

E2ZZ19D943A – Rear A/C Support Brackets
E5ZZ19D624A – Mustang Front Bracket Plate
E5ZZ3C511A – Power Steering Bracket

Once you have these items the supercharger kit can be retro fitted.
