The coolest running positive displacement supercharger system available. Which means you get more of your power, more of the time. 550hp with this kit is more HP than any other kit making 550hp
Using the Department Of Boost GT550-S197 Stage I Manifold kit, a stock GT500 blower and a few customer supplied parts you can supercharge your 2011-2014 Mustang GT for far, far less money than any other option out there.
Or
Use the manifold as the jumping off point for a huge horsepower build!

Intake Air Temperatures:
If you are new to forced induction you probably don’t understand the overwhelming factor that is intake air temperatures (IAT’s). This is a very complex subject, because this is an advertisement page and not a tech article we will keep it to the basics.
When air is compressed (that’s what forced induction is), it heats up. Hot air is bad for two reasons. One, hot air is not as dense as cold air so hot air makes less power. Two, hot air is more likely to cause detonation (knock) and engine damage. To prevent this engine damage the cars computer (ECU) monitors the IAT’s and as they go up the ECU pulls back ignition timing to keep it safe. The problem is that less timing equals less power. So when you have higher IAT’s than you want you are losing power because the air is not as dense and losing power because the ECU is pulling ignition timing. How much power do you lose you ask? A LOT is the answer. On your normal average 80deg day driving around on the street it is more common than not for a 550hp car to be down 80-100hp. Yes, 80-100HP!
IAT’s are the dirty little secret of the forced induction industry. Almost all blower/turbo manufacturers package their systems with the bare minimum. And that bare minimum means that most of the time you are driving your car you are not making the power it did on the dyno. Keeping IAT’s down on the dyno is easy. Keeping IAT’s down when you are driving your car around isn’t. It costs a lot of time and a lot of money to solve the IAT problem. And frankly until now no one has done it. This manifold represents the first time the IAT problem has been attacked head on by anyone.
We have designed a manifold/intercooler package that is capable of removing up to four times the heat of ANY positive displacement manifold/intercooler offered by any other manufacturer.
Bottom line. When using our package if you pull up next to another Coyote Mustang with the same dyno numbers as you, yours will be faster.
The Manifold Kit Includes:
-Billet aluminum intake manifold with integral intercooler
-Billet aluminum idler pulley bracket
-Billet aluminum idler pulley spacers
-Billet aluminum fuel rail spacers
-Billet aluminum quick change snout pulley and hub
-Blower bypass relocation kit
-Fasteners required to install the manifold and supercharger

Optional Composite Heat Barrier:
We offer an industry only option. Our composite heat barrier. Our composite heat barrier is part of the manifold (that part of the manifold is aluminum if the option is not taken). The manifold bolts directly to the cylinder heads. Cylinder heads are HOT. 200-235deg. Aluminum is a fantastic conductor of heat. The problem with bolting an aluminum intake manifold to 200+deg aluminum cylinder heads is that the intake manifold quickly heats up. That hot manifold in turn heats up the air inside it, which is your intake air…….that you want to keep cool. If at all possible you want to keep your IAT’s down below 100deg. That is nearly impossible when the “box” (the manifold) you are running them through is anywhere from 180-200deg. Our composite heat barrier is just that, a heat barrier. Heat has a very hard time passing through the composite material we chose. That means far far less heat is transferred to the body of the intake manifold, which means far far less heat is transferred to the intake air charge.
That is not the only advantage though. The intercooler (all intercoolers as far as we know) are attached directly to the intake manifold. The manifold is aluminum, the intercooler is aluminum. The intercooler has cool water running through it, the manifold is hot. What ends up happening is that the intercooler uses some of its ability to extract heat to cool the body of the intake manifold. That is not the intercoolers job, its job is to cool the air coming out of the blower. If the intercooler is using its LIMITED ability to extract heat to cool the intake manifold body it’s not doing a very good of a job at what it’s supposed to be doing, and that is cooling the air coming out of the blower. Additionally if the intercooler is cooling the body of the intake manifold there will be more heat in the water. More heat in the water means that it will not do as good of a job cooling the intake air temps. In short, cooler water is better. And with the composite barrier the water in the intercooler system will always be cooler.
At $230 the optional composite heat barrier is by far the best bang for your cooling buck you will ever spend. Period. You can’t spend $230 on your intercooler system anywhere and get the same performance advantage. Not even close.
The only situation where the composite heat barrier may not pay for itself is if the car is a drag strip only car (only running for 15-20sec at a time) and running an ice chest/ice water through the intercooler.

What is needed to complete the installation:
You, the customer will supply the rest of the parts to make the kit complete. In most cases there are lots of options (fuel injectors for instance). All of these parts are easily attainable and inexpensive. Some can be had used, some new. The list below represents a basic/easiest install and “matches” the instructions. It also matches the parts that come with the Stage III kit. You can go with different parts with different performance envelopes (blowers and heat exchangers for example) and build yourself a more aggressive kit if you want to. And if you really shop hard, have some friends that upgraded their GT500’s and will donate their take off parts, etc you can complete the kit for even less money.
If you don’t want to shop for all of these parts we have Stage II and Stage III kits available with more to all of the parts included.
Parts:
Here is a detailed suggested parts list for your GT550-S197 Stage I & II kits. Of course there are LOTS of different parts combinations you can use. The parts in this list represent what we think is the easiest way to get the job done. We based this list off of the parts list we use for the Stage III kits which come with everything needed.
Of course you can’t get all the parts from one place. What we did is listed them using as few suppliers as possible. And in cases like Summit or Amazon you get free shipping (on Summit orders over $100 and if you have Amazon Prime). A lot of the stuff on this list can also be had locally. We think this is the least expensive and easiest way to get all the parts.
If you don’t want to use some of the suppliers listed simply fire the part number in google and you will get all sorts of options.
Optional PITA Parts:
There are a lot of “little” parts needed to complete the kit. We offer what we call the PITA Parts Package. You will still source the bigger items yourself, but you can save yourself a lot of legwork and you will not have to go to as many vendors if you purchase the PITA Parts Package.
The optional GT550-S197 PITA Parts Package is $500
