While Ford dabbled in supercharging and turbocharging on production cars all the way back in 1957 with the legendary Thunderbird, and then again with Shelbys and over-the-counter kits, and then again in the late '70s and early '80s with turbocharging 4-cylinder applications in the Mustang and SHOs, the real revolution in supercharging and turbocharging Ford products has come through the aftermarket in more recent times. The Fox Mustang, created in 1979, and the platform that would eventually feature fuel injection in 1986, allowing much more boost, created a genre of lightning-quick and affordable performance cars. Featuring legendary supercharger and turbocharger manufactures like Paxton, Vortech, Pro-Charger, Garret-AirResearch and PowerDyne, as well as Roots-style systems, this book covers everything you need to know about supercharging and turbocharging your small-block Ford.
