Add 144 Hp To Shelby GT500 With Steeda Products

April 13th, 2007 by CobraMatt

Forget about buying the Shelby GT500 KR with 540 horsepower for upwards of $50K, why not just buy a Shelby GT500 and add two bolt-ons plus a tune from Steeda for an extra 144 hp at around $1500.  Steeda has come out with a new Cold Air Kit specifically designed for the Shelby GT500 that produces the greatest power gains of any kit on the market combined with their Custom SCT Tune.  The horsepower generated from the kit and tune equal 97 additional horsepower to the rear wheels.  If you add Steeda’s Supercharger pulley to those two mods horsepower jumps to 144 additional rear wheel horsepower and they have the dyno results to prove it.

The cold air kit is supplied with a stainless steel air box with built-in billet super velocity stack that helps to increase air flow by smoothing out incoming air.  Like most aftermarket intake kits Steeda’s Kit mounts in the factory location with the supplied rubber trim to keep the hot air out.  This cold air kit offers the largest mass air meter on the market at over 114 mm. Tests have shown inlet temps a mere 5 degrees above ambient temperature. The Steeda Lifetime Filter can easily be cleaned and re-oiled, making maintenance a snap. All stainless steel hardware required for installation is included in the kit.

Steeda’s cold air kit for the 2007 Shelby GT500 with the inlet elbow costs $390.  If you prefer not buy the inlet elbow the cold air kit will be $300.  Note when buying the cold air kit it requires a computer re-flash on the GT500 which is sold separately.  The supercharger pulley is $180.
