Best Coyote Supercharger Kits: Roush vs Whipple vs ProCharger

A plain-English comparison of the top Ford 5.0 Coyote supercharger kits — Roush TVS, Whipple twin-screw, and ProCharger centrifugal — and which suits your build.

By Rhett Sanderson Updated July 22, 2026

A supercharger is the fastest way to turn a Coyote from quick to genuinely fast. This guide compares the major kit styles and points you to new parts on Amazon and used/OEM superchargers on eBay Motors.

Twin-Screw and TVS: Roush and Whipple

Positive-displacement superchargers — the Roush TVS and Whipple twin-screw units — bolt on top of the engine and deliver boost the instant you touch the throttle. They make monster low-end torque and are the go-to for street and strip cars that want to hit hard everywhere.

Centrifugal: ProCharger and Vortech

Centrifugal supercharger kits mount on the front of the engine and build boost with RPM, much like a belt-driven turbo. They run cooler, make big peak numbers, and are easy to package. If you love a top-end rush and intercooling flexibility, this is your style.

Supporting Mods You Actually Need

Boost exposes weak links. Before or alongside the blower, plan a fuel system that can feed the extra air, and seal the top end with head studs. A tuner is mandatory to run the kit safely.

Airflow to Match

A supercharger loves clean air in and free flow out. A cold air intake and a set of long-tube headers let the boosted engine make the most of every pound of pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a twin-screw and a centrifugal supercharger?
Twin-screw and Roots/TVS blowers (Whipple, Roush) sit on top of the engine and make big boost and torque instantly, right off idle — great for street and strip torque. Centrifugal units (ProCharger, Vortech) mount on the front like a belt-driven turbo and build boost with RPM, making peak power up top and running cooler. Both work brilliantly on a Coyote; the choice is a torque-curve preference.
Do I need a built engine to add a supercharger?
For street power levels, the stock Coyote long block handles a supercharger well, but you should add head studs and a supporting fuel system before pushing higher boost. The block and rotating assembly are strong; the head sealing and fuel supply are what limit safe power.
Will a supercharger need a tune?
Yes. Every forced-induction kit needs a calibration to run safely — most kits include a handheld tuner or a base tune, and many owners add custom tuning to optimize for their fuel and mods.
