Are Ford Crown Victoria police cars supercharged?

or is it the standard 4.6L V8s in the Mustang GTs and F150s.Are Ford Crown Victoria police cars supercharged?
They are not supercharged. They all use the standard 4.6L SOHC V8. The only enhancements to the engine are a slightly more aggressive ECU tune , dual exhaust without resonators, a heavy duty alternator and HD cooling. In most years even the civilian Crown Vics could be had with most of the police package bits with the Handling/Performance Package from the factory. that got you the dual exhaust and lower gearing that the P71's had.



In short the CV police cars aren't much quicker or faster than a civilian CV.
Crown Vics police cars such as HWY Pursuit cars have 150 speedo's and have around 300 or more HP and some run the Mercury Marauder engine. The around town cars are lower hp because it keeps them more reliable and pretty much bullet proof to repairs, many of the ex cop cars end up being taxi cabs and have the engine chips dialed down for around town cruising. Most standard chips used in limos and standard cop cars are around 280hp.Are Ford Crown Victoria police cars supercharged?
No, they are basically standard 4.6L that same Ford puts in every car. They have some small differences and nice extras like coolers every now and then depending on the year model. But it would simply cost too much money to build a special engine just for police cars.
Ive never heard a cruiser have a blower whine.

No governor and stiffer suspension. That's it.
