Ford Performance just announced a supercharger upgrade kit for the 2024 Ford Mustang that will reportedly take the stock V8 from 480 horsepower to a whopping 800. Almost any V8-powered seventh-generation Mustang can be fitted with the new supercharger, meaning that every drift-happy Mustang owner will soon have more power than a McLaren 750S.
The supercharger in question is a 3.0-liter, sixth-gen Whipple twin-screw supercharger, and the kit comes with a few extra upgrades. For example, it also gets a new oversized heat exchanger and high-flow intercooler pump, billet high-flow fuel rails, a new 92 mm throttle body, 120 mm dual air intake system, new high-flow dual-beam fuel injectors, dual high-flow fuel filters, and a Tomahawk V2 flash tool. The kit works for all 5.0-liter Mustang GT models, regardless of transmission. However, it doesn’t work with the Mustang Dark Horse … yet. There’s a Dark Horse-specific kit coming soon, according to Ford.
If you’re thinking “Big whoop, tuning shops have been supercharging Mustangs forever,” you’d be right, but Ford’s kit does have an advantage: a warranty. If the Ford Performance kit is installed at a dealer or ASE-certified shop, it comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty and is CARB compliant. Ford is making it easier than ever to supercharge your Mustang and gain supercar levels of power.
