Exciting news for Mustang enthusiasts! Ford Performance has unveiled a supercharger upgrade kit for the 2024 Ford Mustang, promising to transform the stock V8’s 480 horsepower into a jaw-dropping 800 horses. With this remarkable power boost, almost any V8-powered seventh-generation Mustang can be fitted with the new supercharger, putting the thrill of supercar-level performance within reach of every Mustang owner.
The Whipple Twin-Screw Supercharger
At the heart of this exhilarating upgrade is a 3.0-liter, sixth-gen Whipple twin-screw supercharger, renowned for its performance-enhancing capabilities. The kit goes beyond the supercharger itself, offering a comprehensive package of enhancements to ensure a harmonious power increase.
Complete Upgrade Package
The supercharger kit includes several additional components and modifications:
- An oversized heat exchanger and high-flow intercooler pump for optimal cooling.
- Billet high-flow fuel rails to ensure the engine gets all the fuel it needs.
- A new 92 mm throttle body to improve airflow.
- A 120 mm dual air intake system for enhanced air delivery.
- New high-flow dual-beam fuel injectors for precise fuel delivery.
- Dual high-flow fuel filters for added fuel system durability.
- The Tomahawk V2 flash tool to fine-tune engine performance.
Compatibility and Warranty
This impressive kit is designed to work with all 5.0-liter Mustang GT models, regardless of their transmission type. However, it’s important to note that it is not compatible with the Mustang Dark Horse, but Ford promises a Dark Horse-specific kit is in the works.
What sets this Ford Performance upgrade apart from many aftermarket alternatives is the inclusion of a warranty. When the kit is installed at an authorized Ford dealer or an ASE-certified shop, it comes with a generous three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Moreover, it complies with CARB (California Air Resources Board) regulations, making it a legal and environmentally conscious choice for power-hungry Mustang owners.
Conclusion
While factory-backed performance upgrades are not new, this Ford Performance kit stands out for its extreme power bump. The base Mustang GT already delivers 480 hp (or 486 hp with the performance pack), and this kit almost doubles that figure. Though the cost and availability details are yet to be announced, the promise of supercar-level power and the added peace of mind from the warranty make this an enticing option for passionate Mustang enthusiasts.
