Ford Performance supercharger kit gets Mustang 810 hp with a warranty

After watching heaps of tuners, as well as dealers like Beechmont Ford Performance, supercharge their profits by supercharging Coyote engines, the factory is increasingly getting in on the deals. Last summer, Ford Performance created the FP700 package for the F-150 for dealer showrooms, bolting a 3.0-liter Whipple Supercharger to the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 to create a pickup with 700 horsepower and 599 pound-feet of torque along with a host of visual upgrades. Now, after unveiling an even more potent supercharger package at SEMA last year for the new Mustang GT and Dark Horse, the performance outpost is ready for retail sales. The sweetener is called the 2024 Mustang GT and Dark Horse Supercharger Kit, and it bestows 800 hp on a GT or Dark Horse without active exhaust, or an even sweeter 810 hp with the active exhaust. Torque climbs to 615 pound-feet, fancy pipes or no, making this compatible with the six-speed manual or the ten-speed automatic.

The figures demolish stock outputs, a 2024 Mustang GT on the showroom floor making 486 hp and 418 lb-ft. of torque, the Dark Horse upping that to 500 hp and 418 lb-ft.

This is the kind of inflation we like to see. As expected, the inflationary pressure comes from Whipple, a Gen 6 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharger working with a dual-pass intercooler. Ford Performance says the kit also includes a dual-air intake leading to a 92-mm throttle body, new, more robust spark plugs with a colder heat range than the stock plugs, port fuel injectors from the GT500, and a Tomahawk calibration tool to ensure the proper tune. The Mustang show car that Ford used for the reveal at SEMA also fitted ancillaries like a new fuel rail and new half shafts, two items that should definitely be in the budget when adding this much power.
