The 2024 Ford Mustang is now available with a new supercharger kit courtesy of Ford Performance.
With the regular 5.0-liter V-8, Ford claims the kit will raise horsepower from 480 to up to 810 ponies and provide 615 pound-feet of torque.
The supercharger debuted on the Ford Mustang FP800S concept, which previewed the package that's now on sale for $9995.
UPDATE 3/18/24: Ford Performance has released a new $9995 supercharger kit for the 2024 Mustang GT and Dark Horse models. The package increases the 5.0-liter V-8's output to 810 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque. The higher hp figure requires the Mustang's optional active exhaust system; without it, the kit unlocks 800 ponies. Along with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, the Ford Performance package includes a 92 mm throttle body and port fuel injectors from the Mustang GT500. Ford Performance says the supercharger kit is legal in all U.S. states except for California.
Just because Dodge isn't building any more V-8 Hellcats doesn't mean Ford isn't interested in making new Mustangs with 800-plus horsepower. That's what's on the menu with the new Ford Performance supercharger kit, which debuts on the Ford Mustang FP800S concept at this year's SEMA show.
Supercharged 5.0
The Mustang's naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 is good for 480 horses off the showroom floor. That figure rises to at least 800 horses with the Whipple 3.0-liter supercharger, which also comes with obligatory upgrades to the air and fuel systems. Ford says the kit is compatible with the automatic and manual transmission, and the company says a version that's specially designed for the Mustang Dark Horse is also on the way.
