Ford is no stranger to offering a giant supercharger as an aftermarket upgrade for its cars. It has been selling a 700-horsepower kit for 5-liter F150 pickups for a couple of years now, and a similar [but less powerful] kit was available for the S550-generation Mustang. Now Ford Performance has brought that same bonkers power mentality to the standard run-of-the-mill S650-generation Mustang GT. At the SEMA show this week in Las Vegas, Ford pulled the covers off of a new supercharger package imbuing Dearborn’s sports car with 800 horsepower. It comes with a factory warranty, and it’s even 50-state emissions legal.

According to Ford, this kit will work on both automatic and manual-equipped S650 Mustang GTs. It’s not yet available for Dark Horse customers, but a separate Ford Performance supercharger package will be available for that car soon. The FP800S power package will give your five-liter-heater a 3.0-liter twin-screw Whipple supercharger, and supplementary components like a bigger throttle body, larger fuel injectors, an intercooler, and flash software to run it all.
