Ford’s New Supercharger Kit Juices V-8 Mustangs to 810 hp

In the world of muscle cars, more is always better, especially when it comes to power. Ford Performance Parts just announced a new supercharger kit for Mustangs equipped with the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 that will juice the output of the engine to 810 hp and 615 lb-ft of torque.

The supercharger kit, which costs $9995 and carries part number M-6066-M8800 on the Ford Performance Parts website, consists of the following: A 3.0-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharger, dual-pass intercooler, 92mm throttle body, colder spark plugs, port fuel injectors from the Shelby GT500, a Ford Performance exclusive tune, and the Tomahawk calibration delivery tool.

Worth noting: The power figures provided by Ford are for Mustang GTs and Mustang Dark Horses equipped with active exhaust; without that option, which comes standard on Dark Horse but is a $1225 option on the GT, your power will be down 10 hp, to a mere 800. Unsurprisingly, adding this blower also requires you to run premium (91+ octane) fuel.

Still, those figures are a big step up from the stock performance numbers. Sans supercharger kit, a Mustang GT pushes 480 hp and 415 lb-ft (or 486 hp and 418 lb-ft with the fancy exhaust), so we’re talking gains of 320 to 324 hp and around 200 more lb-ft of torque. The Dark Horse manages 500 hp from its V-8, making this package worth an extra 310 hp. Just shy of 10-large to gain around 40 percent more power? Seems like a steal to us.

Unfortunately, the package won’t be legal in California. As for the other 49 states, have at it—and keep it between the mayo and the mustard, please.
