Imagine thundering down the highway, the roar of your engine harmonizing with your racing heart. This isn't just any fantasy; it's the reality Ford promises with its latest innovation for Mustang enthusiasts. Tapping into the realm of muscle car dreams, Ford Performance Parts unveils a supercharger kit destined to redefine the Mustang experience, elevating the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 to an exhilarating 810 hp and 615 lb-ft of torque.
What’s in the Box?
The magic box priced at $9995 (part number M-6066-M8800) is not just any addition. It's a treasure trove, comprising a 3.0-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharger, a dual-pass intercooler, a substantial 92mm throttle body, colder spark plugs, robust port fuel injectors from the heralded Shelby GT500, accompanied by a Ford Performance exclusive tune and the cutting-edge Tomahawk calibration delivery tool.
Power Surges Beyond Belief
But here's where it gets really interesting. The kit propels the Mustang GT and Mustang Dark Horses from great to extraordinary. With active exhaust, your steed leaps to 810 hp. Opt out, and you're still commanding a formidable 800 hp. It's worth mentioning that this monumental boost in power demands premium fuel to ignite its full potential.
The Numbers Game
Let's talk numbers, shall we? The stock Mustang GT, sans supercharger kit, flexes with 480 hp and 415 lb-ft (or 486 hp and 418 lb-ft with the 'fancy' exhaust). Enter Ford's supercharger kit, and you witness gains skyrocketing to 320-324 hp with an additional 200 lb-ft of torque approximately. For the Dark Horse variant, expect a surge of 310 extra horsepower. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformation, offering a nearly 40% increase in power, all for just shy of $10,000. A bargain, if you're a true power aficionado.
Availability: The Catch
However, there's a caveat for Californians; this package doesn't clear the legal hurdles in the Golden State. As for the rest of America, the road beckons.
In conclusion, Ford's supercharger kit isn't merely an addition to the Mustang; it's an invitation to own the roads with unparalleled power and performance. For those with a thirst for adrenaline and a love for muscle cars, this is your clarion call.
