Almost any V8-powered seventh-generation Mustang can be fitted with the new supercharger, meaning that every drift-happy Mustang owner will soon have more power than a [McLaren 750S](). The supercharger in question is a 3.0-liter, sixth-gen Whipple twin-screw supercharger, and the kit comes with a few extra upgrades. For example, it also gets a new oversized heat exchanger and high-flow intercooler pump, billet high-flow fuel rails, a new 92 mm throttle body, 120 mm dual air intake system, new high-flow dual-beam fuel injectors, dual high-flow fuel filters, and a Tomahawk V2 flash tool. The kit works for all 5.0-liter Mustang GT models, regardless of transmission. However, it doesn't work with the [Mustang Dark Horse]() ... yet. There's a Dark Horse-specific kit coming soon, according to Ford. ![]() **Ford** ![]() **Ford** ![]() **Ford** If you're thinking "Big whoop, tuning shops have been supercharging Mustangs forever," you'd be right, but Ford's kit does have an advantage: a warranty. If the Ford Performance kit is installed at a dealer or ASE-certified shop, it comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty and is CARB compliant. Ford is making it easier than ever to supercharge your Mustang and gain supercar levels of power. Factory-backed upgrades like this aren't new, but this is one of the most extreme power bumps from what is essentially a dealer-installed upgrade I've ever seen. The stock Mustang GT makes 480 hp stock (486 with the performance pack), which means this new kit will *almost* double that. There's no word on cost just yet, or when it will be available, but to some enthusiasts this will certainly be an upgrade worth every penny. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
