Supercharger Kit Elevates Ford's 2024 Mustang GT to a Minimum of 800 Horsepower

Gone are the days when achieving close to 800 horsepower necessitated substantial financial investment and the forfeiture of new-car warranties. Ford has decisively moved past that paradigm by recently introducing a supercharger kit for its 2024 Mustang GT. This new addition elevates the power output of the vehicle’s 5.0-liter V-8 engine from the standard 480 horsepower (or 486 horsepower when equipped with the optional active exhaust system) to a promised minimum of 800 horsepower. The final tuning process is underway, with the commercial release slated for 2024. The kit will be compatible with both automatic and manual transmission options.

Overview of Ford Mustang’s New Offering

Ford officially presented this supercharger kit at the 2023 SEMA show and it will join the continually growing Ford Performance Parts portfolio. The automaker has confirmed that the kit complies with its own Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) durability standards and comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty when installed by an authorized dealer or ASE-certified technician. Additionally, the kit will meet CARB compliance standards.

The kit itself is composed of a 3.0-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharger, a high-flow intercooler pump with an air-to-water intercooler and a large heat exchanger, as well as high-flow fuel injectors, billet high-flow fuel rails, a high-flow intake, and a 92-mm throttle body. A Tomahawk V2 flash tool is also included as part of the package.

Ford Performance FP800 Supercharger Kit

Earlier this year, Ford launched a similar but less potent supercharger kit, rated at 700 horsepower, for the F-150 model.

The newest supercharger kit will be available either as a standalone product or coupled with chassis enhancements under a separate package termed the FP800S kit. This additional package, previewed at the SEMA show with the Mustang FP800S concept vehicle, incorporates the aforementioned supercharger kit along with a half-shaft upgrade kit and a lowered suspension system. Optional add-ons include a Borla cat-back exhaust system and a selection of carbon-fiber aerodynamic components.

While the pricing details for both the supercharger and FP800S kits are yet to be released, it may be useful to note that a 750-horsepower supercharger kit for the earlier generation of Mustang GT starts at $8,500 through Ford Performance.

Ford also disclosed that it is in the process of developing a distinct supercharger kit for the Mustang Dark Horse, a variant featuring a slightly enhanced version of the 5.0-liter V-8 engine, known colloquially as the Coyote. Information regarding this Dark Horse-specific supercharger kit is expected to be made public in the near term.
