Ford Performance takes a firm step in the performance upgrades market with factory-developed supercharger kits. For the Mustang GT and Dark Horse (2024-2026) and for the F-150 with 5.0 V8 (2021-2026), they offer a power upgrade backed by a warranty. Installation by a certified technician is key to maintaining the 3-year or 36,000-mile coverage.
The technical key: Whipple compressor and integrated calibration 🛠️
The heart of the kit is a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger with twelve lobes, providing dense and cold airflow. The system includes all necessary hardware, such as a high-flow intercooler, higher-capacity fuel injectors, and a new fuel pump. The engine control unit is reprogrammed with a specific Ford Performance calibration to manage the mixture and ignition, achieving 810 HP in the Mustang and 700 HP in the F-150 with 93-octane fuel.
Factory warranty for your (lack of) power problem ⚠️
It's a relief to know that, after adding hundreds of horsepower to a production engine, you can still enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a warranty. Just remember that the workshop manual and your cousin Manolo with his flea market tools do not count as a certified technician. That said, California residents: they'll have to settle for the pure V8 sound, without this guaranteed whistle.
