You Can Now Supercharge Your Ford Mustang GT to 700 hp

About a year and a half ago, Ford announced plans to offer a Roush supercharger kit through Ford Performance. The supercharger would boost the Mustang GT’s output up to 700 hp and 610 lb-ft of torque, and since it was a Ford-approved part, it wouldn’t void your warranty. Sadly, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, the supercharger never materialized. Until now.

Ford recently announced that the supercharger is officially on sale. It costs $7,699 and can be ordered through Ford Performance. Even better, not only will it not void your warranty, if you have the supercharger installed by a Ford dealer or an ASE-certified technician, it comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty of its own. Since you’ll have to pay to have the supercharger installed, the whole thing will probably end up costing closer to $10,000, but we have a feeling it’s probably worth it for the peace of mind a warranty brings.

The kit includes a lot more than the supercharger assembly, too. It also comes with a lower intake manifold with a complete intercooler system, a larger 87-mm throttle body, fuel rails, upgraded fuel injectors, and a drive belt. It’s also CARB-legal, so you can turn your 2018 or 2019 Mustang GT into a 700-hp, sub-$50,000 Hellcat hunter no matter which state you live in. Since we’re based in California, we definitely appreciate that.

If you have a Bullitt, though, we have some bad news. Ford’s press release specifically mentions that the supercharger isn’t compatible with the Steve McQueen-inspired version of the Mustang.
