Ford Racing develops supercharger upgrade for new Mustang

+ Time to lay down some rubber

The new 2011 Ford Mustang has sparked our interest since it was first announced. Both the V6 and V8 versions look great, with the V6 trim offering great performance at a low price, and the V8 edition just being a plain old beast. The Mustang GT, with its 5.0 liter V8 akin to its older Fox-body brother, just got even more attractive with an announcement that Ford Racing will be selling supercharger upgrades for the engine.

The aftermarket supercharger will be a 2.3 liter Whipple twin-screw unit with an air to liquid intercooler.The base upgrade will provide 525 HP / 470 lb-ft of torque , and amazingly enough will come with a 1 year / 12,000 mile warranty. The more advanced kit will offer 624 hp / 536 lb-ft of torque, which will make your Mustang a complete monster.
