Ford Performance has finally revealed the pricing details and specifics of the supercharger kit that’ll bump the 2024 Ford Mustang’s output to a whopping 810 horsepower. The supercharger kit will cost $9,995 and can be fitted to the Mustang GT and Dark Horse, which are powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine. Full power increases depend on whether the Mustang has an active exhaust system or not, but the supercharger kit’s output doesn’t dip below 800 horses, all told.
That makes the combined sticker price of the supercharger kit and Mustang with a V8 seem like a bargain. The carmaker-approved supercharger is likely the cheapest way to make over 800 HP without spending an outrageous amount of money, relatively speaking. Call it cost effective, if you will, considering a previous version of the supercharger for the Ford F-150 debuted at a price of $12,000 while making 700 HP. The F-150's supercharger has since gone down in price, but still “only” yields 700 horses.
The mighty Coyote V8 in the Mustang lacks forced induction off the showroom floor but still makes a generous amount of power. The 2024 Mustang GT makes 486 HP and 418 lb-ft of torque when naturally aspirated. The Dark Horse raises that number to 500 HP while keeping the torque at 418 lb-ft. Once this new supercharger is installed, however, the power figures go up to 810 HP at 7,500 RPM and 615 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 RPM. These figures rely on premium fuel, or gasoline with an octane rating over 91.

This is the max output cited by Ford Performance, but it only applies to new Mustangs with active exhaust. If a Mustang lacks the active exhaust system, the supercharger will still come with a generous power bump to 800 HP, or just 10 fewer horses. Either way, owners are looking at a power bump easily over 300 HP and about an extra 200 lb-ft of torque for under $10,000. For reference, the Mustang Dark Horse starts just over $58,000, so a supercharged model would start somewhere around $68,000. The Mustang GT starts just under $42,000, meaning that the price of the supercharger kit would raise the price to $52,000 — before factoring in the cost of installation, of course.
The supercharger kit can be installed on new Mustangs with a V8 regardless of transmission type: both the six-speed manual and 10-speed automatic are compatible. The supercharger comes with a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty as long as it’s installed by an ASE-certified technician or at a Ford dealer. The kit’s official part number is M-6066-M8800, and it includes the 3.0-liter twin-screw Whipple Supercharger with dual-pass intercooler and dual-air intake with a 92-mm throttle body. It also requires GT500 port fuel injectors and colder spark plugs, which are all included. This is capped off with an engine tune that the carmaker calls an exclusive “Ford Performance calibration.”
The final caveat is that the supercharger kit is only 49-state legal, and will not be legal in California, likely due to the Golden State’s stricter regulation on emissions. Ford itself claims the supercharger “does not have an adverse effect on emissions when installed and used properly,” but it does not have regulatory approval for use in California.
