When Ford Performance released its FP800S kit at the SEMA show, it made the 2024 Mustang a contender for, well, a version of its former self. The Camaro was gone, and Dodge was deviating from its internal combustion roots. Yet, here was Ford Performance, offering a post-title supercharger kit that not only kept the corporate carbon footprint minimized, but also unleashed an eruption of at least 800 horsepower when you mashed the skinny pedal, ready to lunge into battle.
The power isn’t for the faint of heart, but then again, neither was the 2020-2022 Shelby GT500. Here is the breakdown of what is included with the kit and how you can make your FP800S-equipped 2024 Mustang into a formidable foe on and off the track with more horsepower than the final GT500 iteration.
Supercharger Kit
It’s no secret that Ford Performance and Whipple Superchargers have teamed up for multiple research and development projects in recent times. The duo has enticed horsepower-hungry Ford fans with both the Ford Performance FP700 kit, utilizing the Gen-5 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger for the F-150, and now the FP800S kit, which uses Whipple’s latest Gen-6 3.0-liter supercharger for the Gen-4 Coyote-powered 2024 Mustang.
The FP800S package will not only include the supercharger unit, but also features heavily developed dual intake piping. This design allows the supercharger to utilize dual filters, effectively doubling the air filter surface intake area. The supercharger comes standard with a 92mm throttle body sourced from the aforementioned Shelby GT500. The tuning, a collaborative effort between Ford and Whipple engineers, ensures a smooth powerband, elevating the Coyote’s output from 480 horsepower to a massive 800.
Engine And Drivetrain
While there is no need to modify your factory-sealed Coyote engine, the FP800S kit includes a Ford Performance oil separator. Initially featured on the GT500 carbon-fiber track and handling packages, the Ford Performance oil separator prevents oil vapor from entering the intake system or, inevitably, finding its way into the intercooler. This leads to a cleaner intake tract and a better-performing engine.
Although the S650 Mustang is capable of much more than straight-line racing, it’s hard to imagine any Mustang not excelling at the dragstrip. To fortify the axles for launch time, the FP800S kit comes with an axle half-shaft upgrade.
