Episode Details

Good news for anyone with a Coyote V8-powered Ford F-150 or Mustang, including the Lobo and Dark Horse: Ford is offering factory-supported supercharger kits for 2026 models equipped with the 5.0-liter V8. Developed alongside the experts at Whipple Superchargers, whose customers are already big fans of supercharging the Blue Oval's products, the Ford F-150 kit boosts output to 700 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, while the Mustang GT and Dark Horse can go as high as 810 hp and 615 lb-ft when they have the active valve exhaust (800 ponies with the standard exhaust setup). These numbers are achieved on 91+ octane. Best of all, the kits won't hurt your warranty.

Ford says the kits have been engineered to be durable over 100,000 miles, though the Ford Racing Parts warranty offered with the kit is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Moreover, the kits are 50-state CARB-certified, so they'll be legal wherever in the country you live. Whether for the F-150 or a Mustang, the kits cost $10,500 each and include a Gen 6 3.0-liter Whipple twin-screw supercharger, a dual-pass intercooler, a 92-mm throttle body, colder spark plugs, GT500 port fuel injectors, and a Tomahawk calibration delivery tool with Ford Racing Parts settings. It's pretty much the same as the kit revealed in 2024, but adding it to the F-150 is sure to be popular. Hopefully, this kit won't have any problems, as a recall in October 2025 targeted Ford's own supercharger kits for disabling essential safety features.
