Can the PP2 be tuned via a Ford Tune (or insert any respectable aftermarket tuner here) to extract another 20-40HP? Or would it also need an intake and TB upgrade?

I was off a bit, hubcap Haven has them for $389ea. Still well under new price.
You might want to try that again. They advertise them, but they don't have them in stock. Cheapest I've ever found was Tasca at $677 for the 19x10.5 and $689 for the 19x11.

They had 2 of them in stock last week when I was looking for them. I'm still deciding on SVE or just Rear BULLITTS for the front. If I change wheels I'm going with the lighter version.

Any Mustang can. Ford's unlikely to release an official Performance Package for the 18+ though unless its based on parts from the GT500, which is as I said, unlikely.

It's technically not a part of the Ford Performance portfolio but rather a variant of the GT. Personally, I think it's quite necessary for those who like GT variants :)
Well, learn something every day. I thought the Bullitt was low man on the totem pole in the FP lineup.

You might want to be cautious of what they have. Their fine print says sometimes they may provide OE replicas which are not necessarily OEM. The pic they have showing for the 19x11 is not OEM as you can tell by the placement of the valve stem. Though it could be just a pic of the 19x10.5 for both.

PP2 is just like the PP1. A 93oct tune alone from Lund or PBD would give you an extra 20whp. Go E85, and you are looking at 40-50whp more.

I would choose neither. No 10r80, no care. “Oh, but it’s so engaging!”

Hold on to that feeling as I gap you.

Faster doesn't = funner.

Last car I had was 440WHP AWD and MIND NUMBINGLY BORING... less than 1yr later I traded it for a slower 6spd and have 0 regrets.

That’s subjective. Maybe faster=more fun to ME!

Gapped, you’d get.

Gapped me on the straight.

Gapped you in the turns.

Do you really have more fun going in a straight line? I guess there isn't as much of a challenge there, huh?

Yes you can "build" a PP2 with parts. But the tuning of the suspension, ABS, etc won't be there. Does that matter? Probably not but it isn't as simple as throwing on a splitter and some wheels and having a clone.
Is the PP2 package not available on the Bullitt Mustang ? I was considering getting a Bullitt with the PP2 option If I could.
If you can get the Bullitt with Magneride you can upgrade to PP2 levels (or higher) of performance with this: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9602-M including tuning for the Magneride.

PP2 all day 'er day!! got over 11k miles on it now and DD it. been through torrential downpours and flooding with my 305/325 4S combo and its perfectly fine. rutted roads are no different to me than if you had any other car. shit roads are shit roads no matter what you drive. normal mode is smoother than my g35x sedan was.

get a bullitt if you like green and fancy badges. get a pp2 if you like to drive

We went with the PP2 because I wanted a car I could drive that wouldn't get too much attention, especially when I was blasting down back roads. And if it was good fun on a road course, all the better.
