How much power are you looking to add? You can do bolt on parts like an x or h-pipe, axle back, CAI, suspension work (to help apply all of the power that your car makes to the ground) and a tune.

I know you said you want to stay away from E85, but it will net you your biggest gains when coupled with a good tune. Pay once and get 93 and E85 tunes. Even if you didn’t intend to run E85 regularly, the tune would be there when you wanted to go max effort. If you don’t tune for it when you tune for a 93 tune and decide later that you do want it, you will have to pay the man again.

It's either E85 or boost if you want real gains. I guess there's always the Ford Performance Power pack, but that mostly improves low end torque and drivability versus outright top end power. That would probably tick your boxes though.

Long tubes, CAI and a 93 tune would give you somewhat of a feel but nothing crazy.

You can get a mild supercharger setup that will be reliable on your stock engine, but not sure if that's in your budget. Other than that, not much without going into the engine or E85.

Alright so going to assume to get a e85 and 93 tune I would have to take it to someone nothing that I can buy? If i went with a mild supercharger any recommendations on that? Also I have CAI and Longtube headers already still stock the rest of the way back. The suspension is the dampening suspension that you can buy extra for from Ford. Is there really worth doing somrthing diffrent?

You don’t have to take the car to anyone to tune for 93 and E85. You just have to choose a company to tune the car for you (and the actual tuning device) and they will work with you to tune your car remotely.

Tell us how you intend to drive the car and we can help with recommendations to upgrade your suspension.

What company and tuning device do you recommend? If I was to go supercharger what mild supercharger would be the best with little internal work or none needed. Biggest thing is I have not found anything saying how much hourspower the stock motor can hold.

I uses Lund Racing and an nGauge, but the nGauge has been discontinued. If you look around a bit, you’ll find that there are still some for sale.

I haven’t owned a supercharged Mustang for many years now. I chose nitrous for my power adder on my 2019 Bullitt and it makes really good power (639 rwhp and 602 rwtq) on a 150 shot with E85. I think when you get up over 800 rwhp, your margin of reliability starts to diminish. There are several that have gone higher than that, but it gets riskier the higher you go.

I would be happy with close to 550 how much work would I have to do to get close or a little over that running 93? Would that require some internal work?

No internal work needed, but you will need a power adder of some sort and it will be very easy to do.

What's the "tamest" supercharger out there? The ford performance/roush one?
