Curious about this platforms power potential

[Randomizer23]

I have a couple questions that need to be answered, first of all I have a goal of making 800-900whp. What is cheaper turbo(s) or a supercharger? Which of those two will have more headroom if I ever decide I want more. What is the approximate cost to build the engine to this power? Not including suspension mods to actually put the power down. I am looking into buying this platform and am curious what generation of the coyote motor is best suited for my needs. Obviously the newer ones cost more so maybe its more economical to go with an older coyote. Again, don't know anything about this platform, what are the stock motor limits for each gen? Do I need a built motor? At what power level will I need one?

Great platform, plenty of build threads to look at.

I'd say get the current Gen motor and an extra $15K or so to get you 900 wheel that is useable.

Is 900whp okay for stock motor? What about if I were to look at the second gen coyote motors the 2015 variant? How much am i looking at there? Turbo or Sc?

Gen 3 definitely. Anything over 750 or so at the wheel is going to be a gamble. You will probably need to upgrade other drivetrain parts too. Then there is the transmission to think about.

It's going to cost no matter what and trying to hit 900 wheel on a small budget isn't really going to happen.

Why 900??

I know it will cost me to hit the number but some platforms are more efficient than others right? Every time I ask on forums I am always pointed to mustangs or vettes. These motors cost less than imports correct? Should I get a manual or an auto? What can the auto withstand?

I don't mean to be rude, but you are not ready for a 900 HP car. All the information you seek is out there and you need to put in the effort to at least understand the basics. We can't efficiently teach you all that here. Search the forums here for build threads, take notes, and then come back and ask pointed, specific questions.

10 speed 2018+ Feed it e85 with a whipple or twin turbo kit run 9s easily.

Plenty of other boost options too.

Ive has 3 S550 gen Mustangs and 2 were 10 speeds.

Go drive a 10 speed car. The hype is real.
