    2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – VMP Gen3R TVS 2650 Supercharger

     

     

     
    For its time, the 2007-2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 was an absolute game changer. 500hp Eaton M122 (1.99liter) supercharged Condor 5.4L Modular engine, strong Tremec TR-6060 6-speed transmission, all on the proven S197 platform. But fast forward 15 years later, and while it’s still nothing to thumb your nose at, it doesn’t quite stack up as strongly as it used to. Thankfully, the solution is rather straightforward: modernize the supercharger and supporting systems!

    And that’s exactly what our Stage-5 Package is designed to deliver. Package contents below:

    • VMP Performance Gen3R TVS 2650 supercharger
    • VMP Performance Twinjet twin-69mm throttle body
    • VMP Performance 2.80″ upper supercharger pulley
    • VMP Performance dual fuel pump voltage boosters
    • VMP Performance upgraded intercooler pump
    • VMP Performance OE-appearance intercooler reservoir
    • AFCO Racing dual-pass heat exchanger
    • OEM 2013-2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 twin-disc clutch & flywheel assembly
    • American Racing Headers 1.875″ primary ID long-tube headers with high-flow catalytic converters
    • JLT Performance 123mm Big Air intake system
    • J&L Oil Separator Co. air-oil separator
    • Reische Performance 170° thermostat
    • DeatschWerks 95lb/hr fuel injectors
    • NGK Spark Plugs TR7IX spark plugs
    • Custom calibration via HP Tuners
    This customer had a goal of breaking into the 700whp range on 93 octane, and needless to say, that goal was smashed with results coming in at 732whp & 670lbft! With a baseline of 449whp & 444lbft, that puts our peak gains at 283whp & 226lbft! This package delivers modern output with the OEM-like drivability needed for the daily commute. Absolutely transformative performance.
     

  • 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – 800whp

    2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – 800whp

     

    800whp+ with just an intake and a calibration on 93 octane… Seriously, what’s not to love about the 2020+ Ford Mustang Shelby GT500?

    For a sub-$100K production car, this powertrain in stock form is arguably one of the most potent of all time. Factory equipped Eaton TVS 2650 supercharger, 5.2L Predator engine which can turn to damn near 9,000rpm without breaking a sweat, and a powertrain proven to handle 1,100whp+ in 100% factory form, with essentially just bolt-on modifications. Brand loyalties aside, I think we can all agree that’s impressive.

    While these cars normally lay down between 640-700whp in 100% stock form (depending on whether or not catalyst protection is active), you can see the impact that just our Stage-1 package has. Even crazier, is that there’s even more on the table, as the customer requested we keep the rev limiter below 8,000rpm. Again, absolutely insane.

    Modifications performed to this vehicle below:

    • JLT Performance air-intake system
    • Ford Performance air-oil separator
    • Custom calibration by Vlad via HP Tuners

    We are truly living in the Golden Era of Internal Combustion Engines.
