Building a 2025 mustang gt s650 - recommendations?

[Jayyfrmva]

Hello everyone!! I’m new to the group and have to figure out how to navigate through this so I apologize in advance if I’ve asked a question that’s been asked a thousand times. I currently have a 2025 Mustang GT 10sp(non active)and looking to upgrade/mod. If anyone could help out in recommendations and websites to obtain spoilers,brakes, lowering springs, and anything that will produce more hp. The only upgrade I’ve done so far was a corsa exhaust system. It’s not my every day driver however from time to time I do travel 9 hours to other states. Any knowledge helps thanks!!

Only way to really gain HP will be E85 tune, headers or boost.

what’s your end goal and work your way back.

My end goal overall is to produce at least 700hp…atleast but gap a few cars here and there for fun. I don’t drive it often however I want to start taking it to the track and just do pulls on some days that I’ll drive it

.....or turbo or supercharging. It usually all boils-down to $$$$$.

The afore statement about money is true. And it isn't just a few bolt-on parts either. In the long run, it is better to put the money in the up-front purchase rather than trying to built a Dark Horse out of a non Premium GT. The reasons are numerous and should be obvious as well.

Skip everything power wise and just get an ESS kit. Save all that money you would waste on intakes and ported nonsense. The headers will be a help no matter what, but aside from those, a tune and boost, these are not NA mod friendly cars to anything meaningful past 500 rear wheel hp.

Just buy a Whipple and get it over with

You are not going to get 700 at the crank, let alone the wheels without a whole lot of machine work and parts that don't exist yet, so if you want to go fast, drop the 13 grand or so it is going to take to get a Whipple installed with catch cans and maybe even upgraded oiling and a crank snout

There is no magic tune for these cars, every tuner out there has tried and gotten very little out of a 93 octane tune, although some have gotten some gains on E85, and E30 or E40 tunes.

It is pretty much agreed that Ford has gotten just about everything there is to get out of these engines, short of supercharging them, and they only support that option in the aftermarket thru Ford Performance, Whipple, and to a lesser extent ROUSH who are not going as close to the edge as FP and Whipple are.

With the right driver and tires this car is already capable of 12.2 1/4 mile times right off the lot.

Steeda has a 2024 Mustang with a bunch of go fast parts on it and they are running low 10 seconds in ideal conditions. Speed costs money, how much do you have?

Honestly, you are wasting your money in two ways. First 700 hp is just a bragging right. In most cases the investment will not put a $10K smile on your face only a hole in your wallet. Secondly, after you put this enhancement on the car you have killed your resale value. I wouldn't buy the car since I know it has been hammered! Will the car be reliable in the end? Do you have the cash flow to fix what you break? Is the car financed? If so, you are digging a very deep hole.
You should have bought a used HELLCAT if you wanted 700 HP.
Don't let dreams and emotions deny you from having a great car that with over 480 hp as stock will give you all the fun you need.

I agree things can be pricey however I asked because I’m looking for recommendations on how to upgrade this vehicle…I’m not hurting for money in fact I’m well off nor am I looking to sell this vehicle… this is just a vehicle for fun… I also agree it is a bragging right but overall I’m looking to have fun with this vehicle. Hellcats are cool and I definitely could’ve gotten one however that’s not what I wanted. It would feel better to build something

Honestly at the time I bought the vehicle there were only 5.0 base models that didn’t require me to go hours south of me. Also brand new for the price I just pulled the plug. I see what you’re saying though
