Depends on the stage you purchase and who is doing the installation.
I would say, including installation, you are looking at 10~12k total. That is my guestimate.
Ford was having a 1k off sale on the Whipple Superchargers.
So, some updates to my build.
1. Upgraded to a stage 2 Whipple. 112mm TB and a 3.75 pulley.
2. Installed Kooks 1-7/8 Long Tube Headers, with the performance 3' connection pipes, along with a Corsa resonated double H pipe.
3. Installed billet OPG/CSS
4. Tuned by Shoemaker Performance.
In...
@Octane1 : See my thread on my build.

I understand it is not for everyone, but you can get an idea of the path I took. As I mentioned earlier, a DHSC will be warrantied, and it will be a sign-and-drive. I set...
Interesting. So my opinion on your matter.
1. FP800S: GT with a Ford Performance Whipple installed. From an article I read, it has a different suspension setup that is not available on regular GTs, and a few other bits. Has a warranty.
2. Shelby GT350: It is a GT that is changed by SOA. Stage...
I guess it depends on the car culture and what shows. Here, car culture is a huge thing. Multiple shows, big and small, for all types of vehicles. Classic shows, Truck shows, Bike shows, Super car/Exoctic shows. Also, car meet hangouts.
You just need to pick a show you want to go to. Shows in...
Looks good!
Would also like to know about the tower brace. Is it functional or more of a "looks" brace? I have also read that the brace will not fit.
As of this thread, I have moved to stage two Whipple setup, and am installing Kooks headers, the performance connection pipes, and a Corsa...
I really like this setup. Thanks for adding the links. I wanted to do something like this; I did not want to pay the expensive mod that had you cut the panel from FatHouse. Also, the Whipple Supercharged is a nice touch. I have Mustang in 3D vinyl in the Red White Blue setup.
This is a nice...
I have not done this, going ctaless on the stock headers, but I would say you would receive an error without a tune to handle the O2s
It has been said you can purchase some type of O2 delete device? But I have not pursued that option.
I will tell you, if you decide to get boosted, Steeda's Stop the hop kit is a worthy investment. That, with my other suspension enhancements, plants my vehicle to the pavement. No tire hop, no bouncing around, no swerving to the left, just plant and track forward.
I think that the S650 will continue on, but the Darkhorse will end with the DHSC. There had been a rumor that the DH was only going to be a 2 year run.
Will 2027 see a different style of special Mustang?
My first vehicle was a 4spd Datsun B-210. Then I went in a we had Jeeps! So yeah, 'grind it to you find it' was how I learned.
I use it. Yes, I know how to do it myself, but why? Also, it sounds glorious. With my new setup, it will be even more so!
Lastly, being new to tracking, I have enough...
Ok. I am boosted on a now stage two Whipple kit. Some information for you base on what I have done to my vehicle.
1. A tune and header setup on 93 would not be a bad thing; it will not make big power, but it will sound amazing. The tune from Ford is already aggressive on the Gen 4 5.0, I would...
Hmmm....I have a long list of mods.....all were done to setup the car to drive well on the street and be a monster on the track.
So....
1. Stop the Hop - Steeda, along with a myriad of other Steeda suspension mods. Really plants the car, gives great confidence that the vehicle will track...
Braided brake lines on a DH will improve the pedal feel and performance. You will notice it mostly if you track your vehicle. Along with upgraded pads, I had to adjust to how firm the pedal became and the stopping distance.
Running the Steeda kit.
I would not worry about what some will say about your purchase. Many will go on about how you paid extra for blah blah blah, and that you can buy this, and put that, and be better off. You purchase a vehicle YOU wanted. Also, your Shelby will keep value because it's a SOA-serialized vehicle.
If...
@ZXMustang : Interesting. Keep the info coming. When I first came over to the S650, I saw this blower on a vehicle and wondered what it was. I thought the dual intake was cool.
Good to hear that you are able to pull power out and set it to its full potential. Most likely, like the Whipple...
The Stage 1 Whipple tune is designed for your setup. Stock CATS and stock gears. The tune is made for you not to overshift to hit the rev limiter, and has protection for the CAT setup. This is why Ford warranties it, but the funny thing, at least from what I have heard, if you blow the CATS...
