Stock 3.7 strong enough for procharger kit?

Hello all,
I have a 2012 Mustang v6 with the 6spd manual. I am looking at the 475hp procharger kit and was wondering if the stock internal parts are strong enough for the added hp. I don't beat on my car but was just wondering what the guys with the prochargers could tell me and what if anything I would need to upgrade before installing. Thanks in advance! Justin

Welcome to the forum!

475 HP should be fine, even at the rear wheels. Procharger like to quote crank adjusted values, but even so, it would make for a stout V6.

Anecdotally, the 3.7L V6 has gotten up over 500 HP...the limit looks like it's around 525-550. At that level the bottom end gets a little weak.

Wish they could get a 2013 kit together....I'd be on it yesterday!

One word: electronics. New ECM in 2013 means that someone has to get in there and get it right again. As you'll see in Stretchy00's thread in this section of the forum, if the tune isn't right it's just not a lot of fun. But I DO think they will get it...eventually...
