Default 2011 Mustang V6 - 4 stage upgrade

American Muscle took a stock 2011 V6 Mustang and filmed 4 stages of after market installs on it taking it from 300+ hp and a 14+ sec drag to a 400+ hp and 12+ sec drag. I kinda laughed as they put on exterior mods but in the end I think it turned out looking and sounding damn nice.

You think we could talk AM into giving it away as a contest car????

Whipple doesn't make a V6 kit. I'm a big fan of positive displacement blowers, too. However, this ProCharger kit kicks ***. Even if there was a Whipple kit, at this point I'd probably still go with the ProCharger.

So in the end what was the final cost of the 4 stage upgrade? And did you use stuff all from American Muscle?

hrmmm....that would be a cool idea to raffle it off, or something. How does keeping what you have now and winning ours for, say, $50 sound!?

Every stage and ever product on the car is available through our website. Cost is tricky and dependent upon where you live and what labor rates are like in your area. We had one of our techs here at the company install it, so obviously that is much cheaper than say $100/hour for installation. A good rule of thumb is that installation costs will normally be 1/4-1/2 the cost of the parts you are installing.

The supercharger kit can be found here: http://muscle.am/nS4ua8 though

Nobody did an M112 3.8L kit at first either.
