Ford has announced new dealer-installed performance packages for the 2026 Ford F-150 and Ford Mustang models equipped with the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine. Developed in collaboration with Whipple Superchargers, the packages include a 3.0-liter supercharger, upgraded components, and custom tuning to boost power significantly.

Why it matters

These factory-backed upgrades provide Ford enthusiasts with an affordable way to get more power from their V-8 models, without voiding the manufacturer's warranty. The packages are aimed at customers who want more performance than the standard factory offerings.

The details

The F-150 package includes the 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, a dual-pass intercooler, and a custom calibration, delivering 700 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The Mustang package is even more potent, with the same 3.0-liter supercharger plus a 92mm throttle body, Shelby GT500 fuel injectors, and colder spark plugs, resulting in 810 hp and 615 lb-ft. Both packages are compatible with 2026 and earlier model year vehicles, though they are not CARB-approved for the newest 2026 models.

  • The new performance packages were announced on March 3, 2026.
