Herrod Performance, a well-known Australian tuner, has introduced a new power upgrade for the Ford Mustang, featuring official Ford Performance parts. This upgrade offers a significant boost in power, exceeding 600kW. Herrod Performance, recognized for enhancing Ford vehicles for many years and collaborating with Ford Australia on projects like the Mustang R-Spec, now provides the official Ford Performance supercharger kit for current-generation Mustang models.
This partnership marks a significant milestone as Herrod Performance has become the first entity in Australia to receive approval from the Australian Government to designate cars modified with their parts as ‘Herrod Performance Ford’ vehicles. This approval, known as a Vehicle Type Approval (VTA), allows these modified Mustangs to be registered as new cars in any state without the need for additional engineering approval.
The supercharger kit, priced at $29,000 for a standard Mustang GT, offers an impressive power increase. The centerpiece of the upgrade is a 3.0L Whipple supercharger that elevates the V8 engine’s output substantially. Along with the increased power, the kit includes enhancements to the exhaust and suspension systems. Notably, the original brakes and chassis of the Mustang remain unchanged as they are deemed capable of handling the additional power.
While Herrod Performance has previously offered supercharger kits for the Ford Mustang, this latest kit, developed in collaboration with Ford Performance, represents a potent upgrade with the assurance of warranties from both Herrod and Ford Performance. Customers have the option to select different kit variations based on their Mustang model, with slight price variations depending on the specific model and associated modifications.
This latest offering from Herrod Performance underscores their commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance upgrades for Ford vehicles. The supercharger kit, now available for order, can be installed at Herrod Performance’s facility in Thomastown, Melbourne. The combination of official Ford Performance parts and Herrod Performance’s expertise ensures that Mustang enthusiasts can now experience a significant power boost while maintaining the integrity of their vehicle’s original design and performance capabilities.
