Now if they were to put that in an AWD Mustang, it would sure give some GT fans something to think about.
What i listed were really low level mods and i don't think it will push the engine to a limit where you have to deal with a warranty claim. You can even save a lot of money going with a pase pp car and adding some light mods to it. You will be left with enough money to even buy a new engine if everything goes south compared to a brand new 1le.
I took my 2017 gt for invoice otd. I think thats a fine goal.
You can get GTPP's all day for 5k+ off. I custom ordered mine the day the order banks opened in May 2014 and got $5250 off.
These cars are easily available at 5k off MSRP. Koons Ford on the east coast sells them for 7k+ off. Lots of dealerships accept x-plan, too.
So it's possible to walk out with a ~31k GTPP? Wow.
Why would you want a truck motor in a Mustang? I'm not sure you understand how HP and torque work. That motor would be great if you want to tow something, and great in a big, heavy vehicle like the Raptor - but not so much for a Mustang. 450 HP is about where the Mustang GT is now, so speed through the 1/4 mile would be essentially equal to the current Mustang GT.
I wouldn't buy a 6 cylinder Mustang unless my car was worn out and no V8 was available in any car anywhere around. I'd buy an older, low miles V8 car before buying a new 6 cylinder Mustang. I'm not saying the car couldn't be fun and/or fast, just that I wouldn't enjoy driving a car with a 6 as much as I enjoy mine with an 8. Most of the time I am on the street commuting or cruising and I need the V8 soundtrack.
I was actually going for the power pack 2 but i realized its really not worth the money for me since my car already passed 20,000 miles and the amount of gains look funny compared to a reputable tuner. I even have extended warranty on my car but can't wait that long to actually see what it is really capable off. We have people on these forums driving their cars hard on aftermarket tunes with no issues and that gives me some relief. Besides the 5.0 has proven itself to be reliable.Maybe not...but flash your ECU with that lund flex fuel tune and your engine warranty is plausibly out the window (though some dealerships might look the other way if you're lucky).
Just something to factor into the arithmetic.
Don't forget about your ~$1200 for tires...assuming you're keeping the stock wheels.
Going fast costs money! Who knew?
Worth every penny, IMO.
From what I gather, the Ford Power Packs don't violate warranty but they're not cheap either. Powerpack 2 which IIRC gets you up to 450+hp (but not much improvement to torque) is something like $1000.

I had no idea they were having such a hard time moving cars. That should probably factor into all of the conversations on sales numbers on this forum.
I hear you on this. I tuned mine before the warranty was up and I didn't end up having any problems. It's a calculated risk but it's one that can't be ignored. As I said before, this isn't viable path for everyone.
A 3.5EB Mustang with 450HP and 510 TQ would decimate a current GT in the 1/4 mile..especially if paired to an A10.
It would be 33000-33500 otd. I added 1500 in options in mine. I didnt want the pp. Was a waste of cash for a drag car build. Mine was 32500 otd with an upgraded paint and recaros as my only option upradesMaybe not...but flash your ECU with that lund flex fuel tune and your engine warranty is plausibly out the window (though some dealerships might look the other way if you're lucky).

$60k and under:
And yet the focus RS will have he most problems out of those
I don't think you understand how important that torque is. Let me put it this way, imagine having a higher low end and midrange torque even higher than what a hemi 6.4 or the lt1 can produce and couple that with the agressive gearing. The post above is right. You will gain a second in the quarter mile time plus will have that torque reserved on the road coarse coming out of a turn. It will significantly change the tier and class of the mustang.
