Getting big power from vehicles is as easy these days as it has ever been. Whether you buy one from an established manufacturer, or get a car tuned, engine and forced induction technology has reached the point where extracting north of 800 horsepower is as easy as milking a cow. But with a lot more fun at the end of it. That doesn't mean it comes cheap though, with many high-powered cars costing well over the $100k mark.Ford has now come up with a solution that combines the best of both worlds. With its factory supercharged upgrade, you could have a full two-car garage that makes over 1,500 combined hp, but for less than $100k. And all with a warranty. Now that is what dreams are made of. Ford's Supercharger Upgrade Brings Big Power Gains For Its Popular Mustang Ford Rather than its customers having to risk finding an independent shop to help boost the power outputs of their V8-powered Mustang GT or Dark Horse, Ford offers a factory-supported Whipple supercharger upgrade program via its Ford Performance department. At a cost of $10,500, the package sees a full supercharger kit bolstering the already-potent 5.0-liter Coyote V8 found under the hood of the sleek coupe. It can be added to the vehicle when you first buy the car from the factory, or added later on. Alongside the knowledge you're getting the work done by a Ford-supported workshop, you also get a handy 36-month warranty alongside the upgrade kit, affording you peace of mind for the medium term.On the Mustang, the kit includes a 3.0-liter Gen 6 Whipple supercharger and upgraded intercooler, as well as a few other engine tweaks. A larger 92 mm throttle body is included to help allow the engine to breathe better, while upgraded spark plugs and more powerful fuel injectors borrowed from a Shelby Mustang GT500 are on hand to make the Mustang even more of a fire-breathing monster. These upgrades allow the Mustang GT to produce 810 hp, a huge increase on the 480 hp it leaves the factory with. The Beloved F-150 Also Benefits From This Upgrade Ford Should the Mustang be a little impractical for your day-to-day life, then you'll be happy to learn that the same treatment can be carried out on the venerable F-150. The best-selling vehicle in the US doesn't get quite as many special enhancements as the Mustang with Ford's factory kit, though it retains the same 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger and improved intercooler. Without the other engine refinements, the F-150 can only reach 700 hp, though this isn't exactly limp-wristed. The advantage of this is that you can enjoy big power, but without the practical limitations of the Mustang. A New Mustang Can Be Had For Less Than $50k Ford If you fancy getting both of these vehicles with the supercharger upgrade for $100k, you won't be able to purchase both brand-new from the factory, and will need to pick up a used example of either. Or perhaps both, if you fancy saving even more cash. We'll start with the Mustang GT, which is the cheapest brand-new eligible 2026 Mustang you can buy. The base MSRP of the machine currently sits at $46,560, and this gets you plenty more than just that charismatic V8.A slick six-speed manual gearbox affords you an engaging driving experience, while a fully independent suspension setup is on hand to ensure the vehicle can flow through corners without panicking its pilot. A limited-slip differential is also included to help keep that 810 hp under control, while cabin refinements such as climate control will help keep you comfortable as you explore the limits of your Mustang on steroids. When combined with the supercharger kit, expect to hand over $57,060. Used Mustang GTs Can Be Found With Large Discounts Ford Getting below the combined $100k mark with a brand-new Mustang can be tricky, so we reckon opting for a year-old example provides the best compromise. Looking at the used market, we see you could bag a nearly new example with around 13,500 miles on the clock for around $30k, which would total around $40,000 once you had the supercharger upgrade installed. This allows you a practically new Mustang GT with 810 hp, but with a much reduced outlay. The F-150 Offers A Cheaper Entry Point Ford When it comes to securing yourself an F-150, the most cost-effective route comes by purchasing a regular cab XL variant, which is on the market for $39,330. A Super Cab is available for $41,600, while the most practical SuperCrew version of the XL trim is on the market for $43,935. Even the cheapest of these will set you back a total of $49,580 once you factor in the supercharger kit, which culminates in a total cost of $106,640 if you get a brand-new Mustang GT too. While still reasonable given the machinery you'll be taking delivery of, it's a little up on the $100k target. A Used F-150 Would Allow You The Chance To Have A New Mustang GT Ford If you'd prefer to have the Mustang GT brand-new, then opting for a used F-150 is an effective way to dip below the total $100k barrier. CarEdge shows that a year-old F-150 XL regular cab will lose around $13k of its value having covered 13,500 miles, which would leave it at around $26,000. Work with a total of around $36k with the supercharger installed, and you could have a brand-new supercharged Mustang GT alongside it for a total of $93k. Considering you'd have just over 1,500 hp at your disposal, we reckon this is a pretty darn good deal. A Full-Fat Shelby GT500 Code Red Would Cost Double This Shelby American This value looks even better once you factor in just how much cash you'd have to hand over for a Shelby Mustang GT500 Code Red, which sends 1,300 hp to its rear wheels courtesy of its twin-turbocharged V8. While it may be more powerful than the Ford Performance-tuned Mustang GT or F-150 on its own, it doesn't provide the versatility of having both sitting on your driveway ready to go. Plus, while it does come with a wide range of performance upgrades that enhance the vehicle's handling, those who simply want a ton of grunt to scare themselves silly with likely won't miss them too much. At least initially.This brings us to the cost of securing a Code Red. The base MSRP for the model is a bank-busting $224,995, which is well over double what even brand-new examples of the supercharged F-150 and Mustang GT demand. Bearing in mind the level of outright power you'll have at your fingertips, it's difficult to argue with how great the value is by opting for the Ford Performance route instead. Not only will you get a weekend warrior in the Mustang GT to enjoy, but you'll also have a family and work-friendly F-150 that comes with enough grunt to make some hardened supercars sweat.When it comes to spending $100k on automotive-related wares, we reckon this pair of Ford Performance-tuned heroes is a pretty damn effective way of doing it.
