Journey to 500 HP.
I've had my 2019 GT since September 22 and I'm loving it. I had a 2005 GT before this and it was nice but now that I have this it's a night and day difference. I had my 05 on the dyno very shortly after I bought it and it had 287 hp and 312 ft-lbs of torque bone stock. I know the 5.0 Coyote has about 460HP at the crank (according to Ford) and I'm not looking to spend $6-$8k for a supercharger or other forced induction setup for 2 reasons: 1.) I am worried about the internals with a boosted application. I've read several articles that say the stock internals are a significant upgrade then what was previously used and can comfortably handle up to 650+HP everyday with no issues but I'm still leary about adding a supercharge and damaging the engine down the road; and 2.) I'm really only looking at getting it to an even 500-550 hp. I was looking at doing an intake and throttle body upgrade and getting rid of the stock resonator. I do have the active exhaust option. Anybody know of a company offering an improved throttle body and intake option? I'd love to upgrade to what's on the Bullitt or GT350 editions. I'd also assume that a tune would be needed to get everything working. This car is my daily driver and I have been using 93 octane to get that last bit of performance with it stock.
I'll be following this thread. I am wondering same thing. So far what I have seen on YouTube are tunes, cold air intake, e85, upgrade headers. Things like that. I have a 2018, just have resonator delete with h pipe. And I only use premium fuel. But a thread like this would help with ideas.
Put the GT350 intake kit on it and it will put you at about 525hp+ (60hp gain at 7200 rpm) according to Ford Performance. Although nothing is specifically listed for 2018 and up. I am sure there is something available from Ford to suite your needs
