Performance enthusiasts seeking power upgrades for their project vehicles or kit builds will find plenty to progress on the Ford Performance website. The latest addition to its lineup brings even more options with the introduction of supercharged versions of Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 and 7.3-liter Megazilla V-8.
While both engines already offer impressive output in their naturally aspirated forms, those looking for extra horsepower may find the 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger to be a compelling upgrade.
Ford’s crate Coyote engine in its base configuration delivers 460 horsepower and is priced at $11,500. Meanwhile, the naturally aspirated Megazilla—a modified version of the Godzilla truck engine—produces 612 horsepower with a cost of $22,995.
Expected Pricing and Warranty Differences
Given that Ford already sells the supercharger separately for $9,995 for the 2024–2025 Mustang GT and Dark Horse, the price for fully assembled supercharged variants is expected to rise by at least $10,000.
What remains uncertain is the positioning of the supercharged 5.2-liter Raptor R crate engine, which provides 760 horsepower for $29,500. One interesting distinction lies in the warranty coverage between the standalone supercharger and the supercharged crate engine.
When installed by a Ford dealer or an ASE-certified mechanic, the supercharger itself is backed by a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. However, the full supercharged crate engine only receives a two-year, 24,000-mile warranty.
The supercharger kit is also equipped with several performance-enhancing components that are expected to be included with the new crate engine, such as GT500 fuel injectors, a redesigned throttle body, and an intercooler.
When installed on a Mustang with active exhaust, this setup produces 810 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque. Vehicles without active exhaust generate slightly less power, with a decrease of 10 horsepower—showing that performance isn’t solely about sound.
Megazilla Supercharged Model and Availability
Less information has been revealed regarding the Megazilla’s supercharged version, but it has been confirmed as an off-road-only model.
The naturally aspirated variant is already built with durable high-performance components, including forged Mahle pistons, a high-lift camshaft, and Callies H-beam connecting rods.
To achieve an increase of roughly 400 horsepower, a substantial amount of boost will be required, but the 7.3-liter displacement provides plenty of potential—both in terms of capability and sheer size, as the naturally aspirated version weighs 673 pounds.
Both supercharged engines are expected to become available in the fourth quarter of this year. However, Mustang owners with 2024 or newer models can already purchase the supercharger kit.
