About 5 months ago, I purchased a 2017 GT Premium with a new Whipple 3.0 stage 2, renegade axles, Aluminum DS, McLeod RXT1200 Clutch, hood struts, pillar gauges, Line Lock mod, all brand new parts installed about $20k in mods, and the car had only 3k miles, yes, 3, 000 miles. It was stored in a heated garage on wheel savers, and is like brand new. The interior still smells brand new, I only paid $38k. Was an incredible deal. I was at the right place at the right time. The car pulls insanely strong with the whipple, it's so much fun.

Whipple stage 2 is 10 grand with taxes . He didn’t mention he did opg that’s some other 1500 in parts in labor to keep the motor safe which I doubt he did . Ruffly it’s about 12k to do it right without a fuel system . Which I think he still needs that’s why he’s on a octane booster . Another 2k+ to run it e85 which we do have stations around with it it’s about 15k with e85 setup .

Great video...I have a 2020 GT I wanted to do the same thing too and y'all answered all my

When you start power adds. You have a dollar amount you think it will cost. Scratch that. It will go way above what you initially thought. I have a GT Mustang PP1 with a KB liquid cooled blower. I am running 651 wheel horses power. Eibach suspension, but went with a road design. 305, 30's on 20 inch rims. Brembo came with the PP1. A Mcloed 1250 twin disc clutch. I am told a Lund tune could take the wheel horsepower to 800. But at 651 its a fast car. Would require a boost-a-pump, larger injectors, and Lund tune. My cost was very close to what he mentioned for the add-ons after the car

I was like oh I want one until he said 80k total, I think I will get a 15-17 5.0 full bolt on.

People don’t understand that $80k is something we spend as time goes on. It took me almost 3 years to the day to build my 18 and total in is about the same about $85-90k. But that took 3 years and that’s not even counting the times I did things over again and spent more money. My suspension is magneride and I have a little more pit into the car in regards to anti wheel hop. But yes it’s easily daily drivable especially if you have active exhaust and put in quiet mode. And I have Corsa Xtremes and American Racing headers but In quiet mode it feels like a Honda as long as you just cruise. Lol.

Back in September I was just browsing online for mustangs but wasn’t serious on buying. I found a 2018 Gt pp1 with a Roush 2650, Kook long tubes, full bolt on for 40k from a dealership in NY. Two days later I signed the papers and took it home. This is my first vehicle with a real hp number. At first it scared me every time I drove it but I’m starting to feel more comfortable with it. The rear kicks out in 1-3 so I’m trying to find a new set of tires. It still has original pilot sports from 6-7 years ago and the are starting to dry rot. I don’t have a lot of coin to get different offset rim for wider rubber. I don’t know if I should stick with the pilot sports or just grab a set of Nitto drag radials. I live in NJ so it can get cold and we get a lot of rain.

[GoYoteSlaya]

I totally agree with him. Took me a while to not slam on the pedal with the supercharger or you just spin

[MckinzieMotorsports]

Famous words. I Built it in my parents garage.

Me calls parents:
Mom! Dad! Im moving back home!😅

If you buy the car used like 30-35k if you are lucky you can save an extra 10-15k

[Luna_Voynich]

The roush performance kit is only 8, 000 and about I want to say 10 total installed and that brings 750

[k-rizzel]

Hell of a way to spend 12 thousand I'm jealous 😂

[defi]

Hey man awesome video! I’m thinking about doing this to my mustang. Did you upgrade the oil pump gears? And did you upgrade anything else?

[mattcat]

I’ve seen cars with ESS superchargers and a fuel system on E85 making 900+ for less than 15k. This guy got robbed.

[mrchemistrycow]

Should add some headers, CAI, and exhaust.

[truckandroll]

The more I watched your video the more respect I had. Very nice and informative. I just ordered a ‘21 Mach 1 which should arrive in August and for the longest time was eyeing the VMP Odin but have since swapped camps so to speak to Whipple. My car will be a Tremec 3160 6spd. Can you comment a bit more on the must have suspension upgrades requires? Additionally did you do billet OPGs and if not why? Thanks again

[mikezenda]

Like what you did too the 5.0. Did you consider the KB Lc 3.2? And why didn't you use it. You did your homework. That's why I'm asking. Thanks

[johnalcala]

Hey brother. Are you in northern or southern California? I live in the Los Angeles area and looking for a good shop that knows exactly what they are doing

[ayman-]

did he put supercharge to his mouth he is talking very fast

[martinezsteverson]

Hey my friend great video and I know I'm a little late to the party. You touched on about every question that I would have had but one. I have a 2022 Mach 1 with the 10r80 automatic tranny and I'm about to do a similar set up with about the same horsepower but my question is with us having the automatic trannys would I need to also invest in an upgraded torque converter or would the stock converter be sufficient to handle that type of power. Thanks.
