Three weeks after purchase with 170 miles on the odometer, She is Supercharged!

[young at heart]

Brad is the owner, his dad started the dealership in the ‘50’s.

Wild Willie’s is the aftermarket department and they do it all from mild to wild. Superchargers, lifts, wheels and tires ect. If you go to there website the have trucks that are Wild Willie’s editions where bumpers, lifts, and wheel/tire packages have been done and sold new off the lot with a warranty.

I bought the Supercharger kit from CJ Pony Parts which was $9600 after tax and shipping. Install was $2900 including oil, filter, coolant, etc. Install took just over 2 days.

Just added the Supercharger. No headers, cams, Exhaust, etc. Wanted to keep the Ford Warranty, and 810 hp/640 lb-ft is good for me now.

This is great stuff to know.

I have to drive right by them to get to Athens from Dawsonville. I’ve known about them forever but had no clue they did this kind of stuff.

Thank you!

@92 Couper .....thanks for the info, beautiful car. The reason I ask is I assume the 2024 GTs (I have one) do not have the up-graded internals that the DH has, specifically the rods. Do you not have any concerns about that?

You car looks great. I'm still on the fence about having the Stage I installed on my car. My last 3 cars have been supercharged, but at 76 years of age I question whether I need that kind of horsepower or not.

Yes. The answer is always yes.

@92 Couper Beutiful Install. That shop is about 6 hours from me and honestly, 11K is not that bad installed. Please post pictures of it when you get the wheels and also a video of the supercharger whine.

Mine is a daily driven. Aside from the 15mpg I see on average - you don’t know it’s supercharged until you get on it. There’s no mistaking it at that point. Crazy HP on the street is perfect. 1st gear is useless, I’m waiting on my new wheels to arrive so that I can put some good tires out back. Depending on the roads, I can spin the tires past 75mph easily.

Did you have to get rid of the strut braces in the front?

 

[92 Couper]

Yes, the cross over part of the struts tower brace won't fit wit a whipple. The cowl brace (what they used to call monte carlo bars) still fits fine.

Yes. The answer is always yes.

There is no such thing as to much horsepower, but there is such a thing as to little traction

Did you feel changes to handling and front stability?

Mine had a whopping 7 miles on it when I had my supercharger installed. Do not regret in the slightest.

Did you have it shipped directly to the dealership, and were they OK with that? Would seem like an unnecessary hassle to order a 200 pound part to your house and then have to transport it to an installer.

Is the warranty from the vehicle's purchase date and original mileage, or from the date of the supercharger install and its mileage at that point? Reason I ask is because if it's from the date of original purchase of the mustang, and I don't get a supercharger for 3 years, then the warranty wouldn't help any.

That's called a Dodge

That’s a good one I think that I might have plagiarized Carroll Shelby with that quote.

Yes. The answer is always yes.

I am 67 and you should be fine with Stage 1 and I might plan the Stage 1 and I feel that Stage 2 would be for lots of younger ones (hope not more reckless ones on the road). 800 hp is just sufficient rate of horsepower for me as we age with sensibilities and wisdom! (Hopefully!)
