Quest For 500 Hp 2013 Mustang Gt

[Turd_Burglar]

Hey guys I am relatively new to the forum and have a pretty basic question. My 2013 has 420 hp with premium gas. I am hoping to up it to 500 hp. Can this be done with simple bolt on mods (CAI, tuner, etc)? I don't want a power adder I would like to keep it natural. I have the magnaflow competition axel back planned for installation (I have read this will not increase hp). Any thoughts or a road map for competition is greatly appreciated. I am reasonably mechnically inclined and would be doing the work myself. Also, I live in Texas so emissions does become a factor.

All feedback is welcome and ideas/suggestions!

Simple bolt ons yes. Depends if your looking from the wheels or the crank.

 

[Turd_Burglar]

Crank! Which would put over 400 at the rear, correct? Any help is much appreciated!

 

[chris28912]

No

Oh your asking about HP from the crank. Yes your correct.

CAI, Long tubes, cams and a tune.

500RWHP is best accomplished with a blower, but that being said I'm sure if you were to put on a CAI, long tubes, some port work, cams, and tuning you might be able to get there.

Just be mindful that you WILL void warranty with headers

 

[chris28912]

You void warranty with pretty much anything you do to cars now a days.

Thanks for the replies. I am open on the budget and am just looking for a road map. Thanks for your input and I will start with a tune and CAI. It does suck though you can't change a thing without the voiding the warranty (or should i say risk of voiding).

I'm a little late, but I recommend what we call the Initial Trifecta: Cold Air Intake, exhaust, and a tune. Which is what these guys all said. Yep, I'm late.

500 is a fairly high goal, might be easier and cost the same just to add a mild blower

It's not a fairly high goal for 500BHP the parts I listed above will do the job, however you're right it will be easier to get lets say the 525HP FRPP blower kit and call it a day.

Yeah you are right, 500hp should be manageable, would it not gain power mainly at the top end though, a blower will win in the torque department, that is where I would go, especially on a car that also gets driven on the road

Blower.
