Ford Gives The Mustang GT Some GT350 Wickedness

If you can’t afford to get a Shelby GT350 and have to settle for the slow, tired Mustang GT with only 435 horsepower, Ford’s got your back.

Ford Performance has announced it’ll start selling three different stage packages. The various bundles of parts and engine tunes are appropriately called Power Packs. Many of the bits included in them are inspired by or taken directly from the GT350. And no, a flat-plane crank isn’t one of the offerings, sorry.

These Power Packs are compatible with Ford Mustang GTs from the 2015 to 2017 model years. For now, they’ll only be sold in North America, but Ford could decide to distribute them elsewhere later.

Power Pack 1 features a light ECU tune good for a 13 horsepower and 16 lb.-ft. of torque bump, plus a K&N high-flow air filter. The setup also means low-end torque increases by 40 lb.-ft.

Ford Performance Power Pack 2 introduces the first round of GT350 mods. The first Shelby donation is a cold-air intake and 87-mm throttle body. The performance bump comes in at 21 horsepower and 24 lb.-ft. of torque.

With Power Pack 2, the Mustang GT gains the intake manifold from the Shelby GT350. About 37 horsepower is added to the car, along with 5 lb.-ft. of torque, which seems like a weird number. Top-end horsepower goes up by 60, making this a track-focused set of mods.

Power Pack 1 will be released in August, Power Pack 2 in September and Power Pack 3 in October.
