This is the same engine in multiple mustangs so extracting the horsepower was no problem for Shelby Autos. The centerpiece of engine tuning is the massive Whipple Supercharger that sucks in cold air via the functional hood scoop. Once the air is compressed and fed into the engine, it travels out a full Borla Exhaust system. Power is transferred through 3.73 rear gears.
