A performance upgrade package designed for a specific generation of Ford Mustang, typically model years 1979 to 1993 (the “Foxbody” platform), facilitates the installation of a General Motors LS-series engine and forced induction via a turbocharger. This combination results in a significant increase in horsepower and torque compared to the vehicle’s original engine configuration.
The appeal of such a system lies in its potential to dramatically enhance vehicle performance. The robust and readily available nature of the GM LS engine, coupled with the power-boosting capabilities of a turbocharger, creates a potent combination. Furthermore, modifying these vehicles represents a substantial segment of the automotive aftermarket, with considerable historical significance in the realm of performance customization and drag racing. The trend reflects the continued desirability of older platforms modernized with contemporary powertrain technology.
