JPC Racing is a Mustang tuner who have made a name for themselves in competition. They build consistently quick cars in different drag racing classes and the combination of a new motor design from Ford plus a 2011 Mustang was a combination they had to try out.
Without touching the engine internals, JPC installed a Paxton NOVI-series supercharger on the 5.0 liter V8 engine. Using 12 pounds of boost, JPC was able to generate 802 wheel horsepower on what is basically a bolt-on modification. Some have calculated that, compensating for drivetrain loss, the car makes about 930 horsepower at the flywheel. Not bad for a stock engine.
To put that power to the ground, an Eibach suspension, 4:56 final drive gearing and drag slicks from Mickey Thompson complement the drivetrain. Full-length exhaust headers handle the spent combustion gasses. Here's a video of the car on the dyno:
The engine does not idle like a stock engine so it’s possible that the cams are different. It would be interesting to use a performance calculator to get the engine’s power output and other performance data.
