For Stage 2 of the AmericanMuscle.com 2012 Mustang GT Project Car build, we wanted Project Blackout to really start dominating as a street car. We decided it was time to kick it up a notch on this car a little and drop in more performance mods to get some horsepower crankin’! We’re getting this car ready for SERIOUS horsepower!

I guess I should introduce you to our new manual 2012 Mustang GT. We’ve named it Project Blackout, and if you’ve been following our build on our Facebook page, you probably know that we’re building it up in 4 Stages, from simple bolt-ons, to the ultimate street Mustang with more horsepower than you’d ever need!

Check this out… a good customer dropped of their 2011 5.0L Mustang GT California Special, topped off with a Vortech Supercharger, for some custom tuning on the dyno from our team at Bama Performance. Mike Wilson, Bama lead calibrator, strapped down this blown 5.0L Ford Mustang to our dyno and let it rip! The results…

We dropped a brand new Accel Super Coil on Plug Kit into our 2011 Automatic Mustang GT to see what kind of horsepower gains were left on the table. Rated at over 412 horsepower, you really wouldn’t think that there’s a ton of room for improvement by adding affordable bolt-on performance mods (besides the basic CAI/Tuner/Exhaust). Our friends over at Accel found a way to add as much as 10HP and 9TQ to a 2011 and newer Mustang GT or V6 in less than an hour!

From time to time, someone will ask us “Why does my car put out 290 horsepower on the dyno if it was rated at 300 horsepower stock?” Dyno results can be confusing for anyone who hasn’t read up on the topic. How can the same car put down different numbers just because the dyno manufacturer isn’t the same? These answers are simple much easier to understand if you know how a dyno calculates or measures horsepower and torque.

I grew up a Chevy kid, but when it came time to get a muscle car of my own, I fell in love with Mustangs. Been bleeding blue ever since. Being a Customer Service Rep at American Muscle lets me talk about the cars I love and how to make...

I have been toying with Mustangs since before a driver's license was even an option. I've owned somewhere around 15 and I'm not done by a long shot. It all started with a 175 HP pearl white convertible Fox Body. It sparked my love for Mustang's and that sparked a...

I'm currently a student at Penn State University studying political science. I've run a performance shop on the side for over a year now, and I've been working on cars for 7 years now. I've done transmissions, engines, and suspensions on many different cars. I used to be a Chevy...

I am a Mustangaholic. Do not try to cure me, I am perfectly OK with being one. I have owned over 10 Mustangs in my lifetime already. I currently have just 5 (I did own 8 at one time). I fell in love for the first time when I was...

Got into cars when I was young. Always was into the Mustangs because of the movie 'Gone in 60 Seconds' with the 1967 Shelby GT500 Fast back when I was growing up. I am currently attending Universal Technical Institute for Automotive/Diesel and Ford Fact program. I just started working at...

I may be the only person to ever brave a winter with drag radials on a Mustang, while still daily driving it. Don't worry, I finally got them off in the spring (day late and a dollar short, right?), and I promptly finished those tires at our company picnic in...

I have always been around Mustangs in my professional life, either fixing them as a mechanic, selling them at dealerships, or modding them here at AmericanMuscle. Instead of starting right away with the power mods, I started looking more into suspension and weight reduction. I have always dreamed of entering...

I am a diehard Mustang fanatic. I first fell in love with Mustangs when I was 15 years old and I found a 1966 Mustang coupe restoration project. That was the beginning of my addiction. I quickly added a 1993 Mustang LX 5.0 to my collection which served as my...

This whole story starts when I was 15 and I had to have a foxbody. So I went out and found the loudest fastest foxbody that 5 grand could buy. When I realized that this thing was a certain death trap I sold it and moved onto the 2000 GT...

I went to automotive school in Exton, PA, and worked as a mechanic for a while. My dad is a huge Ford guy; he used to drag race and my uncles raced motorcycles so I was always in the garage growing up. Working here is nice because it's not as...

I got my first Mustang when I was 16, a two tone 91 GT red and silver with a sunroof that didn't leak! And needless to say I was a bit timid to do work on it, I hadn't modified any vehicle before outside of installing a CD player. I...

Recently I bought my first home, the selling point for the house was not the amount of land, bedrooms, or bathrooms like how most people would choose a home. I made my choice based on the garage where the mustang sleeps. The garage is completely finished with painted floors, walls,...

My first car was a 1989 Ford Mustang Saleen Convertible that I used as my test car to learn about working on Mustangs. Foxbodies have become my passion and now I pretty much consider myself a Foxbody expert. My dream project car is a Foxbody with a 03-04 cobra swap...

I've loved Mustangs for as long as I can remember. My dad was a Camaro guy growing up, but his first work truck was a Ford, and we've been a Ford-only family ever since. My dad is a sheet metal worker/mechanic, so everything I know about my car I learned...

I have only driven 2 manual transmission Mustangs, the 1st was the car that taught me how to drive stick shift. The other is my current daily driver. A very memorable moment about my GT500 happened when I purchased a JLT CAI and SCT tuner. I thought the car was...

I've had 18 Mustangs, ranging from a stock 66 coupe to a low 9-second Fun Ford Weekend Street Renegade 96 GT that made 888 RWHP. (308 cid motor, Edelbrock heads, intake and topped off with a Paxton Novi 2000R supercharger pushing 30 psi of boost). My best pass in that...

Mustangs hold a special place in my heart. My father owned a 65 mustang when he was younger, but a friend wrecked it. The grille pony still sits on his workbench. Until getting my own pony, I had no clue why he would keep a metal horse for so long....
