Since the topic of how shitty Fat's Mustang is has once again come up, I'd like to offer a much better 2006 Mustang GT for direct comparison.
Whether or not you like Matt Farah, there's some decent discussion in here about just how much work has to be done to make a 2006 GT even remotely comparable to a Coyote based Mustang with "bolt ons".
tl;dr it takes a centrifugal super charger (that sounds like it's "shushing" the entire road whenever you're off throttle), 10 pounds of boost, and about as much engine work as can be put into it without resorting to ridiculously priced modifications (as in MORE expensive than this already expensive build), insanely high octane fuel, NOS, or water injection systems while still remaining driveable and street legal to get to...wait for it...480WHP, which is basically what a Coyote will make with the very little aftermarket effort.
