  • 2016 Ford Mustang GT – 900HP

    2016 Ford Mustang GT – 900HP

    Daniel brought his 2016 Ford Mustang GT in to have her put under a little pressure! And as it turned out, this particular Coyote 5.0L is quite the factory freak…

    Up first, Andrew installed a Gen-IV 2.9L twin-screw system from Whipple Superchargers equipped with a 3.750″ upper pulley along with Stage 2 upgrades including a high-flow intercooler pump and billet Roval 132mm throttle body, billet oil pump gears from Modular Motorsports Racing – MMR, a set of LTR7IX spark plugs from NGK Spark Plugs India, along with all the miscellaneous OEM Ford components to bring it together, breathing through the existing 1.875″ primary diameter long-tube headers from CORSA Performance, all transmitting through an RST clutch & steel flywheel setup from McLeod Clutches.

    Then with the mechanical work completed, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. The result? A repeatable 777.94whp and 593.71lbft at ~12psi on 93 octane, with a highest run of 791.51whp & 596.32lbft! From this exact combination of parts on 93 octane, these are the highest numbers we’ve produced on a factory Gen-II Coyote by a margin of ~25whp. Solid outcome all around!

  • 2016 Ford Focus RS – 446HP

    2016 Ford Focus RS – 446HP

    David’s Nitrous Blue 2016 Ford Focus RS is back in the shop to have the EcoBoost taken to the next level! The target? Mid-400awhp on pump gas.

    When this RS first came to us, it was completely stock, and for the first round of work we installed a COBB Tuning carbon fiber intake system, Mountune front-mount intercooler & piping, Stainless Works down-pipe, Mountune exhaust system, COBB Tuning rear engine mount, all brought together with a custom calibration by Vlad via COBB Tuning’s Accessport. While that held David over for a while, soon enough he got that familiar itch for more, and brought his Focus RS back in for the next step!

    This round, John installed a set of ARP cylinder head studs, Mountune MRX turbocharger upgrade featuring a BorgWarner Performance Aftermarket EFR 7163 with matching Mountune down-pipe, Mountune V3 camshaft set and matching valvetrain, Radium Engineering dual catch cans, and all the miscellaneous OEM Ford gaskets & seals needed to bring it all together.

    With the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via COBB Tuning’s Accessport. With the EFR 7163 delivering 22psi on 93 octane, Vlad was able to increase the 2.3L EcoBoost’s output to 446.66awhp & 441.64lbft! With an additional 107awhp & 42lbft gained over his last visit, David’s itch for more performance has been scratched… for now.

  • 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor

    2018 Ford F-150 Raptor

    Dan brought his 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor in to get the turbochargers breathing a bit easier and get the intake air temperature under control! Up first, John set the 3.5L EcoBoost up with a COBB Tuning front-mount intercooler upgrade, a COBB Tuning intake system, and Stainless Works down-pipes & Y-pipe. Then with the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via COBB Tuning’s Accessport.

    The results came in strong at 443.71whp & 536.33lbft on 93 octane! Considering these trucks normally baseline around 340whp & 380lbft on our DynoJet 424xLC2 dynos, that’s a gain of over 100whp & 150lbft! Solid repeatable gains that Dan will notice every time he hits the throttle.

  • 2010 Mustang GT500 – MMR Steet Mod 1000

    2010 Mustang GT500 – MMR Steet Mod 1000

    Buying a dream car with an underlying, serious issue — it’s every gearhead’s worse fear. And sadly, that’s the situation James found himself in with his newly acquired VMP 2.3L supercharged 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. When this occurs, there are generally three options: 1) cut your losses. 2) repair as cost-effectively as possible. 3) take it as an opportunity to improve, building it stronger, and making it better. What path did James choose? Well, option 3, of course!

     

    After diagnosing the piston failure, Archer removed & disassembled the engine to determine the extent of the damage, and inventory reusable components. From there, the piston-shrapnel damaged cylinder heads went to our friends at Ballos Precision Machine for casting repair & a full refresh. Then, we weighed the options, and with his future power goals in mind, James opted to go with Modular Motorsports Racing – MMR 5.4L Street Mod 1,000 built short block for the core of his build. Once the short block arrived, Archer got to reassembling the new engine with ARP fasteners, all new OEM Ford gaskets, seals, timing components, pumps, along with all the OEM & aftermarket odds-and-ends to bring it together, topped off with Stainless Works long-tube headers & X-pipe.

     

    Once the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Charlie strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. With 93 octane in the tank, Vlad increased this Condor’s output to 692.77whp & 671.19lbft! And with that, James had his baby back, better than ever, and ready to be enjoyed (read: thrashed) for years to come!

    2018 Ford Mustang GT350 – Whipple

    Billy brought us his gorgeous Ruby Red Metallic 2018 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 to have the 5.2L Voodoo put under a little pressure!

    Up first in the shop, Jackson installed a Gen-III 2.9L twin-screw system from Whipple Superchargers, ID1050X fuel injectors from Injector Dynamics, billet oil pump gears from Modular Motorsports Racing – MMR, a set of LZTR7AIX-13 spark plugs from NGK Spark Plugs, along with all the miscellaneous OEM Ford components to bring it all together.

    Then with the mechanical work completed, Charlie strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. The result? 781.62whp & 551.18lbft on 93 octane! An increase of ~320whp & ~190lbft over where these cars normally baseline stock on our dyno, with only 10psi.

  • 2018 Mustang 1,000HP Package

    2018 Mustang 1,000HP Package

     
    ’18 Mustang // Turn-Key Package // 1,000+ Horsepower:

     

    1000hp Mustang Whipple

     
    That’s what Barry was looking for when he brought us his 2018 Ford Mustang GT A10, and that’s exactly what we delivered. It’s no secret that these Gen-III Coyotes are one of the strongest modular Ford engines ever produced. Rewind just 10 years ago, and such a power level would require built engine, reinforced/reengineered drivetrian, stand-alone engine management, etc. In this case, our 1,000+ horsepower Mustang Gen-III Coyote Package is built around a practically stock engine, transmission, rear end, all on stock ECU — comprised of the following:
     
    Whipple Superchargers 3.0L twin-screw supercharger system, upgraded heat exchanger, 10-rib pulley conversion, ATI Performance Products harmonic balancer, Stainless Works 2.00″ primary diameter long-tube headers and 3.00″ diameter exhaust system, Modular Motorsports Racing – MMR billet oil pump gears & sprocket, Fore Innovations, LLCL1E return-style fuel system, Injector Dynamics ID1050X fuel injectors, Driveshaft Shop 3.50″ chromoly driveshaft, Ford Performance driveshaft safety loop, Driveshaft Shop 1,400hp Pro-Level axles, Bmr Suspension Inc rear subframe cradle lockdown, all brought together with a custom calibration by Vlad via HP Tuners. And while Barry is going to put this beast to good use at the drag strip, this Mustang also needs to be able to hit the grocery store just as effectively. So, we gave him two calibrations, one for 93 octane, one for E85. The results? On 93 octane: a killer 814.77whp & 696.22lbft… More than enough for effective grocery store runs. On E85: a staggering 974.15whp & 791.05lbft! See video in comments.
     
    The crazy part is that number is just where we chose to stop — with more ignition timing, this setup would have easily hit ~1,050whp/850lbft. That said, after we hit the 974whp/791lbft mark, we backed it down to around 925whp/740lbft for delivery — if the extra 50whp/40lbft is ever needed, it’s just one flash away. Needless to say, Barry is going to enjoy himself out at the track and on the street alike!
     
     
     
     
     

    In short, we truly are living in the Golden Age of internal combustion performance.

  • 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra – 1,100HP

    2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra – 1,100HP

    Back in 2012, this beautiful 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra came through the shop for a transformation — in the form of a custom fabricated twin-turbocharger system utilizing Vibrant Performance components, Precision Turbo & Engine 6262 turbochargers, TiAL Sport pressure control, with a UPR Products tubular K-member opening up room for routing, and a return-style fuel system utilizing components from Fore Innovations, LLC, Fragola Performance Systems, Aeromotive Fuel Systems, and Injector Dynamics.

    The goal was a drivable, reliable, stealthy ~900whp, and that’s precisely what we delivered. This car offered no sign of its output to unsuspecting contenders, until the turbochargers were singing, and the wastegates were howling — exactly what the previous owner wanted.

    7 years later, this Terminator is now owned by Eric.. and Eric doesn’t give a damn about subtlety. So, he brought her back in for Jared to custom fabricate bumper-exit down-pipes, have some minor setup updates made, and have it all brought together with a custom calibration by Vlad via SCT. The result? A new output of 950.05whp & 831.59lbft at ~22psi! Check out the video below!

    Stay tuned for more in the future from this twin-turbocharged Terminator!

  • 2018 Ford Mustang GT350 – Whipple

    2018 Ford Mustang GT350 – Whipple

    This pristine Oxford White 2018 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 belongs to Chris, and while he enjoyed the car in 100% showroom stock condition, he felt like it was missing something… a few hundred horsepower. So, when news of the 700hp+ ’20 GT500 dropped, it certainly piqued his interest. There was just one problem: he likes his manual transmission — one box the new GT500 doesn’t tick.

    So, why not create a best of both worlds solution, complete with GT500-besting power? That‘s exactly what we put together for Chris’ GT350! Up first, Jackson installed a Gen-III 2.9L twin-screw system from Whipple Superchargers, ID1050X fuel injectors from Injector Dynamics, billet oil pump gears from Modular Motorsports Racing – MMR, long-tube headers from Stainless Works with Cerakote by Detective Coating, along with all the miscellaneous OEM Ford components to bring it all together.

    Then, she hit the rollers get dialed in by Vlad via HP Tuners. The result? 771.23whp & 565.94lbft! An increase of 320.85whp & 196.59lbft over the stock baseline! We think it’s safe to say Chris got the missing power he was after.

    2019 Ford F-150 Raptor

    Gary brought us his 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor to get the 3.5L EcoBoost breathing a bit easier and making more power! Up first, Andrew installed a Full-Race Motorsports cold-air intake system, aFe POWER BladeRunner GT Series intercooler system, Stainless Works down-pipes, all breathing through a Borla Performance complete exhaust system. From there, she hit the rollers to get dialed in by Vlad via HP Tuners.

    The results were absolutely fantastic, coming in at 443.97whp & 481.73lbft, a gain of 127.89whp & 148.22lbft over baseline! Needless to say, that’s a difference Gary will notice both while cruising around, and at wide-open throttle.
