The new supercharger is Ford Racing's first power upgrade component for the new 5.0 engine.
It
was developed by Ford Racing engineers, in close collaboration with
Ford Motor Company's powertrain engineers, Team Mustang, and key
partners in Roush and Whipple.
"Superchargers are the ultimate in
power upgrades for Mustang enthusiasts," says George Goddu, Ford Racing
Performance Group Manager. "Calibration for a modern V8 engine,
especially one with twin-independent variable cam timing, is incredibly
complex.
Production calibration for the 5.0 engine took 19 months. Having that knowledge base to work from is a huge advantage."
"In fact we had the whole engineering background of the engine right from initial concept," Goddu added.
"With
that knowledge base, and extensive collaboration across the team, we
are able to offer a top-notch supercharger, induction kit and the
optimum calibration.
This results in great power,
drivability and durability.""After more than 100 hours of accelerated
durability testing, the entire Ford Racing package performed flawlessly"
reports Dev Saberwal, Ford Racing's lead calibration engineer, "Ford
Racing performance parts are subjected to extensive testing to ensure
optimum performance across a broad range of conditions."
This supercharger comes as a complete package, and it's available in three levels: a
525 hp kit with a 12/12 engine warranty;
a 624 hp kit (with no warranty) and a tuner kit (with no warranty) for
racing and extreme enthusiasts. The tuner kit is a component kit for
projects where further modification to the setup is planned and custom
tuning will be used for proper calibration. The Ford Racing calibration
is not supplied in the tuner kit. Each of these impressive kits gives
2011 Mustang owners the opportunity to boost the performance of their
cars to new levels.
Nobody puts more time and resources into the
development than Whipple and Ford Racing. The proof is in the product,
more power per lb of boost then any other system. The key to making such
incredible reliable power is in the Whipple unique twin screw
supercharger, massive air-to-water intercooler, oversized Crusher air
system and innovative PCM programming that keeps the powertrain safe and
secure. Whether you're looking for a daily driver that needs a little
more punch or you're craving a tire-frying, rubber shredding street
machine, the Ford Racing supercharger systems deliver like no other
system today. Power from tip-in to redline, the new Whipple SC system
makes incredible power across the
entire rpm range while maintaining industry leading drive-ability.
With
years of OEM and racing experience, Whipple and Ford engineers have
developed a unique PCM calibration that reconfigures all the necessary
engine functions including fuel, spark, knock detection, torque
management, transmission control and electronic throttle control. The
vehicles PCM constantly monitors the engines torque output while
monitoring many different parameters to keep the engine in it's ideal
parameters. If a parameter falls below specification, the PCM will lower
boost and torque output until the problem can be cured. No other
calibration in the field has such technology, giving the Whipple-FRPP SC
system unheralded performance and reliability.
