Ford Performance has announced the performance-enhancing calibrations for 2015 and newer Mustang EcoBoost and the Mustang GT. The new Ford Performance Parts will provide substantial power gains and are compatible with the vehicle limited warranty.
The Ford Performance Mustang EcoBoost performance calibration kit for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine boosts peak torque 95Nm for a total of 528Nm of torque, along with a peak 25 horsepower gain for a total of 335 horsepower.
Peak horsepower and torque increases with the EcoBoost calibration kit are substantial, but even more impressive are the gains throughout the powerband, including a whopping 100 horsepower increase at 6,000 rpm. The kit boasts an average gain of 40 horsepower and 81Nm of torque from 2,500 rpm to 5,000 rpm, with even larger average gains of 75 horsepower and 86Nm of torque from 5,500 rpm to redline. As a result, the Mustang EcoBoost should be able to spin the rear wheels with aplomb.
Mustang GT on the other hand, receives a trio of power packages for its V8, marking the first time Ford has offered more than one performance calibration for a single powertrain application. These power packages bring a unique no-lift-shift feature to manual transmission-equipped vehicles, enabling drivers to maximize acceleration by allowing shifts without lifting off the throttle.
The first power pack features a unique performance calibration and high-flow air filter – delivering peak gains of 13 horsepower and 21Nm of torque for Mustang GT. The second includes a cold air intake, 87-millimeter throttle body, and intake adapter from Shelby GT350 Mustang featuring an industry-exclusive CARB-certified open air filter that provides peak gains of 21 horsepower and 32Nm over the stock 5.0-liter V8 engine.
Last but not least, the third power pack for the Mustang GT changes the character of the potent 5.0-liter V8 by moving the redline up to 7,500 rpm. This kit brings a substantial 37 horsepower boost and an extended powerband, along with a peak gain of 6Nm of torque to provide serious value for Mustang customers.
EcoBoost performance calibration kit and Mustang GT power packages are available for both manual and automatic transmission-equipped Mustangs. For automatic applications, each features optimized performance shift schedules.
