Hot Ford Mustang Video

Hot Ford Mustang Video

The Ford Mustang is an amazing machine—50 years of production and countless accolades has given it iconic status in the eyes of Americans and enthusiasts around the world. And while there are many vehicles that share an enthusiast following, few can match the Ford Mustang. And recently, Ford released a Hot Ford Mustang Video, loaded with serious Stangs and loads of tire smoke.

The Mustang is a lot of things to a lot of people. It’s a classic, a daily driver, a racecar, a show car, a collectable and even a dream. Mustangs have starred on the big screen, on TV, in music videos and they’ve owned racetracks all over the world. And now, with the global 2015 Mustang, our favorite Ford is truly a world-wide muscle car.

At Brothers Performance, we’re all about Mustangs and we offer an endless list of aftermarket components to give your Mustang horsepower, style and unlimited handling ability. It’s amazing how the late-model EFI Mustangs have evolved. The Fox-body Stangs of the late ’80s changed the outlook of performance enthusiasts as the EFI systems opened the door to a new level of small-block performance.

With basic modifications, such as the BBK Performance cold-air kit and throttle body, Mustang owners cracked into the 12s, 11s and 10s. Power adders such as nitrous and the early Paxton, Vortech and Kenne Bell superchargers drove Mustang performance to an entirely new level.

This evolution has continued to the 5.0 liter Coyote-powered Mustangs of today. A good-running stock 225 hp 5.0 H.O. will make about 185 rwhp and that was a big deal. These days, the 5.0 Coyote makes as much as 435 horsepower (444 in the 2012-13 Boss 302!). We’re anxiously awaiting the horsepower numbers on the Shelby GT350, and we anticipate 520 hp from the 5.2 liter mill. It’s pretty amazing to think that a 302 cube engine in a Mustang could stop the most fierce big-blocks muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s.

Stay tuned to BrothersPerformance.com, as we’ll have some ground-breaking announcements early next week on many amazing new products from Ford. Thanks for stopping by.

Panhard Bar for 2005-2014 Ford Mustangs

Panhard Bar for 2005-2014 Mustangs

While Ford did an outstanding job with the 2005-2014 Mustang, enthusiasts are always looking to dial in performance to their liking. The S197 chassis provides a much-improved platform when compared to the Fox and Fox-4 it replaced, but like most production vehicles, the manufacturer made concessions for comfort and ride quality. No problem, Brothers Performance is here to help you add power, improve handling, and stop shorter. The first step is to get your hands on an aftermarket Panhard Bar for 2005-2014 Ford Mustangs.

All S197 2005-2014 Ford Mustangs are equipped with a MacPherson strut suspension up front, and a three-link rear suspension with coil springs and a Panhard Bar (also called a Panhard Rod or a Track Bar) out back. This suspension works great for street performance, as well as for drag racing and road racing—but you can make it better with aftermarket springs and shocks designed for your specific driving style. It's just natural to swap in performance suspension links and polyurethane bushings, better brakes, and any type of power adder you give you more “GO!”

The Panhard Bar is a critical component of the rear suspension. It's mounted laterally and connects between the Mustang’s body and rear-end housing to limit side-to-side movement of the rear end housing in relation to the body of the vehicle, while allowing the rear to move up and down through the designed range of motion. Vertical movement is necessary to keep the tires in compliance with the road or track surface. If you made your suspension too stiff, the result would be like a skateboard hitting a rock, and your tires would bounce off the surface. As you can guess, this is not good for handling or even basic control. Dropping your Stang and adding some stiffness is actually good for handling, thankfully the factory leaves room for you to lower your Mustang and install parts to improve steering response and overall handling, without sacrificing ride quality.

Recently, the BrothersPerformance.com team installed an adjustable Panhard Bar from Steeda, which carries part number 555-2551A and sells for about $170.00. Adjustability in a Panhard Bar length is useful—as it allows you to properly center the rear housing under the car. This is important in any Mustang, but especially lowered Mustangs. If you have the stock bar in place, as you lower your S197 Ford Mustang, the rear will slide to the left. Lateral movement of the rear as well as the adjustability feature of the Steeda bar is shown in our attached video.

Steeda’s Adjustable Panhard Bar is built from lightweight 4130 chrome moly steel (making it four pounds lighter than stock), and it has high-durometer bushings in place of rubber bushings. As we mentioned, its length is adjustable, even when it’s mounted in the car—we really like this feature. It also looks pretty racy.

You can expect easy installation using basic hand tools, plus the ability to easily set your rear perfectly under the car, and of course enhanced handling with better response.

2005 to 2010 Mustang BBK Power Plus Throttle Body

2005 to 2010 Mustang BBK Power Plus Throttle Body

Late-Model Mustang owners have long been aware of the improvements offered from an aftermarket throttle body. Larger-than-stock throttle bodies give your engine an increase in airflow and BrothersPerformance.com stocks a complete selection of Mustang throttle bodies for virtually every application. As you know, BBK Performance was the very first aftermarket company to provide a Mustang-specific throttle body, way back in the Fox-body Mustang days. And one popular model is the 2005 to 2010 Mustang BBK Power Plus Throttle Body.

The 2005-2010 Mustang GT was equipped with the reliable 300 horsepower 4.6-liter modular Three-Valve engine that uses a front-mounted twin-bore throttle body. And while they make 300 horsepower in stock trim, a generous bump in power can be had with simple bolt-on parts including cold-air kits, headers and exhaust, camshafts, intake manifolds, flash tuners and of course, throttle bodies. Direct bolt-on BBK Power Plus throttle bodies for the 4.6 can be had from BBK in either twin-62 mm or twin-65 mm sizes.

Each BBK throttle body begins life as a high-quality 356-aluminum casting, which is very strong and provides excellent resistance to corrosion. This aluminum type is commonly used in aircraft parts, structural castings such as automatic transmission cases, and impellers, too.

Each casting is CNC-machined and comes with new electronic controlled injection-molded plastic gear assemblies to work smoothly with your drive-by-wire system. All this technology makes for a hassle-free installation that you can accomplish at home. By the way, installation is actually easy enough for a novice and requires only hand tools.

BBK not only sells a variety of throttle bodies for the Fox Mustang, but for all late-model 5.0L, Two-Valve, Three-Valve and Four-Valve Mustang engines—right up to the all-new 2015 models. And BBK Power Plus throttle bodies are designed and built with quality and performance in mind—right here in the U.S.A.

With no other modifications, we’ve seen 10-15 horsepower at the wheels—but the best performance will come after you installed a new tune. We always recommend a flash tuner, such as the SCT X4 and a cold-air kit to compliment a new throttle body. This is the best way you’ll maximize airflow and the air/fuel ratio for efficiency, power and drivability.
