    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.

  • Find 8-10 Easy Horsepower For Your Ford Mustang

    Find 8-10 Easy Horsepower For Your Ford Mustang

     

    If you’re looking to find 8-10 easy horsepower for your Ford Mustang, look no further than the affordable Brentech 70 mm throttle body designed to fit 1986-93 Fox-body Ford Mustangs with the venerable 5.0 Liter engine. Amazingly, BrothersPerformance.com sells this unit for right around $129.00 and the kit includes all the gaskets and hardware for a simple and quick install!

     

     

     

    Airflow is critical to horsepower, and the stock 60 mm throttle body can only take you so far. Once you’ve added a cold-air intake, improved intake and exhaust headers, the stock throttle body will become a restriction, preventing your engine from reaching its potential. There are many options for throttle bodies, but none offer the performance, quality, and affordability of the Brentech 70mm throttle body kit.

     

    Not some cheap off-short unit that is likely to fail over time, Brentech throttle bodies are 100-percent engineered and manufactured right here in America from top-grade 356 aluminum castings, which are then CNC-machined to a perfect finish. They also feature die-stamped throttle linkages, double-sealed bearings, and O-ringed throttle shafts. This equals smooth throttle actuation, durability, and great performance, not to mention perfect fitment and more horsepower and torque to the wheels.

     

    How much power? We wanted to find out, so our Brothers Performance team recently installed and tested one on a 1990 5.0 LX Mustang. The high-mileage short-block was equipped with a Ford Racing Performance Parts Cobra intake, Air Flow Research (AFR) 165 Renegade heads, a .550-inch lift camshaft from Comp Cams, BBK long-tube headers and Magnaflow mufflers.

     

    The LX spun the rollers on our Dynojet to a peak of 325 rwhp for a gain of 8 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque for a gain of 8 kb-ft. over the stock TB, but we saw higher gains below the peak. Not bad for about $129.00 and 30 minutes of our time.

Brothers Performance.com stocks a wide range of popular aftermarket components for all types of Mustangs, including the 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6.

    Like its 5.0 Coyote V8 big brother, the 3.7 liter V6 Ford Mustang responds nicely to basic bolt-on modifications, many of which you can do right in your driveway or home garage.

    Couple those bolt-ons with a free-flowing X-pipe and performance mufflers to create a sound that’s perfect for you. And since the 2011-2014 V6 Mustang has an 8.8-inch rear, all the performance ratios from Ford Racing and other manufacturers will give your pony that final kick in the tail. BrothersPerformance.com offers 3.08, 3.27, 3.31, 3.55, 3.73 and 4.10 gears.

     

    Of course, no late-model performance car is complete without a calibrated tune, and Brothers Performance.com offers a variety of hand-held flash tuners for the 3.7L V6. Installing a performance calibration is important whether you’ve modded your Mustang or if you simply want to maximize the stock combination. You can install a performance tune by plugging your tuner into the vehicle diagnostic port and make a variety of adjustments to properly calibrate your Mustang once you’ve installed a cold-air, throttle body, headers, or new gears.

     

    The V6 Mustang is a great option for lots of enthusiasts. You can make them handle, accelerate, personalize them for great looks, you won’t pay as much for insurance and you’ll enjoy excellent fuel economy.

  • Ford Open Doors With EcoBoost Tuning To Gain Power

    Ford Open Doors With EcoBoost Tuning To Gain Power

     

    Ford revolutionized the American performance car (and truck) market in 1999 with the supercharged SVT Lightning. Recognizing the potential of supercharged engines, Ford boosted the ever-popular 2003-2004 Cobra, the Ford GT supercar, and the Shelby GT500—all the way up to 662 horsepower. Ford has now steered away from crank-driven compressors—replacing them with the line-up of EcoBoost engines. Though small in displacement, these I-4 and V-6 turbocharged powerplants provide efficiency and excellent output. In fact, EcoBoost is offered in every high-performance nameplate and Ford Open Doors With EcoBoost Tuning to gain power.

     

    According to Ford, additional horsepower and torque can be accomplished with hand-held programmers that adjust several engine parameters. Adjusting the parameters in the engine control unit (ECU) can result in dramatic gains of up to 90 lb.-ft. of torque in cars like Focus ST. This pairs nicely with items such as throttle bodies, cold-air kits and performance mufflers.

     

    For many owners this relatively simple and affordable tuning trumps traditional forms of modifying, such as installing aftermarket heads and intake manifolds—which are currently not available for EcoBoost engines. Best of all, in many cases fuel economy can be increased. According to Ford, the advent of computer-controlled engines, tuners have begun modifying a vehicle’s original programming for increased engine performance in the areas they choose.

     

    Ford EcoBoost engines are ripe for performance tuning. With technology such as direct injection, variable cam timing and turbocharging, you can greatly increase power and fun factor.

     

    With said tuning, even a novice can increase the output of a Fiesta ST, Focus ST or EcoBoost Mustang with a programming handset from Ford Racing (or other aftermarket suppliers). Ford Racing’s unit are available for Focus ST’s 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine and Fiesta ST’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost (Ford Racing is currently developing custom engine calibrations for the all-new Mustang 2.3-liter EcoBoost), with a product expected on the market by the end of 2015.

     

    Ford Racing offers ProCal generally sells for under $600. They plug into the car’s diagnostic link connector port in the driver’s side footwell and allow you to modify your car’s performance. You can dial-in throttle response characteristics or idle speed, turbo wastegate control, and fuel curves and spark timing to name a few things. Using a Ford Racing tuner maintains the Ford-backed limited warranty.

     

     

    Of course, there are other options, and Ford has committed to working with aftermarket tuning companies to enable the development of high-quality parts and accessories to maximize the performance of Ford vehicles. Aftermarket tuners have been used for decades to offer you a convenient way to increase the power of your vehicle, whether you want a basic tuning upgrade or a complete custom tune. Brothers Performance offers a complete line of hand-held tuners to suit all your performance needs.

     

    Ford tells us it is working with respected turbocharging engine experts from around the world, including Mountune and Full-Race Motorsports. It’s impressive to see that Ford is continuing on with forced-induction performance—it makes us thing even better things are yet to come.
