Evolution Performance 700 HP 2011 Mustang Whipple Kit Install and Feedback

[taylor_reid]

First off, I would like to thank Fred Cook at Evolution Performance for getting me set up right. The guy rocks, great customer service and great communication on this big $$ purchase.

As far a tech feedback/info here ya go:

The install went very smoothly and took my buddy and I about 7 hours or less and thats with some a substantial amount of bs'ing and a pizza break. He happens to be a tech at Apple Vally Ford so he was anxious to get this done. He also tunes here in MN at APS His feedback was that he is extremely impressed with the kit, the install was very straight forward and the finished product is factory appearing which I really wanted.

The actual kit is a very well designed kit which is all pretty much plug and play. You do have to do some repinning of wires along with soldering one wire, but no big deal really. The intructions were dead nuts on and all I can say about the install is that everything is very well engineered and layed out.

There's one shitty part of the install that isnt fun and that includes clearancing the front cover. However, we made short work of that by marking the material to be removed with a sharpie and getting the grinder out. See pics below.

I still have to install the Stainless Works 1 7/8" headers and X pipe along with the L&M dual 62mm TB.

I hope to be heading to my local dyno soon, maybe this weekend and I will report back with final numbers.

I got two tunes from Evolution:
93 Octane "cam" tune
93 Octane Agressive tune

Driveability is great and the car fired right up and did what it was supposed to do.

Driving the car is like driving on marbles, so Im sure I will be investing in a drag radial soon.

Let me know if you guys have any questions about the install and I would be happy to give you some help or answers.

Here's the finished product.




Front cover to be clearanced


Grinding away


Installing the lower. Piece of cake...


New spark plugs going in. NGK Iridiums gapped at .030








The car. Rides on FRPP K springs

What suspension is on that car?

did you miss where he said "FRPP K Springs"

 

[TimMcc]

That would be Ford Racing K Springs, BBR Billett LCA, BMR upper and BMR adjustable panhard bar.

Boy, this thread need serious cleansing.

Power-flat-wot shifting, tuning misinformation crap, bugattis, dear Lord.

The OP started a really nice thread but it quickly filled of crap, egos and pissing contest.

 

[stkjock]

Thread cleaned up


To all the fucktards who engaged in the off topic bullshit arguing - next time don't - to those who saw it and added little quips - next time report the BS in tech and don't contribute to it.

TIA for your co-operation.

New update:

I received a new L&M TB from Fred at Evolution and this one works as it should right out of the box. The other one had some clearence issues from the mfg and the car did not like it and would go into limp mode.

Now I need to find the time to swap the long tubes on and get back to the dyno.

Thanks again go to Evolution/Fred for working with me on that TB.

I knew it wasn't the tune, we've done to many.

Guess so. Problem?

 

[TimMcc]

Back to the dyno tomorrow.

Updates to combo are:

Dual 66mm L&M Throttle Body
Stainless Works 1 7/8" Long Tubes
3" OR X Pipe

Car baselined at 538rwhp and 485rwtq.
Will be same tune, same boost and same dyno and the weather will be within a few degrees from this initial session.

 

[Bad Intention]

Looking forward to see the diff. with LT's. Im installing Procharger Stage2 that i got from Evolution.

 

[VTXFrank]

Guess so. Problem?

Yeah it's a problem. Learn how to read. You always such a prick to moderators on forums?

 

[TimMcc]

Pretty damn close to advertised hp...

Update:

Got the Stainless Works 1 7/8'' Long Tubes and 3" X pipe installed along with the new L&M dual 66mm tb.

Baseline run shown as well.

I'm pretty happy where it's at now. Fun car.

Got 25.4 mpg cruising down to the dyno 45 miles away.

 

[mixxer]

Not to shabby !

 

[TimMcc]

Oh, if it means anything it was actually 90 degrees in the shop, baseline run was at 73 degrees.

 

[Evolution Performance]

Awesome, glad you're happy with the results. If you pulled it to 7,500 RPM it would break 600 RWHP.

 

[TimMcc]

Thanks again for all the support Fred, you were there anytime I had a question. Thats huge!

 

[TimMcc]

Only vid I got today...I may need some drag radials. Car spun bad on the first pull. Got to sit in the trunk.

That L&M is a work of art that performs flawlessly! Good choice!

On they dynograph, Is that belt slip at the top or spark blowout or knocks going off or just pulling timing to detune it a bit?

The tb really is a work of art.

Honestly couldn't answer your question man. Maybe someone smart could??

Something is going on up there. I thought maybe they would have informed you exactly what it was.
Most likely it's timing being pulled. The a/f looks too stable for it to be anything else.
