A Ford dealership in Ohio is offering customers a
potent package for the Ecoboost-powered 2015-2017 Mustang that lifts power to
550 hp.
Offered through Lebanon Ford, the package can be
fitted to any new Mustang Ecoboost, bringing the total price for the muscle car
up to US$ 32,995. The existing owners can have the kit installed for US$ 7,600.
To deliver 240 hp more than a stock EcoBoost-powered
Mustang, the kit includes an enlarged Borg-Warner turbocharger, a bigger
intercooler and a Cobb Accessport that flashes the ECU. The dealership
recommends this upgrade kit being complemented by the optional US$ 1,995 EcoBoost
Performance Package that includes additional cooling, distinct chassis tuning
and larger wheels.
When a modified Mustang is outfitted with drag
radials, Lebanon Ford says it should be capable of running a quarter mile
between 11.2 and 11.7 seconds. Perhaps the only downside of the upgrade package is
that it voids the car’s factory powertrain warranty.
