The Quest for More Power - adding ID1000 injectors and a custom tune

Overall, I was very happy with the Procharger "canned" tune for my 2013 Mustang GT A6.  One thing to note, the Procharger Phase 2 is the only centrifugal kit I could find that included an A6 tune in the kit.  Paxton and Vortech did not offer this feature.

The car was an absolute beast on the street with the Procharger tune, with one exception.  The 47 lb/hr injectors included in the kit are undersized for the application.  To make up for this, Procharger retains the stock 6800 pm redline, meaning you fall out of the powerband on upshifts on the A6.

I contacted Shaun from AED to perform a custom dyno tune on my car, and purchased a set of ID1000 injectors from Teambeefcakeracing  Shaun would not tune anything other than ID injectors, so I went with his advice.

My good friend Frank trailered my car down to Shaun's shop, a 10+ hour round trip from Medford

The car in the shop, awaiting dyno tuning

The car initially put down 542 horsepower @ 6875 rpm and 431 ft lbs @ 5575 rpm, very peaky.

After dyno tuning, the car put down 561 horsepower @ 6975 rpm and 453 ft lbs @ 5500 rpm.  More impressive, the car gained an additional 1,000 rpm of powerband, made huge gains under the curve, and now makes 100 more ft lbs of torque on the 1-2 upshift due to the increase in powerband.

Overall I am very happy with Shaun's work, the car is insane to drive on the street now.  At the track, my previous best at 3800' DA was 12.0 @ 118 mph.  With Shaun's tune, the car has gone 11.56 @ 125, gaining 7 mph and dropping 5 tenths in the 1/4 mile.  Altitude corrected, this puts the car in the low 11's at nearly 130 mph.  Pretty cool!

LCA Relocation Bracket Install

Gaining Traction After Lowering the Car - LCA Relocation Brackets Did the Trick

After lowering my 2013 Mustang GT, I realized that the car is capable of spinning the tires in 1st gear at any speed.  Prior to lowering, this was not an issue.

I wound up choose Whiteline LCA relocation brackets, based on feedback on forums.  They are reasonably priced, and made a big difference in traction.

Here are the brackets with the installation hardware provided.

Although ground clearance looks to be an issue, since the relocation brackets are inline with the rear wheels, it does not pose a problem.

Procharging my 2013 Mustang GT

After evaluating different options for modding my 2013 Mustang GT, it became clear that forced induction would provide the best bang for the buck.

Engine cover removed, "before" pic

Front clip removed, making progress

While the front clip was removed, I added a GT500 upper and lower grille to improve cooling/airflow

Added a Roush gauge pod with an Autometer boost gauge.  I went with the 0-15 psi gauge.

Coils exposed, prior to the install I swapped to 1 step colder NGK plugs

Old plugs removed and numbered, going with 7.5 psi of boost I wound up going 1 step colder on the spark plugs.

Procharger P1SC, still in the box

Procharger neatly labels each package in the box.  Each package corresponds to a different step in the install process, pretty awesome.

Procharger provides color instructions, which make the install much easier.

The finished product, you can see the new coolant degas tank provided in the Procharger kit

Finished adding 200+ horsepower with a simple bolt on!
