This package combines the massive Whipple Mega Cooler intercooler, a high-flow replacement air filter, and an all-new calibration to deliver stronger power, refined drivability, and consistent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Whipple Mega Cooler provides 214% greater volume and 259% more projected frontal area than stock for class-leading cooling. Bar-and-plate construction with offset fins on both the hot and cold sides dramatically reduces charge temperatures, showing approx. 70 deg F drops on the dyno and even larger reductions during steady-state torture testing. Colder, denser air improves spark advance and helps the engine make reliable, repeatable power pull after pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Whipple's Ford calibration team for 91+ octane, the Stage 1 tune adds up to +50 HP under the curve, +40 HP at peak rpm, and approx. +90 lb-ft at approx. 3000 rpm*. The calibration refines the shift schedule, raises RPM shift points, sharpens pedal mapping, and disables auto start\/stop. All factory drive modes remain intact. The Whipple flash tool simplifies updates and supports DTC read and erase, live data, and advanced logging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eKey Features\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUp to +50 HP under the curve and +40 HP peak*\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApprox. +90 lb-ft torque at approx. 3000 rpm*\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e214% greater core volume vs. stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e259% more frontal area vs. stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApprox. 70 deg F temperature drop on dyno and 100 deg F+ during steady-state testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast high-flow end tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable bar-and-plate construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffset fin design for maximum efficiency on both hot and cold sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalibration optimized for 91+ octane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpdated shift schedule and higher RPM shift points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImproved pedal mapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuto start\/stop disabled and gear indicator enabled in Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncreased speed limiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 3.5 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50-State Legal:\u003c\/strong\u003e CARB EO D-231-147\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Explorer hybrid version is not compatible.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Power ratings with 93 octane.
