This package combines the massive Whipple Mega Cooler intercooler, a high-flow replacement air filter, and a custom 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. Its 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 greater improvements during steady-state testing. Colder, denser air improves spark advance, enhances oxygen delivery, and provides more reliable power under demanding conditions. Cast aluminum end tanks promote high flow while maintaining low pressure drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Whipple's Ford calibration team for 91+ octane, the Stage 1 tune adds up to +60 HP and +80 lb-ft*. The calibration refines the shift schedule, raises RPM shift points, sharpens pedal mapping, disables auto start\/stop, and enables the gear indicator in Drive. All factory drive modes remain intact. The Whipple flash tool simplifies tuning 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 +60 HP \/ +80 lb-ft*\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.
