As many of you know, Livernois Motorsports started hitting the EcoBoost Mustang hard right from the minute we received our car. Being the First production EB Mustang in the 12's, and then the first to the 11's was no small feat. After reaching these milestones we started concentrating developing our other parts and pieces for the EB Mustang, and of course customer's builds and our products for the other vehicles we support as well.
Earlier this year, we decided to help create, and sponsor the first ever EcoBoost Battle at the NMRA Bowling Green World Finals. We originally did this without the intent of bringing any company cars. Being a company that firmly puts our customers first, it wasn't until less than 2 weeks prior to the event that we decided to give it a go with our prototype version of our Turbo Upgrade we were working on. Unfortunately, the timing just wasn't there to get it completed with Dan Millen having to attend to other matters at the same time as the race, so we decided to take the car to showcase our work so far, and then begin working on it again afterwards.
With The EcoBoost Battle in the record books, we decided to start working on validation of the core components of our Windstorm Turbo Upgrade system on our car. We decided the world was ready to see what we were working on and showcased our turbo upgrade as a new product at SEMA. After winning an international award for product design, we came back from SEMA ready to track test our new upgrade package, and Today was that day.
At a little after 2pm today, we reset the World Record for EcoBoost performance. Not only sporting the world's quickest EcoBoost Mustang, it's also the world's quickest EcoBoost powered vehicle. But more importantly, this is no purpose built race car, just an upgraded street car, just as our car has always been.
This Record setting run ended up being a 10.88@122.91 and was achieved with the following upgrades:
Livernois Motorsports Windstorm Turbo Upgrade kit featuring a Precision Turbo 58/58 Ball Bearing Turbo
Livernois Motorsports Snowstorm methanol injection system
Livernois Motorsports Snowstorm Intercooler upgrade
Livernois Motorsports Pro-Series Shortblock
17" Drag wheel/tire combo
What's even more impressive is the list of items we did NOT upgrade, as this car had the following stock parts:
Suspension
Gear
Posi
Axles
Driveshaft
Injectors
Fuel System
Map Sensor
Brakes
Interior (less Passenger seat)
Radio and Navigation
Next step, maybe a little bit of nitrous to see what that nets us when added to this record setting combo
Video to follow, but for now, feast your eyes on the time slip
