For IMMEDIATE Release - May 7, 2012
When Chris Cruz, just like many of us, had a "need" to have the fastest 2011 5.0L Mustang in the world. We all know that to accomplish this task it takes some major horsepower, a wide array of performance parts, and some excellent workmanship to make it all happen. Enlisting the assistance of Evolution Performance, they developed a 1,002 RWHP / 1,070 RWTQ performance behemoth that would most certainly provide the huge amount of raw power needed to propel the 'Stang into the 8 second range with a run of 8.99 at 153 MPH!
Suffice to say, having over 1,000 RWHP presents quite a few issues when you pull the trigger and release ALL of that intense power at one time to blast down the quarter mile. When it came to sourcing the very best suspension parts to harness that power - Evolution Performance chose suspension components from Steeda Autosports - parts that are renown for their durability both on the street and on the track. For this extreme duty application, the following regular Steeda production parts were chosen by Evolution Performance as they knew they would stand up to the extreme torture that they would be subjected to:
- Mustang Street Adjustable Upper 3rd Link (P/N 555 4112)
- Mustang Heavy Duty Upper Chassis Mount (P/N 555 4027)
- Mustang Upper Strut Mount Kit (P/N 555 8120)
- Mustang Billet Lower Control Arm with Spherical Bearings (P/N 555 4406)
In additional to harnessing all of the power - we all know that weight is the enemy of Mustang performance - and to save precious pounds from the front-end, Evolution Performance installed our Steeda Lightweight Radiator Support (P/N 555 5080) which is made for light 4130 Chrome moly steel material. This quality manufactured tubular part is 50% of the weight of the stock steel unit and yet is still strong enough for you to run your front swaybar when not at the drag strip! In fact, this item is the perfect item for the road course/autocross car to reduce front-end weight and improve weight distribution.
Note that these are not some special "racer only" parts or parts that were specially "one-off" fabricated parts - they are the regular production quality parts that we designed, manufactured, and sell daily to Mustang owners over the world. Proof that the quality that we instill into EVERY part we provide!
