WAIT, DID WE PUT A WHIPPLE ON A BRONCO?
Nope! But we did install their newest EcoBoost offering. For years, Whipple has offered upgraded intercoolers, intakes & calibrations for the EcoBoost platform (they aren't all just superchargers, they just like BOOST in general!) so of course they had to get their foot into the Broncos as well.
The 2021+ Ford F150s and Broncos present an issue with tuning right now, as the PCM is pretty much locked up tight. However, with Whipple's awesome relationship with the guys over at Ford & their calibration team, Dustin and the Whipple team are able to bring you upgraded calibrations for these new, secure vehicles making them the FIRST and ONLY (right now) company being able to tune the 2021+ Bronco and F150 (oh and did we mention they are 50 STATE LEGAL?!).

When Dustin from Whipple Superchargers called us and told us he had a calibration ready to go for our 2021 First Edition Bronco 2.7L, we jumped on it! But before loading the calibration, we wanted to make sure to get some baseline numbers to see what improvements the tune gave us.

While the truck was stock, we decided to not only toss it on the dyno to get some stock horsepower numbers, but we also did some testing (in Mexico) with a Dragy.

On the dyno, the Bronco put down 253rwhp / 318rwtq. It's not breaking any horsepower records but that's not really what these trucks were built for, anyways.

With the quick Dragy test, we saw a 2.53 60' and a 0-60mph time of 7.51 seconds. Again, not breaking any records but this truck was meant to crawl rocks, not fly.
Now it was time to load up the Whipple Bronco calibration and see what she could do! First test: the dyno.

With the Whipple calibration, our Bronco made 312rwhp / 400rwtq. That is over 50rwhp and over 80rwtq increase from just a TUNE. We're impressed.
Next up, we wanted to see what the Dragy was going to tell us about the new tune.

The results from the Dragy were a 2.14 60' and a 6.99 second 0-60mph time. We picked up half a second in the 0-60mph and almost the same in our 60'. We'll take it.
Overall, with just the calibration from Whipple Superchargers on our 2.7L Bronco, the results are awesome. Whipple is finishing up their new intercoolers for these trucks and we'll definitely be putting one on ASAP to complete our Whipple Stage 1 setup.
