Bruce2009KR Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Many said the KR really should have come with this TVS and said I "really should do it." With the recent Thanksgiving Day sales, I pulled the trigger. The VMP "kit" came with 67mm throttle bodies, a tune, a 90mm idler, and I was encouraged to get the 56 lb injectors and fuel pump booster. Hopefully this will be a welcomed addition! Now I worry what other "must do" things will creep in! Control Arms? One piece drive shaft? Heat exchanger?? Open to all comments and or suggestions. Thanks.

twobjshelbys Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Well, pretty much you can set aside the lead foot shoes and just wear regular sneakers Heat exchanger next. You'll need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all that add on`s that might be just enough H.P to twist that two piece drive shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I've got the FRPP TVS on my KR and love it I would suggest that you take it easy if your running the stock clutch. I also added the '14 GT500's cf ds. Those two changes really transformed it into a much better performance car. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiaCobra Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Does that change out really require a new tune ? Heard conflicting things about the aggressive tune already installed from Shelby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08krrick Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 FRPP TVS DOES NOT NEED A NEW TUNE. SEE PREVIOUS POSTS FROM 2 TO 3 YEARS AGO ON THIS SUBJECT. I RUN THE FRPP AND IT IS GREAT ON THE KR TUNE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbypt Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 The KR tune is 99% identical to the ProCal tune and the differences are insignificant. Both tunes are good for the TVS, throttle body and a little smaller pulley, 2.65 is the most I would go based on what Ive seen. I wouldnt add the injectors to this without a new tune though. The VMP tune works well too, but it turns off a lot and wont pass inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009MustangGT500KR Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Ever got the install completed? Which tune did you end up with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the delay in responding! I did get it all done and it's a totally different animal! It's VMP's 820hp kit with a Gen 2R TVS and I used VMP for the tune and said conservative was fine as I'm 58 this year and don't plan on too many all-out races. She hit 660 whp on the dyno and I'm confident I could get it higher but I'm okay with that power--believe me! I have Dynatech LT 1 7/8" tubes, Borla Touring Mufflers (the stock system was SO loud after all this work I couldn't stand it!) which sound Fantastic to me. I went with a 2.5 pulley and stock lower 67mm TB, 56 lb injectors, JLT 123, BAP, Afco Heat Exchanger, McLeod RXT, DSS one piece driveshaft, BMR upper and lowers, Sway Bar, new spark plugs and 93 octane gas. Stock KR rear of 3:73 I am running Michelin Pilot AS3 tires on stock rims. It will break the tires loose at 60mph if I stomp it so one has to be VERY careful with this kind of power. The neat thing about this monster is that you don't need to race it; the power is felt and stares and compliments come each time it's on the road. I love it. What I don't love is watching the gas gauge drop faster than ever (12 mpg or so) ! Edited May 15, 2018 by Bruce2009KR Clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_KR Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Update on mine. Added the FR TVS with Procal back in 2012, and while there was a slight bump, I wasn't completely satisfied. And over these past number of years, I always wanted to have the guys at AED wake it up some, and that day happened this past week. The car remains completely stock relative to throttle body, pulley, exhaust etc. and I wanted to stay on the conservative side with the tune and available 91 octane pump gas here in California. Drew installed the new injectors, then it was time for Shaun to do what he does. 605 rwhp 589 rwtq 1000rpm increase from previous redline of 6250 to 7250 Shaun also said reaching 200 mph is achievable. (although the last 20-25mph would take a while due to aerodynamics limits, as the car, in his words, is a brick) Suffice to say, I am thrilled considering the conservative approach we took.

2009MustangGT500KR Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I know this thread is old but...I was able to locate a brand new FRPP TVS and am looking to get this installed.

Tasca has plenty of experience and the Tasca install invoice will carry some cache to collectors. Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009MustangGT500KR Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Thank you, Steven. I will most likely go that route. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
