2006 Steeda Q525 Mustang

Light Weight & Top Performance

One looks tells you this is a serious performance car, with its new for 2006 light weight, competition front facia equipped with functional brake cooling ducts. These ducts feed cool air to the 14” Steeda front brakes of the Q 525. At the rear the new Steeda designed, engineered and manufactured rear sway bar with billet end links improves handling and rear compliance.

The heart of the Q 525 is a Magna Charger 5th Generation MP112 hybrid roots style supercharger with internal bypass valve. The supercharger provides instantantanious boost from 1,200 to 6,000 rpm. The unique valve is responsible in eliminating parasitic drag from the crank shaft to the supercharger.

The Eaton internal rotating assembly components are durability tested to OEM standards and are accepted by Ford Motor Company. The same assembly as used in the Cobra, Lightning and Jaguar XJR.

Working with Magnuson Products, Steeda engineers created an intercooled system as well as a specific tune for the Q 525, resulting in a very impressive 500 horsepower with 530 ft. lbs torque.

The suspension dynamics of the Q525 are in keeping with the Steeda Autosports tradition of designing, engineering and manufacturing quality suspension systems that are competition proven. In addition, they are constructed to strict Steeda quality standards and are precision engineered for both improved ride quality and the finest street and track performance.
