throttle body for the 3.8L
Hello all, new to the site. Just bought my first Mustang. Its a 2000 Coupe with the V-6 3.8L. I am interested in adding a throttle body to boost horsepower and didn't see it in the parts section. Anyone know which one I need? Part number or any other identifying numbers would be helpful. Thanks for helping out a newbie.

Don't get one. it will be completely ineffective on your vechicle. Tell us what you want to do with your car, what you are looking to get out of it, and what your budget is, and we will give you a list of useful mods to help you out. Also auto or manual tranny?

well to answer his question you can get a bbk 65mm t-body thats about it.
but a t body does you no good on a six untill higher HP applications AKA forced induction. but you can get like 5 hp from one. |

honestly its not worth doing it right now. It is a type of mod that is used much later in the modding process, it's not worth the money either

Well, the engine is all stock right now and I want to start the process of providing more power and give the engine a nice look so when you pop the hood you see lots of chrome and just a good looking engine plus performance and power. That's my intent.
|
I forgot to write that it is a auto tranny.
|
what's your budget?
if you want power, turbo the car. find out what works best with the turbo and only get that stuff. |

Give us a budget, and what type of racing, if any you would like your car to be oriented around. |
I haven't really thought much about a budget yet. Can you suggest a good supplier for the turbos, superchargers and intercoolers?

racing
I don't know where all of you live that answered my questions, and that doesn't matter because I don't want to be nosey, but the racing thing got my attention. I've been thinking about that. If anybody lives in or knows about Illinois, or maybe that doesn't matter. What kind of racing can an amatuer do with a car like mine that's been modified just enough to race but still be street legal?
