currently i have a 2002 V6 auto. stock as can be. i have a list of things i want to do but i would like to have some help on what to do in what order or some other parts i should get.....

springs to lower it 1-1 1/4in.
cold air intake
gears 4.10 or 3.73 idk what ones to pick u tell me.
Venom VCN 1000 Nitrous Kit.
side exhaust ill have to do this far from now i dont have the money for a hole new exhaust system.
Throttle Body.

 

gernally auto's <3 4.10's and 3.73's are better for a manual


you can go with some bolt onts to get your feet wet

then choose a poweradder and go from there

i've seen bolt on v6's with 100shot go 13's easy

 

Go to Les Schwab and get some rims and tires and have them lower it for you. Youll get the warranty plus free balancing and rotation.

 

what bolts are we talking here??

 

i got a little hook up at this one place so very basic stuff i can get for pretty cheep and i think they will do balancing and rotation for me for free.

 

hpipe catback, CAI gears tlok and spray i think took my buddy 13.9

 

"tlok"????

 

traction lock, ford's posi

 

yea, there are a couple guyz on 3.8 that are doin high to mid 13's with juice and bolt ons...

but if you want bang for the buck quickly, i'd say the Gear and tune is pretty damn near the top of the list... nothing is guna beat the Nitrous though money wise, but save the lowering for when you get rims, that way it'll all be done at the same time. Also lowerin springs actually hinder you at the track...

i'd put the list as:

-~$700 (thats with install and gears and kit)- 4.10 & Xcal2 (the xcal will help with your auto, and u need it if your guna do gears for the speedo)

- $25-70 - Intake from either EBAy or MTing, (i got the MTing one and it's great for 70 bucks, cleans up the engine bay and helps in cooler weather)

- $530 + install 600-650 all said and done) - if your guna go with Side exhaust I got SpinTech Side Exhaust and Love it!, scapes when you lower the car, but it's the price you pay for lookin good and sounding great... for just a catback and no other work it sounds DAMN good...)

- $700 with kit and good install price - if your still serious about power though the Juice will be your best bet... just make sure you know what your doing and have someone who know's install it...

 

you can get a nitrous kit thats safe for 400buck used with everything you need.

 

were can i get one of these from? all the ones i have seen are for a 8.8? i need one that will fit my 2002 v6.

and what exhaust system are u talking about for $530 the one from SpinTech is only 490 or are u including shipping?

 

where can i get a xcal 2 from and for how much?

 

Mustangtuning sells them... they have a gear and tuner package... I believe it's like $500 something...

 

i just checked and all that i see for a 4.10 are for a 8.8

 

are u plannin on buyin them right now? if so, then pm Shambles, tell him your interested in the Gear and Tuner package, but want gears for a 3.8 V6... and see what he says. You probably also wana go with a t-loc if your guna go into your differential, you can find one at www.RPM-outlet.com and i think www.Fordracingperformance.com carry's them also... check both those sites...

 

im going to wait a little while ill buy an intake first or something cheep and then start saving up the 700-800 dollars for the posi, gears, and the tunner.

 

i would think the best to start with would be tlok and gears.

get both those wheels smoking

 

yeah but thats 700 bucks after install and tune

 

im not so into spending 700 for my first mod im going to do some things like cold air intake and tint again (parents had the first one taken off).
