Default Intro

Just wanted to post and say hi. Last night I upgraded from my 2000 V6 mustang to a 2006 V6 with the pony package. I'll post a pic later but for now I'm at work and they don't let cameras near here.

very nice!

those new 4.0's they're using have been doing great.

I know Justin got one to dyno damn close to what a stock 99-04 GT dynoed at without manny mods. N/A of course.

welcome!

Sweet, I'd like to know what he did to it. I have some money coming and want to add a few horses. The first thing I'll start out with is likely the filter, chip flash, and exhaust. I may add an apexi computer in there as well. Then of course I have the goal of putting a procharger on it in the future.

Check this thread out on v6power.net

http://www.v6power.net/vb/showthread.php?t=25551

Summary:

Stock manual dynoed at 186rwhp and 225rwtq
After mods and a tune 210whp and 248wtq

He Made a custom CAI (just made with scrap parts) He put on a stock GT muffler and tuned it for 93octain.

So he basically paid next to nothing.

Thanks, I have a bit of a decision now. I can mod the engine up to GT power and a bit beyond yes but on the other hand I can hold off on all the V6 mods and drop an engine in it a bit later that could easily go past 500hp when supercharged which is honestly the way I'm starting to lean now. On paper is sounds great but I don't know how that would translate into rwhp

lol if u wanted to drop in a v8...u shoulda kept ur 00 v6 because its not quite worth the money to drop one into a brand new one...

i would do lots of mods to the six and the six can go behond 500rwhp...
