Hey, just wanted to introduce myself to the forums. I have a blue 2000 v6 mustang. Right now I am getting BBK CAI, BBK Throttle body, Mac Catback exhaust, and ASP 25% underdrive pulley. With these four things added will I feel a difference in performance? Any suggestions on what to get next? Thanks and I hope to see you all around!

 

milk, if i were you i'd not do those mods just yet. what do you want out of your car? i'd go with gears and a tune personally, because you feel the most gains in acceleration. i was building a sixer at one point, and it can be long and exhausting (like my johnson) and very expensive.

the cai, throttle body, and exhaust make almost no power, its really just for sound. the pullys may free up some horsepower a little on the low end of the curve.

i'd go to 3.8mustang.com to do some research. a friend of mine has a s/c 3.8 mustang and is giving v8 a run for there money.

 

Ok, I was thinking of going for gears next. Would gears, tlok, and tune run me about $1000 with installation?

 

by t-lock, i'm assuming you mean a limited slip differential, and not a transmission lock, right?? so you spin both wheels??

honestly, if i were you, i'd find a used 8.8" rear from an 94-04 mustang GT. don't use one from a fox body because they are 3/4" shorter on each side and will effect stability a bit. you can find one WITH gears for $200 if you are paitient. it already comes with an LSD. thats what i did. any shop can pretty much just swap out the rear. while you are at it you can also have them replace the axles with aluminum ones.

you'll need a tune no matter which you do so you can re calibrate your speedometer.

either option will cost about $1000, however i would try and acumulate a little more. when i had my rear end replaced, the shop ran into some snags and had to replace the abs sensors on both sides of the new one. also, they were like "do u want stainless steel brake lines?" and i was like "yes!! more shiney new mods!!!" so i spent more then i was expecting, but i was ready for it.

 

T-lok or traction lock is Ford's name for their posi unit.

 

oh, good info!!

 

HiYo

 

pics?

 

Yeah I'll get pics up as soon as possible. It's very stock right now, so not much to look at.

 

its ok... im stock n proud.

 

gross don't say that.

 

lol ide be upgraded and proud too buy my wallet isnt proud.. i dont care if i have 1million or 1thousand hp im happy having a mustang...

 

lol

 

Hmm..
So If I wanted...I could find an 8.8 inch rear off of an 94-98 gt and slap it on my 96 for pretty cheap?

 

You have to look really hard but it can be done

 

definetly. you can use any rear from a 95-04. and you can leave it in your garage and build it up little buy little with new axles and brakes if you wanted too.

 

found one but it seems alittle fishy

like it's to good of a deal

that looks like too much of a pain, i think i would rather stick with my stock one

 

Finally got some pics up. Basically stock all around.

 

Nice clean looking stang man!

 

like the true blue!! get some stainless steel inserts for the bumper and you'll be set!!
