I know I should just have a V8...but i'm attached to my V6 and at this moment do not have the money to just buy a V8...

So what i'm looking to do is for any mod suggestions to the engine...anything that will make just a little bit faster than all the stock V6's in my town!

Anyone with expirence...just start me off!

 

Oh and i forgot to add...its a 09' mustang 4.0L

 

Neither of these are actually engine mods, but it'll help get you stared.

Tune + Gears

 

I would go gears + CAI + tune. I've head the CAI's are a pretty effective mod on the new 4.0 v6's

 

Don't forget to get yourself a Posi. They sell them here, and with both rear wheels spinning on your burnouts, you will definately turn the heads of your other V6 owners.
Exhaust would also be a good way to get attention.
The best I would say is when you have enough money. Try this site

Throw one of these on that bad boy, and then you can go play with the GTs.
Or you could lighten the load with a new drivetrain, I'd go aluminum.
But these are just a few things that can really make your V6 a beast.

 

75 shot of nitrous

 

alot of my friends with s197 V6's have done gears, cold air intake, and a tune and have gotten some good results. i recommend also getting a t-lock so you can use both rear tires at once.

 

I have a CAI and a tune and it really helps.

If you do gears do T-lok at the same time. I dont have gears yet but i know someone who put some in his 6 and they are sweet.

If you do gears or CAI no matter what you will need a tunner

I'm not exactly and expert here and have never tuned a car, i looked at the tuner on AM and it seems pretty straight forward to use, but is it easy to use and how does it work?!?

And thanks for the other posts, i well start with the intake and move to the gears and then maybe save for a year and get that super charger!

 

It is very simple, but i would recomend getting it in a combo with a CAI from vmptuning.com. Justin does a really good custom tune for our cars. The intructions that come with it on how to load the tune are great and detailed so you dont mess anything up. The tuner plugs in on the inside of the car under the steering wheel just to the left of it. There is a port right there.

 

First mod for you should be a tuner/CAI combo for sure. Best bang for your buck minus nitrous on the 05+ cars.

Tuners are simple to use and come with good directions. You can't really screw it up with installing a tune with a hand held tuner. If you can follow directions on a screen and press some buttons you can install a tune with a hand held tuner.
