looks... check. power... ehhh. help lol
i finally bought a mustang. its a V6.(first car cant complain). ive already put money into the looks (stripes,rims,mach 1 chin spoiler,billit accesories for the interior, dual exhaust, sequential tailights.) now ive got around 600$ to play with on getting some more horses any suggestions? :D
|
4.10 gears and a t-lok
or nitrous |
i think ill pass on the nitrous but how much power gain will i be seeing and around how much would that cost? (kindve new to this sorta thing)
|
Rear end gears and a t-lok won't add any power but they will make you accelerate faster the gears work as a torque multipler and the t-lok sends power to both wheels so you don't have 1 wheel burnouts
another good idea would be to get a flash tuner which would be neccesary if you got the gears nitrous if used correctly is very safe you could run a 75 shot (75hp) on your car without really doing harm lots of people do it and it is hands down the most bang you can get for your buck nitrous can be had for around 600 for gears t-lock and tune you are looking at closer to 1000 |
what about a cold air intake? would that give more power or is it a waste of money?

If you're pretty new to the car stuff, just stay away from nitrous until you've researched..
I'd rather not be the guy that told some dude to buy a nitrous kit and hook it up..then the guy does it inocorrectly and his shit blows up due to an open solenoid or something.. CAI is worthless, just spend $50 for a K&N filter Gears/Tlok is nice, but if you don't know how to install them, then its going to cost you some more $$ for the install. With gears/tlok you need a $400 tuner to correct the speedo, you'll get power from the tuner.. Gears/Tlok/Master bearing kit will run you atleast 600, install, well, probably another 400+ dollars. So theres 1400 after gears/tlok/bearing kit/tuner My best recommendation: save that money, learn what works and doesn't work as far as adding power goes, and then start modifying the engine. |

k&n air filter and remove the silencer it just blocks air flow

yes and you don't have to but i'm sure everyone will recommend you to
Yes a K&N filter is going to do the same thing an air intake will.. |
thanks alot i appreciate all of your guys help. i think ill just stick to a K&N filter and save some money then wait off until i do the gears and t lok and the tuner

The basic fact is that the v6 cars don't respond to bolt on's very much at all. If you want some cheap ones that will do some good then an under drive pulley set is a great idea. And they do add some solid power. While CAI do very little, they are so cheap ($35 on ebay) and I would just do it for the hell of it. But really if you want to go faster with this small motor you need either nitrous,turbo/supercharger, or heavy internal engine mods, like more compression and stroking the motor etc...
|
Basically just save your money.....keep to looks. Or get nitrous/turbo.
|
yea im sure the officer would understand a 17 year cruising around town doing 50 in a 35 speed zone haha.and what exactly does an underdrive pully do? and how much are we talking?
|
UDPs are good for 5-10 and what they do is free up some horsepower that is used to run the AC and other stuff. they don't totally eliminate the accesories it just gives them less power
so your AC or heat wouldn't quite blow as hard |
thanks for the info dude.

exactly. You can just save some money and guess how fast you're going. I'm sure the nice officer will tell you how much you were doing lol

can i have some info where the silencer is located in the intake and will it have negative effects if i remove it thanks

On the airbox where the air filter is at. There is a rubber piece that connects to it and goes into the fender. This simply rips right off and lets more air in the motor and makes it a bit louder too.
