What To Do, Help (Modding)


hows it goin everyone, i drive a 1995 3.8 v6 mustang. i have been hearing alot of arguments over what to do about if you should drop a new engine into it, mod the engine you have now, or save the money you would spend on it and get a new mustang with a better engine. i have just been hearing that a v6 will never be fast. i would really appreciate some input on this. thanks.

theres a million things you can do..
the v6 CAN be fast
you can re-do your internals and get a power pak..and you'll pretty much have a new engine ready FOR ALOT. if you want just about 250-300hp i'd say that, with full bolt ons, 3.90s and t-lok is your best option

Yea, after reading some posts about swapping engines, im just gonna stick with modding the v6. i just got this car a couple of months ago and added some Flowmaster duals. appreciate the tips on the full bolt ons and stuff and if anyone has any more good websites or ideas about modding a v6, that would be cool since im still kinda a newbie at this

forged internals
a power pak
and bolt ons would give you som nice numbers and you'd be able beat the GT's and Cobras of your year most likely if you get some 3.90s or 4.10s

You can make anything fast if you put money into it....but your best option is modding your existing engine.
