How can I get more horsepower in my 1997 v6 mustang?

Is there any trick I can do to get more horsepower?

Steamboat 16 · February 9th, 2007, 12:39 AM

what kind of a budget are we working with?

justinsstang · February 9th, 2007, 12:41 AM

i looked at a 3.8 "stroked" to a 4.2 earlier with 638 hp. thats pretty much top of the line

00stang · February 9th, 2007, 08:49 AM

take the air intake silencer off it will give it a little more pep and a little louder it won't be huge but it makes a diffrence hope that helps

Replace your air filter with a k&n one, that only like 20 bucks

The trick to more power is more money. What kind of numbers do you want to put down?

DeathScythe95 · February 9th, 2007, 09:11 PM

you can do what someone told me to do with a pre99 mustang model and thats get a split port swap. adds 40 hp which gets you up to the 99 and up v6 mustang model stock hp then go from there like bolt ons, upgrade ur internals, all that jazz. eventually a turbo or supercharger. that will get you up there. thats my plan. all it takes is how much money you want to spend

+1......speed cost, how fast do you want to go

Redline · February 9th, 2007, 09:25 PM

how much money would it cost to go 0-60mph in low 6s ?

DeathScythe95 · February 9th, 2007, 09:27 PM

I have a 97 V6 pony. I did a MAC cold air intake and Flowmaster super 40 series dual exhaust. Also I just bought the pulley upgrade set from MAC. I am kicking out between 240-270 horsepower just by doing some bolt on upgrades. Good luck I hope you enjoy your pony as much as I do.

GreenFaleen · February 9th, 2007, 10:14 PM

A tuner
UD pullies
exhaust
and gears and tlok you'll be in the 6's

240-270 hp just by those upgrades?

what does exhaust do when it only adds 5hp? and what are and how much do UD pullies add to hp ?

oh yea and if I just got 4:10 gears and tlok would that do it ?

ckthecerealkiller · February 9th, 2007, 11:55 PM

OMG is anyone going to actually answer anything. Hate to break it to you but a stock 94-98 v6 has a high 9's 0-60. I'd look into a twin turbo setup.....

Oh and

I'd give you 165 if you have me pushing you from behind.

DeathScythe95 · February 10th, 2007, 12:05 AM

man, for a 94-98 model, get the split port swap first so ur up to speed with the 99 and up v6's then look into that turbo setup

exhasut will help the engine breath better.

gears won't add power but will up your acceleration a lot. Pullies add I think 10-15 horses I could be wrong though. Go ahead and get a cheap CAI too I forgot that. The split port conversion is also a good idea but is pricey

DeathScythe95 · February 10th, 2007, 12:20 AM

the split port swap is pricey but worth it for the hp you get out of it if u dont want to spend the money on a more current mustang

GreenFaleen · February 10th, 2007, 12:26 AM

oh yeah it is worth it but I'm not sure if he is planning on that much power a 6 sec. 0-60 isn't that hard to achieve.
