wow u sound like me, when got ma 96 , until i got booked doing 96 in 60 zone (y) and the officer wrote 75 in 60 and said he know the feeling from now on keep it down on streets
i got lucky

good luck! , dont do stupidity
Now i rather have a fast accelerating car, then a car that goes really fast!(i let go of the accelerator pedal at 60)


to the point.
gears 4.10. posi tlock, detroit(chose your poison) open the exhaust with h pipe wid what ever exhaust u like(youtube it), that should give u a nice kick.

with 5 grands take it to a shop and say u want this engine with full bolt on's
me smart b4 u get rip off lol

Thank you. I think the OPs needs a tune put in where it limits his speed to 65.

[nuStang]

I would say if you have $5000, just save some more (maybe sell the one you have) and get a v8... Believe me, I have a sixer


(edit): On the other hand, considering your track record... maybe not

-supercharger
-T Lock and gears.
-Fuel mods

start with this.

exhaust will be needed, like a mid/catback. You will also need subframe connectors so the frame doesn't twist.

Stock internals are good around 320-350rwhp with a good tune.

So heres the deal, im a senior in high school, i make 8.25 an hour at maybe 20 hours a week in the winter...But i know i could get more hours if i wanted. Anyways, i need suggestions for power. I read that bolt ons dont really increase hp all that much. Should i go from a 3.8 to a 4.2? How much will that cost? I dont want to spend more than $5,000. Could a stock v6 handle a supercharger? Or a turbo? Please let me know anything you know to help.

Another thing that you could consider is selling your mustang and buy a 99-00 GT I keep watching those for 4k-5,500, insurance at times will be the same as a v6 or go up a little bit like 20-30 bucks. But all depends on how much your v6 is worth if its worth a little I say bolt ons if it worths more than 4k then I say GT.

[843marc]

take 5k and buy a gt and keep v6 as daily

[brianm4289]

wtf type of bolt ons are all you guys saying he should be able to get for $5,000??!?!?! for 5 grand he should have an 800 horse windsor in that car not a v6 with some bolt ons lmao

[chaaase]

save the $5K.
you'll need it for an attorney when you get caught going that fast and/or you cause a wreck.
its not about how fast you can go dummy.
its about how fast you can get up there.

She a good car, I treat her well. She just a show car for now and ya kid I had the same mind as you im was 18 got my v6 want more power parents thought a v6 would be ok. Then one day driving down the road with a few friends that drove mustang. A buddy of mine crash into a light pole then a hit a few signs and almost went into the lake. Lucky we were all with him to get him to safety. Take your car to a few autocross races. I’m 20 man I’ve had my sixer for 3 years I keep telling my self I want to go faster. But ya its gone take a lot of time and money and some driving time.

watch this go to about a 1min30sec. go do stuff like this for a while to trully see how your car is. make sure you got good tires on.

Within 6 months of having my license, i hit the governor limit on my mustang as well. Middle of the day, on a 5 lane road, in the middle turn lane............

............god im lucky to have made it out of my teenage years..........


Moral of this story is, DON'T BE STUPID! Driving fast has its place and time, doing 118 down a public road is not it. Take the advice from us that have been there and seen the damage it can do.


now, onto the mods.........

I would recommend an 8.8 rear end or a t-lock first. Worst feeling in the world is having ONE back wheel get loose from you in a turn, because its almost imposable to get any control of a slide when you can only control the spinning on one wheel.

After that, exhaust probably, if nothing but for the noise.

[uconnV6]

to those parts. were do you think i should get them and how much would it cost. i plan on doing it myself if i can. but wat would u think it would cost to have someone put it in? those are some of the parts im gone put in befor i snap the turbo in next year.


oh befor you go and buy this parts get some nice tires. me im a big fan of the nitto i have. but go with wat u can get. dont go cheap. that just me..

ha this was my thinking, just keep it stock and when maturity comes go for a v8

[mattf0509]

exhaust will make it so much more fun to drive simply because people will turn their heads to see what car was making all that racket...next id go with under drive pulleys, steeda.com has a pretty good one. next pick up a cold air. brand name doesnt matter their all the same..so probably the one from americanmuscle.com would be one of the cheapest. next i would personally go for a cam for the torque and sound. then if you have enough left over look into an m112 kit and if your still not having fun with your car than its time to save for that enzo
