v8 swap?


ok so i have an 06' v6 stang 5spd, right now all i have is cai and true dual exhaust, i was thinking about just putting in a v8 because i could spend alot of money and boost my v6 but i would get more horsepower out of a v8 cause well i could boost that too, no replacement for displacement! i didnt have a choice on the car if i did i would have gotten a v8 in the first place but any input or help would be much appretiated

you will have to change so much out of the car it would be better to just buy a gt...

and just so you know, a vortech supercharger kit at 4.4 psi will put you at approx the same hp as a GT of the same year, and you will be faster due to less weight. and thats on an untuned 4.4 psi. you can well up the psi to 9 or get a turbo and be even faster. dont count out the v6 just because its got 2 less cylinders.

with all the stuff you will have to change, you will end up losing money in the long run trying to put a V8 in your car. you should just sell it and get a GT ...........or you can go F/I or boost it and have fun with it too.

Bawhaha, a 4.4psi vortech won't get you anywhere close to a GT, and how in the world do you get 4.4 psi from a vortech?!

Mid 300s easy:
cai, long tubes, procharger 11psi kit, exhaust.
or
turbo kit, exhaust.

*of course you need fuel mods and such*
