how do i make my auto v6 go faster???

JUKEY5.0 · December 16th, 2010, 11:18 AM

looking to go faster... nothing crazy just sum slight mods....i have a 01 by the way..

Aceswild 02 · December 16th, 2010, 11:23 AM

Sell it and buy a GT, Mach or Cobra???

but really, I dont know much about the v6's, but I assume you can go to a steaper gear and it would help. Do they make hand held tuners for the v6's? You will probably see the greatest gains from one of those...

Your best bet ,or if u like v6's get an 11mustang v6 or smaller maybe a STI or GTI

there's a mess of little bolt ons you can do. you can do intake exhaust and headers. also look into throttle bodies, underdrive pulleys and intake plenums. they are bolt on and add some power. aces is right, a tuner would also help. as well as the gears.

find a really big hill, push it off and then just walk way

mustang_gtr_99 · December 16th, 2010, 12:15 PM

I would trade it in to be honest. I am sure you can get a GT or Mach easy by throwing a few grand in on the trade. It is a better trad off then molding the 6er

4.6DreameR · December 16th, 2010, 12:31 PM

Full bolt on's, then cam it? IIRC the v6's still use the OHV unlike the GT's with the OHC.
With full bolt on's and it cammed you should be putting down the same power as a stock GT, maybe a little more.

NASTY03GT · December 16th, 2010, 01:23 PM

Get a tuner, I recommend an SCT one and opt for custom tunes.

emg22189 · December 16th, 2010, 01:49 PM

Lol you guys are being mean to the poor guy. Hey if he wants to keep a 6 let him be. Obviously v8 is the more sensible option but you don't have to insult the guy for having a 6. for all you know he may not have the money for an 8

slo3gt · December 16th, 2010, 02:10 PM

Nitrous. 100 shot off the line and 350 in 2nd gear. It will be FAST, once. Then swap in a v8.

this sounds like a good setup and thats a very respectable time.

you could also throw a s/c on it.

jt's03v6 on here is running mid sevens in the eighth with a procharger or vortech and a stalled auto

OP you can do what i did....crash your v6, then use the insurance money to buy a GT

but seriously...be ready to sink some cash into your car just to get to a 2v GTs stock HP & TQ rating
