With a 02 mustang 3.8l v6 with a base hp of 190hp, putting $10grand in?

How much hp will you gain putting that much money into the engine? (wanna do force injection if possible)

[Rich J]

$10k you say?

4v swap, hellion turbo....

[6ER THEN I 8ER!]

Sell your car and get a new 5.0

[GreenMustang00]

4.3 Forged bottom end. 2000
Balancing. 300-350
Assembly. 150-200
8.8 rear end w/ gears 350-500
Windstar upper intake. 430
Exhaust. 400
Short throw shifter. 200
SCT/Diablo handheld. 380


Ask this question when you have these done.

^^ Why do all that then use a handheld tuner?

I believe the specific topic is INTO A V6 - so saying swap is pointless. $10K spent right will net you more power than you'll ever need on the street out of a V6.

$10K for a new 5.0L, huh?

[JTs03v6]

You could make 500rwhp for way less than 10k. Thats if you do the work yourself.

Built motor, custom cam, split port heads, 66mm turbo, fuel, and maybe a few trans mods you could have a 10sec sleeper for around 6k.

[SlowSix]

for 10 grand I agree with a 4v big turbo swap.

but 10k into a v6 could net you some pretty big numbers...

[mustangmike!]

10k
Forged, stroked, P&P H/I, cam, 2 stage nitrous at about 150 each/ pretty good size turbo, fuel, 8.8 w/ gears, tuner, dyno, and decent size DR's and get the fuck down the road.

But you wont get far if you floor it, might want a new tranny or rebuilt

Obviously your want a dyno tune done.. Why not run 2 seperate tunes? Also with the sct you can watch volts and 12x2(r654 other gauges through your laptop, ending up costing the same as buying them. Got my handheld for 200 bucks and still had plans to get a dyno tuning from Mr. Norms or Kurgens. Then I bought a better motor and sold all that shit lol


Also new Coyote motor is 7k.. I guarentee somebody can drop it in a new edge for just over 10k spent overall

Sorry if you can't figure it out so ill help you out this time to be nice...his trade in plus 10k = nice down payment on a new 5.0....now try to keep up because having to repeat myself is getting old.

well 3.8L x 190hp = max of 722hp

No need for a 66, 6262 will make 500. Torres was close to 500 with his old sc61 or whatever it was.

Easy there, Wendell. No need for the tone.
He asked about modding a V6, not buying a new car or swapping a V8. He also clearly stated a $10K budget... which means he isn't going to want to make payments. In fact nothing in his original post suggests a swap or different car.

(Edited to not get drawn into a pissing contest.)

[BluV6]

10grand will get you a boss 302 swap haha

How do you read tone? Lol

Anyway .. For ten grand, I wouldn't bother with the 6. You can find an sn95 Cobra for that price with some left over for mods. Just my advice .. If I had decent money to begin with, it would NOT be spent on this car.

[Confuc1ous]

10k, shit, thats plenty. However, consider trading the car you have and using 6-8k of that money you would spend on modding as a down payment. Get a base 5.0. Then save the other 2k to make a few months of payments while you get some time to save etc...

Lol don't say that...a certain roush owner is grumpy today if you mention a 5.0

@op..I stick by my post...sell your car and look into a new 5.0....lower mileage...better interior...nicer exterior....better ride....more power then you need stock
