I have a v6 06 mustang...automatic... i want to drop the 0-60 from its 6.9 to if at all possible a flat 6 or maybe touch the 5's without hurting engine integrity...Any suggestions or should i just keep dreaming?

well first off you dont run 0-60 in 6.9....i dont care what your hand timing tells you
if you wana hit 5s you'll a power adder at least
to get in the high 6s you'd need probably 4.56s
which are rediculous for street driving and insane for highway travel

Well Chris don't jump the gun on the new guy lol... your probably right with everything you say and I'm with you. But just for now it is a small possibility that he is modded? I'm just throwing that out there so this wont come back to bite us in the asses lol.

i am pretty sure my car runs in the high 6's and are you sure i need that much more power to shave off that much time to a low 6 even if i run in the 7's?

[El_Cangri]

yeah.. u need serious power to lose a second... even if u add 20 h.p it will only tickle the timer

[MustangBeginner]

i can be satisfied with low 6's even just point me in the right direction so i can start research

true
but usually by reading someones post you can guess what they have
im guessing he's pretty much stock or some bolt ons



what does your car have?

a stock v6 99-04 runs about 7.9 0-60

[itschristorres8]

well whats your budget ?

[MustangBeginner]

well you are pretty much right i only have exhaust at the moment but i have 2500 roughly to play with if i only need to shave off a half second what would i need... and are you sure that my car is that slow? You obviously know more about cars than i do but...that seems pretty slow

[El_Cangri]

i think hes running low or mid 7s... he has what 14 more horses than us stock.... that is nothing IMO

[MustangBeginner]

my goal really is to just noticeably beat stock v6 mustangs

[itschristorres8]

no. ive got exhaust +more mods and might run a 7.5ish low 7s

what kills me is the traction really

best way to shave off half a second
4.10s and t-lok
you'll notice a NICE difference with those and with an auto you'll love it
it'll be about $400ish for the t-lok AND gears then another $200ish to install both

with your other $1900
i know a very good deal that'll shave off that second

i just found a guy selling stage 3 heads and a vortech for $1900
the heads alone are $700 shipped...and worth 50+hp on a n/a set up
with that s/c you could see 60-70hp out them then add about 80-100hp from the vortech depending on the pulley

[El_Cangri]

damn thats cheap!!

intercooler in there and u see more out of the s/c

[MustangBeginner]

alright i am not car savvy in the least can you point me in the right direction of where to buy t-lok and gear sets?

[MustangBeginner]

and ive heard someone mention of something called a torque converter? i have no clue what this is or if it will help. Anyone know what this could do?
