6. Clairification, Ford thought they would save a few bucks by putting smaller pullies on the V6....we got a spiff with out paying for it.

7. Under Research: The stock V6 engine is marginal with NOS or SC. The engine water jackets design creates a head gasket problem. It seems that just 6psi boost has been blowing the head gaskets on the 2005s. Also, the piston rings are to close to the top of the piston, NOS or SC will crush the head of the piston into the ring surface..I bet it is not any different for the 2006, so be warned!

8. Still under investigation....if you build a stage 1 or 2 engine and beaf up the lower end and buy the stuff, pistons, rings, bearings, heads etc.and manifolds ( and do the work yourself) you might be able to get 90 additional HP with your CAI for a cost of $3,200. You now have 325hp and alot more torque. Add a SC, $3,600-$4,000. Still want to chase speed?

9. Call me what you like, I am collecting info and parts to build the stage 2 engine to do solo II racing. With the SC, I will add an additional 100 - 125 hp. Will bring the total to lets say 400 - 450 rwhp and some great torque. However, this is all theory....you have to build it and test it to get the prize.

10. Suspension to keep it all on the road..Take off GTs right now, it is on rails, but you will have to do more that that if you do steps 7 - 9. Good luck and hope you don't have a wife . I have the wife and made a deal when I bought the 2005 V6 vert...she says I sandbaged her and she is not happy :award
