Want To Make My 3.8 Faster

03stang · November 15th, 2007, 10:24 AM

anyone have any idea's to make a v6 auto mustang faster its an 03 and i got it for 2000 with 35000 miles so im not complaining but i wish it was 5 speed but i wanna work with what i got so shoot some ideas. i want some (speed and noise)

also the front cigar lighter is not working but on in center console dose anyone have a idea why

Cigar Lighter = Fuse.

if u want better accel, get gears and a traction lock. for sound get some long tubed headers a a catted or catless mid pipe and some dual exhaust.

And definitly get a tuner i recommend sniper.

Gears and a shift kit (auto) go a long way on fun to drive 6'ers!!

no need for a shift kit with a tuner

has the same effects and the best part is the pressure is adjustable

also there is no point in getting a steeper final drive gear with out a traction lock. otherwise ur just going to do a one wheeled peel and a shitty launch every time.

he said he bought it for $2000 with 35,000 miles on it

Avaric3 · November 15th, 2007, 10:47 AM

he stole it but in the process he dropped his months pay and that explains the 2k

GreenFaleen · November 15th, 2007, 10:49 AM

he will still want a shift kit, and a shifter to strengthen the transmission valves for the down shifting he will do heres some info on the shift kits, it will give you faster shifts and manual control over your gears.
Info On shift Kits
also gears and t-lok are a good mod, headers and full exhaust, UD pulleys, a CAI, and of course a tuner you will have a fun little car.

03stang · November 16th, 2007, 10:25 AM

emmmm ya true im with greenfaleen i want a car thats fast but i drive it every day i have no need for a freaking drag car i just want a little balls ya no???? anyone no some people with headers for 3.8 or tuner for sell really anything for more horsepower??/

El_Cangri · November 16th, 2007, 10:33 AM

dirtydirtyracing.com for sniper tuner..

get 4.10s and tlok

Mac longtube ceramic coated headers, H pipe and flowmaster 40s (performance plus sound)

03stang · November 16th, 2007, 10:38 AM

how hard is it to install that chip and i would be afraid to tune it cause my luck i would get the gears all f*** up and it wouldnt run right???

El_Cangri · November 16th, 2007, 10:43 AM

its easy you just need to read the instructions that came with it and follow em..

with the sniper you just need to select the mods you have.. there are more advance settings but if you dont know what ur doing dont touch em.. just use the basics

03stang · November 16th, 2007, 10:46 AM

so say if i have headers,flowmaster,intake,h-pipe, and i bye that sniper tuner what all would i mess with and would it make a huge diffrence in sound and power. they run like what 16.5 on track stock what it run with that stuff or would you not no??? i just curious

Anyway to make it faster get headers, full exhaust, cai, xcal, jmod valve body, b&m shifter - for starters
