I am buying a 96 base, i will have about a grand left over, what should i do for the most power, its already got an h-pipe with dual exaust. im not sure any of the other specifics about the exaust. its an automatic, so should i get 3.73 gears? how much would that cost? what other things could i do.

[itschristorres8]

no get 4.10 gears if u want to be going faster. those are about 125-150$
long tubes are about $300 they'll shoot you lik 20hp
a cam would get you plenty of power range from $200 to $275

but i would get cams really til u've finished ur bolt ons..
try a UD pulley, SCT XCAL and t-loc

well some say for automatic get 4.10's. but they will hurt your gas mileage. underdrive pulley, cold air intake, tuner.......
Gears will cost you about 150 and up but you also need a tlok witch is also 150 and up.

[itschristorres8]

cold air intake is an option, not the biggest bang for your buck though if you seeking hp. that'll shoot u maybe 5hp

I don't know where you are looking for gears but I want to find out! 4.10 gears for a 7.5 rear will cost right around or just above 200. Long tubes can be purchased for around 150. And I don't know why He is so fascinated with cams but that should be the last thing you do to tie everything together. A cold air intake will get you 2HP if you are lucky.

Actually the worse part is the extra cost that is involved with some of those items. The extra parts, Gaskets, Fluids and most of all Labor cost if you are not a do it yourselfer.

gears for 160-170 from DS on ebay.

long tubes are 300 if you get ceramac coated. mac is the only company making them, and ceramac coating is worth the extra money for longevity.

and cai are a waste of money for those seeking power

I would shy away from longtubes on a stock singleport. You just dont flow enough air to take full advantage of them, and would probably end up losing backpressure/power.

A cam is a really sweet mod, you can sit back and notice the difference immediately. Its not like a CAI or UDP where you "think" you feel the gains. After you cam your V6, youll notice the difference the second you start it up. And as soon as you hit the gas it will put a smile on your face.

ok if your goin to do forced induction get 3.73 not 4.10.

5-speed or forced induction = 3.73

automatic n/a = 4.10

Yes, some people with 5 speeds have gotten 4.10s but this will dramatically shorten first gear so thats why it is recommended for autos.

Also if you are planning forced induction you are gonna need to beef up that 7.5" to an 8.8" rear end.

First gear with 4.10s is awesome in a 5 speed!

A cam should be your last mod. You put in a cam for an n/a motor and then get a supercharger, guess what? you will need a new cam to maximize it's potential. Best just to get a cam when you feel you have everything you want done.

[itschristorres8]

or if you are getting forced induction you can do what i plan on doing. while i have my 7.5 rear im putting in 4.10's for my 5speed. yea first gears it almost a second long but i'll just shift it out. then when i move to forced induction, i'll have to get an 8.8 anyway so when i get that i'll get my 3.73 then

not really. removing the cats alone will grant a lot of backed up power potential, but long tubes flow much better than restrictive and poorly scavenging of heat shorties, and even stock singleports see good gains with l/ts over s/t. long tubes may reduce peak tq but will greatly help peak hp

[Sa-WaitNoMustang900Turbo]

well, idk about the whole loss of peak torque, but how bout a peak torque shift to the right (and increase, as long a tune is ok)

[99mustang232]

it is common for those who switch to longtubes on a N/A 3.8 to see some loss of low end torque but a gain of top end hp
