What Are You Saving Up For?


well this should help some people get ideas of what they might want or maybe even help them pick out questions about parts.
anyways i'm gona look into
a turbo thats on the side of my car i can;t remeber where i seen it but i heard you can twin turbo the car that way as well you have the piping run along the side skirts and into the back fenders.
if thats bought i'm looking into a cam of course.
body kit-saleen probably from I-AREO with Z3 front fenders
Looking into custom gold tinting for the windows but i also might get some side louvers
looking at gears - 4.10 with a 8.8 rearend
new adjustable shocks but unsure of what i want brand wise
going to get long tube headers from mac probably
looking into the sct tuner and the sniper tuner unsure still which one would benifit me more
the sequential turn signal modual
new twin halo crystal projector head lights with clear crystal back bumper reflectors
new UD pulley
looking at subs but thats last i don't need anymore sound stuff i wanna go faster

anyways that should start something off ask questions debate.. ridicule choices.. thats what this is for.

ok....you want a turbo....and long tube headers....thats makes a lot of sense....


if your looking for turbo kit(twin turbo) www.tmaturbo.com is about the only place ive seen that sells it for a v6 unless u custom fabricate one yourself, which isnt the easiest project.

im getting my kit from them. the TT kit...oh and im not getting long tubes



also go for the SCT XCAL 2
the UD pulley make sure its ASP

also why z3 fenders? or even get a body kit...that and the kit will cost over $1k EASY! i'd say maybe even $2k

Good words of wisdom. Don't buy something unless you are certain it will fit with the package (i.e. long tubes and a turbo). I am not 100% certain Scuba understands how a turbo works. Not trying to be critical but objective from all the comments made. Ask alot of questions, somebody on here will know the answers.

well nope i didn;t know that i needed shorty headers so thanks guys and the body kit is 650$ us with fenders haha i got a deal from a guy that sell them from the factory. and the turbo set up isn't quite custom someone did it too a GT earlier so it looks like a sleeper but the turbo actualyl sit in the side scoop area of your mustang it's nutty lookin. anyways i'm gona keep searching for it so i can show you guys and as far as the twin turbo set up is concerned haha you make anythign work just gotta read. but thanks for the point on on the long tube headers guys. so no one mentioned what they wanted what sup with that?

lol also if your going with TMA...they have headers..im doing that


this is my new list since ive decided to get TT

first..put new brakes
then ASP UD pulley with SCT from VMPtunning
then im thinking about getting shorties but it might be pointless since tma brings some anyway
after that, im swapping the rear to an 8.8 rear, and getting 3.73's with it
then..getting a throttle body
then build up my engine with forged interals and everything to support the turbos(looking for about 15psi or more)
then cam and p/p heads


then finally....A Twin Turbo kit from TMA tubro :award
also when i get that im completely changing my exhaust from 2.25 to 3in

Alright I'll explain the split port more. The sn-95 3.8L is a single port engine. The 99-04 mustangs are split port 3.8L. What split port does is make the air in your engine less restrictive for more hp. Thats partly why the 99-04 sixers have I think it's around 40 extra horses than the sn-95. Take a look at the differences in the upper intake manifolds from 94-98 compared to to 99-04. Pretty much what it will do is give me the power of a split port, but then I'm bumping it up to the best that www.supersixmotorsports.com can do for me. I'm prob gonna go with the sheet metal upper intake

Planning your mods are the best thing you can ever do...

Take it from someone who did not plan...It will save you alot in the long run...

1. have a goal. Where do you want this car to be when you are finished with your project?

2. Do your research. How much is this gonna cost, how hard is it gonna be, where can I buy the parts, installation, etc.

3. Make a plan.

4. Stick to it.

Stage 3 is pretty much stage 2 but everything is ported and polished. I have read that there are upwards of 90-100 extra horses with stage 3 everything.

--limited slip differential
--4:10's

--long tube headers
--off road x pipe
--flowmaster mufflers

--Under drive pullies
--cold air intake
--throttle body
--sct tuner

--regrind cams

-- lowering springs


Realalisticly probably no cams...


with everything minus the cam how much hp would that pissubly make at the wheels. I'd be good with 200 if that could happen.
