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 |

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

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.
