obviously colder air is more dense- chemistry 101. intercoolers and aftercoolers can be setup for turbo or superchargers to optimize, so can meth injection and nitrous oxide to cool the air charge

i wouldnt quite ask someone new to the mustang scene, straight from the import scene what to do to the mustang just yet.

we have several threads already regarding beginner mods and price/performance of each. best bang for buck is locking the rear end and putting in steeper gears

T_T awhh that hurts my feelings... im a very smart kid... i do my homework and im pretty sure i could hold my own when it comes to engine tech... plus with reading the same thing over and over every day... its not that hard to say what's up

... umm the first thing you should do to your car is give it a hug and tell it your looking for a better job

hugging a car will in no way increase performance.

hey i was looking at rims this one http://www.americanmuscle.com/20x85-...itt-black.html is that the price for all 4 and how much would people charge to install them ?

that price is for one. then you need the tires and shops charge 10-20 dollars per wheel to mount and balance

[Onemanzu]

having a sense of humor in no way will hurt your macho-ness

[Onemanzu]

the shop im having mine done at are $20 per wheel but includes a long list of free services that the store offeres

same here- even free tire replacement if you get a nail or something. another thing to check is the shops will or ability to mount a 315mm tire with a small sidewall on that 18" wheel. i know there is only one tires plus around my area with the equipment to mount my 275/40/17 fronts and 315/25/17 rears, and i am planning on another 315 or a 335 for the next rear. just make sure they will touch it before you buy. and you will get them cheaper as a package of 4- look at AFS Wheels on ebay, that is where i got mine- wheels/tires/mounted/balanced/with air/shipped for 1100

Actually i think he was quite right about the normal apps for FI, though rather broad.

turbo is not always bettert than s/c, with s/c you can have extremely high levels of boost from low relatively rpms compared to t/c (tuned by more than a pully of course), but if your car never sees low rpm use (unlike a 6er at the drag) or has an absolutly massive engine, turbo charging is better due to the better efficientcy.

with my saab i see absolutely no power, even though a low reving high torque engine, until 2.5k rpm, when my boost finally starts to kick in.

a kick ass set up (especiall for low displacemnt enigines for drag or rally) would be a s/c and t/c set up, a s/c to give boost in the lower rpms or when the turbo hasnt spooled up yet, and then a t/c to give boost in the higher rpms. with this you can have a near constant boost with out the high rpm drag of a s/c, but the gains over a just as well tuned s/c only set up, for larger engines especially, would be not a whole lot probably

aslo a colder charge has a higher effective octane # in the combustion chamber allowing for even more boost or timing further enhancing the need for WI, MI, IC's ect. with FI

[Onemanzu]

sorry dude... no one answered your question on what to do with an uber low budget and better performance... if your running an automatic... u might look at the xcal2 from SCT ... or you could get a cold air intake ... its truly up too you... everyone you ask has a different opinion tho...

[AtlanticBlue99]

start small with a cai if you have no mechanical experience, but you will ultimately get what you pay for in the mod department

[jeff]

what is xcal2 from SCT i googled it but all links went to forums with no answers towards what it is.

[AtlanticBlue99]

it is a tuner, if you have any specific Qs ask justin or jason at VMPTuning.com, they are the guys to go to with our cars and tuning

lol, why is it everythime ab gets into a debate here comes sa?

because sa- knows everything about mechanics i guess

[jeff]

Ok i have some more questions i forgot to ask. is it hard on the engine/bad or can damage the engine to but the petal to the floor? and about fog lights how do you put them in did you need to buy mounts or something and is that hard ? and can you put some links for where i can buy cold air intake and pro charger kits i looked but found nothing for v6. oh and one more thing when my car is on it makes a crackle poping sound when im stoped its not that loud but noticable its coming from the center of the dash is it suppost to make that sound?

well if your at idle and you have the pedal to the floor for a while...yea its pretty bad. as long as you dont have it to the floor for lik over 1-2min a red line its not bad...its really only bad if your at redline..then you push it to the floor and go past redline...thats bad

lights are pretty much bolt on...you just need basic hand tools, no mounts, and its easy..

www.vmptuning.com
has a good procharger kit
CAI you can buy at almost any mustang site.
or try ebay
i'd go for a JLT or K&N intake

i dont understand your last question

[99mustang232]

there is something called a rev limiter that should help protect you from damaging the engine if you decide to mash the gas, also look on that vmptuning site, i have one of their fog light kits on my car, didn't pay that much because i bought it second hand, they do offer a board member discount... but it came with the brackets and relay and all the related wiring, be sure to check out the v6 parts sellers list:
