im gettin a a differnt mustang between 94-98 cuz i like the model and its cheaper lol..im gettin a v6 but want to make it alot fatser to run at the track or illegals or against freinds..sumthin for fun..should i get a automatic or stick?..i heard and automatic with a short throw shifter or w/e runs the same if not better times? is that true?..and whats the best performance parts to put in..and what gives you the most horsepower?

[Onemanzu]

.... automatics don't have shifters ... well not in the sense your thinking of... that would be a manual that you get a short throw for... just lettin ya know

auto would be a shift kit.... and if you look down a few posts you will see 11.... 10 or 11 pages on this exact same discussion

get manual
screw what your heard

in advance....plz dont ask a million questions and have about 30% of them the same....not saying your going to bue just incase

[96stockmanualmustang]

i like drivin a stick u have more control but for the quater is a auto or manual better?....to stop one wheel spin outs u get a t lock right? whats th best one and how much is it?

t-lok an gears best place

but if your looking for serious hp in the future getting t-lok is pointless cuz your 7.5 rear axle wont go to much past 300hp
so you'll need an 8.8 rear which has t-lok already

as for the 1/4 i'd say if your doing high 11's or 11's and up that manual is better.

t-lok is about $200 but you might as well get gears with it IMO.
yes it'll stop the one wheel peel

[96stockmanualmustang]

so an 8.8 rear on like a 96 stick is the way to go? how much is that. is it hard to install

[itschristorres8]

not hard to install...but another person would be helpful...

an 8.8 can range from $500-$1200 from used to new
oh not including shipping

[232stang]

if your wanting to race. get a newer v6 they are much fast. or get an sn95 gt. theyre slow and cheap also

[Onemanzu]

.... if you find one off a junker thats not bent it'll be cheaper... you might wanna open it up and change the oil's and double check it all before an install... this would be probably a two day project... so not that hard just long...

for prices... on a used one... the assholes i tried to contact haven't gotten back to me... after three emails... so sorry

[itschristorres8]

the f***in 96-98 GT's are disgusting how slow they are
it seriously like pisses me off why ford would do that

[Onemanzu]

... its all in the weak ass engine... they wanted to make it a prime modable base... which they did... but most fuckers don't have the money cuz its all going to insurance and gas... HA

if anyone does want gears an t-lok this is a good buy

[96stockmanualmustang]

i wanna buy this v6, it has alot of miles so i wanna get it and replace the engine...my freind said in his roush magazine that he got at the sema show in vegas a couple weeks ago had a 315 horsepower v6 for like $2700...would that be good to get put in?

[itschristorres8]

yea but your not gunna get it for no $2,700

a sick motor wou;d be supersix motor sports 4.2L stroked long block!
man that'd be awsomebut the price is crazy...$5k
a $3k stroked engine though is also a nice buy probably have lik 220hp around which is alot more then wat those v6's come stock with...then you can throw on nitrous a s/c or turbo and have one bad ass stang

[96stockmanualmustang]

cuz i wanna get a new engine...i wanna run like a 12 or 13 so what engine along with what headers and stuff can make that happen?..how much will i ahve to out in to get low 13 high 12

[232stang]

ls7

[itschristorres8]

$6-7k...since your swapping the engine, but thats deffinitly the way to go,...you can sell parts from that engine as well
you get a stroker motor and stage 3 power pak you should deffinitly be at about 280-300hp which could score you 13s if you drive good. add 150shot of nitrous and you'll deffinitly have 12s

or........
you get the stroker and put a single turbo $3k from tma
boost it to to 15psi and you should have like 400 easy which will get you 12s for sure
that motor will deffinitly handle that and more! you can boost it so you get like 450-500hp....but that rear axle will have to go

[itschristorres8]

or the stroker, with full bolt ons and stage 3 power pak can get you about 330hp maybe idk about 12s tho...

[Onemanzu]

... i am going to rebuild my engine... unless i can find a younger block and put a SSM power pack and put that on... hopefully i can find a newer v6... say like an 01 ... and drop it in... almost direct replacment too

[96stockmanualmustang]

where should i get an engine form and what all should i buy ex. cold air intake, headers
