I'm just finishing the motor I got for my '97 V6 Mustang. I bought a used 3.8L out of a '98 Mustang with 73K miles on it with the auto tranny for $300. I had the heads machined: intake ports cut and bowls bored, Fel Pro MLS head gaskets, installed a miled Comp Cam shaft, new timing chain and gear set, high flow water pump, new stock replacement oil pump, and all new main and rod bearings. Most for reliability while the engine is on the stand, I might as well. I just ordered the SCT XCal 2. I really would like to replace the stock exhaust with a true dual from the manifolds back with an X pipe but I can't seem to find any complete systems for sale like that. Any advice? What other mods would you recommend? Any advice on using the XCal 2? I have 2 good trannies, Mod one? Fuel efficiancy is a concern for me as well, as I commute at least 60 miles every day.
