2002 mustang

[GodStang]

I am not positive but pretty sure that a tremec and a T-5 are two different types of Tranny's. I would like to admit that I was wrong and it is 3.27's not 2.73 like the 1994-1998. PLease take advantage of this because I do not admit wrong doings most of the time.

well i read it among www.vehix.com and read their reviews and stuff about the 2000 mustangs and thats what it says so i am going by that and plus it also says on the peice of sticker on the side of my door inside and it says t-5 not sure if its tremec but it seems to be true when i look for a shifter for my car on steeda their steeda tri-ax short throw shifter for the t-5 transmission it says tremec on it but i am pretty sure i am right though but i could be wrong

I have a 2002 Ford Mustang V6 Auto and I have flowmaster single in single out and a cold air intake with a K&N on it and I was wondering how much HP I got know b\c when my car shifes in to 2nd i get rubber and if I am lucky I can get a 3rd??

[mustang2000]

well i am not exactly sure but with a cold air intake it is up to 20 more hp and flowmasters single exhaust maybe 10 to 15 more hp but if u have an automatic then u either one shouldnt be peeling out unless its a stick and 2 u are giving it too much gas so the max hp i think u can get i am not no pro is 35 more hp so u have a total if maxed is 223 hp if its maxed out but i doubt that it is the best way to find out is to do a dyno but that will cost ya

[GodStang]

Sorry to say it but I would be surprised if you had more than 200-205 at the flywheel with just single exhaust even though it is Flows. I have Cold air, dual 2 chamber flows, offroad h-pipe, underdrive pullies, k&N amd I have about 20 hp over stock.

Mustang 2000 the Tri-ax shifter is the best. Get it you will not regret it. Takes about a month to loosen up. After that it was great for me.

MustngMan2002,

Depending on your brand of intake, you probably gained 5-7 HP from the CAI. You might want to think about getting duals. Now that your stang is breathing more balance it with some duals!
Even y-pipe quasi duals are better than the single exhaust.
Better yet, get a set of GT duals! Only drawback on the GT duals is the loss of low end torque, BUT you gain more on the high end. (above 2500RPM or so)

Food for thought:

There is a new CAI that is available for 99+ by Demolet.

Its a full length CAI Densecharger...

According to the link Ive listed..you get gains of 12.5 HP and 14.8 lbs of torque! Dynotested!

It was tested on a 99+ stock V6 mustang.



Cheers!

well i am not exactly sure but with a cold air intake it is up to 20 more hp and flowmasters single exhaust maybe 10 to 15 more hp

================================

Also the flowmaster muffler alone is not going to give you 10 to 15 more HP over stock. I don't think they improve exhaust flow that much...maybe 2-3 HP if that. With duals you might gain 10HP depending on the brand...Do some research online and see what you can find out. GOOD LUCK!

Cheers!

Well u have a 94 V6 and i have a 2002 V6 so there is alot more on a 2002 then a 94 i know u have a H pipe but if i can beat 94 gts and I know i have around 224 or 230 HP and i went racing last night and i was power breaking it to get my rpms up and i couldn't stop spinning for chap on a stick. and oh yes i can get a 2nd gear. i have a Dense Charger cold air intake

well it depends but with duals u get up to 20 hp more and plus if they put in a bigger pipe for the exhaust can also increase hp cause its more that goes out and not less and ford mufflers are more restrictive then the flowmasters i put in a single exhaust with 2 and 1/4 exhaust with an aerochamer muffler and according to them they said they are alot better in performance then the single flowmasters and i noticed a big difference in hp and acceleration

[MustngMan2002]

I really just want to know what i am running in the 1/4 b\c i am allways going to Galveston and racing at cherry hill and i raced a honda and whiped his butt in the long run he took me on start b\c i couldn't stop spinning and when i stoped spinning was after red line it shifted around 6000 RPMs and everyone said my font end came off the ground so i don't know if it did or not

[mustang2000]

u probably have 230 hp not sure cause the cold air intake can give u up to 20 hp i am not sure that is including the K&N air filter or not if its not the K&N air fillter can give u up to 15 more hp with increase with acceleration and faster response in throttle the single flows i am not sure if u got just muffler with the stock size pipes or got bigger ones but u might get up 10 to 15 more hp estimating anyways the older mustang gts dont have that much hp they only have 225 hp with 285 lbs of torque i think so which it wouldnt really suprise me with what u got that u would beat one

[GodStang]

Also with the older GT's if they have more than 80,000 miles good chance they have dropped about 20hp due to ware and tear and timeing chain sagging. So good chance if you are racing a stock 1994-1998 GT and they have not kept up with it than they have about 200hp. Due to the less weight the 99-02 v-6's should smoke a 94-98 gt if both stock or near stock. Plus 99-02 have better gears which will also help them beat the GT.

Keep beating people in your v-6s because we need respect too.

OK, I have to set the record straight here. There is no way a CAI kit is giving 20 HP. You are lucky to get 5 HP without changing the MAS. I have seen the dyno results of the new Demolet kit and don't see how replacing the rubber tube after the MAS with a plastic pipe alone will add that much HP over their other CAI's. Its not mechanically possible. The kit is just like the MAC kit now, but plastic, and MAC only claims up to 5 HP. I'd like to see an independant, objective dyno test first before I would trust thier claims. CAI's are mostly eye candy attached to a K&N filter. Tests have proven the only part of the kit that improves HP is the K&N. The other stuff is just for looks.

GodStang - I have to disagree with you regarding a 99 or newer 3.8 beating an older GT. Yes, any car will lose HP after a great deal of wear, but the GT will still win. The GT has a ton of torque that a stock 3.8 can not touch. Usually a V-8 with the same HP numbers will still smoke a V-6 on torque alone. Any dragger will tell you it is torque that gets you off the line. I'd put my money on the GT.

one it depends on the bran of CAI u get mac claim u get up to 20 hp more cause if u get 3 or 5 more hp thats probably the K&N filter since thats what comes with it and since the cold air intake basically brings the air straight to the engine cause most people take off the silencer and another thing the older gts a v-6 can too beat it depending what u put in the v-6 and u cannot say torque alone can beat a v-6 cause the new v-6 have 225 lbs of torque and the older gts have like 285 they do not have 302 in them like the new gts so in another words YES a new v-6 can beat a older GT by the way 225 hp is with the 98 gts 94-96 gts have 220 hp and another thing is that anyone can increase the torque on their cars but they have to replace the axle cause the axle they put on it wont stand the power so it will bend or break

MM&FF ran a green 1999 V6 to a best of 14.96 @ I think 92 MPH. The 1994-1995 GT ran 15's and the 1996 ran 14.9-15.0 somewhere in there. That is all of them fresh off the factory line with less than 10,000 miles. As far as 1997-1998 I am not sure what they ran. MM&FF where making a huge deal about the V-6 beating the 302's and 1996 281. That is the only reason I said that.

As far as CAI they have been doing them in different magaizanes and unless you have a cool sticker to put on your car you will only get between 5-10hp. It is best to make your own CAI, than spend tons of money for one. Unless you like the looks of it.

If you would like to see any of the aritcles I will look for them and send them if you would like them just ask.
