| I always thought that NOS would mess up v-6's but I think all the new kits out the engines handle them pretty well if you do not over abuse it. I think that NOS would be a good idea. I HEARD that Nopi stickers give you like 300hp and you can run 8's in the 1/4. You might want some of them.

| mustang2000, I'm sorry I didn't catch this thread earlier because you are HUGELY misinformed about how much hp stuff like CAI and mufflers add. CAI is worth 1-3hp on a stock motor, and just a single in, single out flowmaster is worth maybe 1hp. Hell a whole cat-back is only worth about 5 or so hp. CAI is the biggest rip off of all mustang performace parts, it's just eye candy. New V-6's are about on par with 96-98 GT's. A 94-95 should edge it out. A fox should kick it's *** pretty good.

| oh ok but it hought u get more hp if u were to take the silencer off and i thought u have to have the cold air intake to be able to take it off cause then the car would be getting hot air instead of cold or something if thats not true then heck maybe i should take my silencer off to gain more hp but not sure if that would ruin the warranty or not |

| just yank the silencer....you don't need CAI to take it out. Stangs kinda have CAI from the factory, they draw air from inside the fender area.

| According to Muscle Mustang and Fast ford and Procharger they have a new blower for 1999-2002 that will put the hp on a stock v6 to 345hp.

| Couple of corrections: 2002 base model V-6s with 5 speeds are TR-3650 transmissions 94-95 GTs used pushrod 5 liter engines rated at 215 hp 96-97 GTs used modular V8 motors rated at 215 98 GTs used modular V8s rated at 225 As far as a blower on a 3.8... I checked out the info, the 345 hp Tuner Kit requires the purchase of larger fuel injectors, a custom programmed computer chip (hopefully custom tuned from a dyno...) and an upgraded fuel system. It's certainly not a "bolt on" affair.... Being a Procharger owner myself.... I would be extremely weary about putting 11 psi of boost on a bone stock 3.8. The stock bottom end may be OK with that kind of boost for a while.... but I wouldn't make it your daily driver.... Also, I THINK (not sure) that the base models come with 7.5 inch rears. If that is the case, it may not take to kindly to that kind of power..... Don't let the ricers fool ya... If you want more horsepower, you just don't "kick up" the boost. Its a fast and furious myth and the reason I see pieces of blown VTEC engines all over the track quite a bit....

| I agree with Hammer. They recommed going to 3.73's on blown v6's. I would go to an 8.8" with 3.73's If it where me. Well actually I am looking for one now for my pony.

| I have found this entire thread to be funny as hell. The 99+ stangs dont run 14's stock....they are damn lucky to break into the very high 15's.........Mag racing is for ricers. I am at the track EVERY weekend and trust me the new V6's cant hang with "any" V8 stang. I think a 96' 4.6 convertible auto.....Would edge out a New V6 5 speed. MM&FF got a 13.12 with my cobra and I am not getting anywhere near that. Take it to the tack before you start talking #'s JMO,
