What mods do you have now? Because just adding a blower isn't going to bump the hp from 190 to 345.

GodStang · 08-27-2002, 08:08 PM

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.

Hammer · 08-27-2002, 10:52 PM

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....

GodStang · 08-28-2002, 01:38 PM

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.

Dark_5.0 · 08-30-2002, 12:14 PM

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,

JMO,

hey hey...guess what buddy, YOUR WRONG.

The new V-6's make 190hp and weight in at 3066(NADA), that's enough power to get into the 15's

With a average driver they are mid/high 15's. Maybe you pissed that a V-6 can take some V-8 stangs, I duno.

So your Cobra isn't running 12.2's....ummmmmmmm.....maybe it's because your not good enough of a driver to get it there. I'm not saying I am either, but just because YOU can't get your car to run 13.2 doesn't mean some else can't.

I'm not joining the which car is faster argument, I just have a few questions. THis is my first post here, I purchased a base model 2002 v-6 last month and am considering my options for adding performance. Can anyone offer some suggestions without going overboard quite yet (ie blower, etc). Cold Air Intake, dual exhaust, flowmasters, changing pulleys?? Pros/Cons? I'm sure theres tons of mods that I havent heard about yet.

Is it a auto of a 5-speed?

Off-road h-pipe, GT take off cat-back(throw on some flows or the like if you want it louder), pullies, throw in a K&N and yank the silencer(don't waste your money on Cold air induction), and throw in a set of 3.73 or 4.10 gears.

soc · 08-30-2002, 02:15 PM

Sorry, forgot to mention that it's a 5spd. How exactly do I remove the silencer? ANd how easy is it to install the K&N filter? I'm new to all of this...

Dark_5.0 · 08-30-2002, 02:37 PM

More funny stuff........

I dont want to get into a mag racing contest. So I will leave this alone.

But like I said If you are taking the time a magazine ran with a **** load of VHT sprayed on the track and a 5000 rpm launch and a professional driver power shifting every gear. And saying that it is possible in the real world. Then obviously our opinions differ and I will leave it at that.

Considering my time would translate to a 13.3 @ sealevel. I dont think that my driving is in question.

I have seen at least 100 different 99+V6 stangs run at the track how about you?

The best I have seen Is a high 15..........The guy that ran that has a 99 cobra that runs 12.5's with a untouched engine. So I am pretty sure he can drive the wheels off of about anything.

I dont care if a V6 stang can outrun some V8 stangs or not. Just as long as they cant outrun my GT

We will just have to agree to disagree.

No flames just my opinion

Later,

GodStang · 08-30-2002, 07:35 PM

As far as gears for your 2002 I would do 3.73's. Some say to put 4.10's. Exhaust duals is good pullies. Cold air not worth it.

tireburner163 · 09-01-2002, 10:17 AM

Dark 5.0.....I'm almost at sea level so cars down here are gonna be faster.

I raced a stock 2000 V-6 auto and it ran a 10.2.....that's a high 15. I have the time slip to prove it, if you don't believe me.

Dark_5.0 · 09-01-2002, 05:12 PM

I too have seen one run a high 15. It is the high 14 I am having trouble with.

I really dont believe that you would lie, If you said you seen it then I believe it.

Later,

GodStang · 09-01-2002, 08:20 PM

I have never seen it done I just read it in MM&FF. They ran a 14.93 @ 92 MPH. in a 99 5-speed v-6. I know they are pros but some ask what they can go. If you are good than this is what it can do. It has the ability to. Gives you guys a goal. I try not and magizane race but that is what it can run.

Later,

I'm just say I saw a V-6 AUTO run a 10.2. A 5-speed should be about .5 seconds faster. That's at least a mid 15.

I am sorry for being as stupid as I am but what do you mean when you say A 10.2 do you mean 10.2 in the 1/8 mile.

thanks

GodStang · 09-02-2002, 09:24 PM

Yes that is what he means. And you are not stupid.

Dark_5.0 · 09-03-2002, 11:26 AM

My concept of reality gets warped up here @3000ft. The 15.96 I seen would have been a mid 15 @sealevel I guess.

actually it can be true at the 14.96 at sea level then a high alttitude u would have to add 1 or 2 seconds more for high altitude
