How many little ponies???

Stang City · 05-27-2002, 11:02 PM

How many horses does ford put into the stock 3.8?
How much would be added by the addition of
a)dual exhaust
b)air induction by removing stock air induction and replacing with a more direct path fed by a K&N cone filter (Under hood not cold air inducted)

No need to be exact, just curious about roughly how much our 3.8 has.

Thanks

Are you speaking of the 99-present or the 94-98? The 94-98 had 145hp and 210lbs-ft or tq. The 99-present comes with 190hp and 220lbs-ft of tq. The K&N cone filter will probably gain about 3% hp and a take-off ehaust off of a GT will gain about 10-15hp, anything aftermarket probably a little more.

I agree with Matt. It depends also what exhaust system and wether you are useing cats or not. Also depends on year.
