install me and ur car will be on fire dude!

RICH

heres the top 10 go fast goodies that are under 500 bucks (well most of them are anyway, ill keep it good and cheap)
1. Gears! it makes the car WAAAY quicker off the line! for you, a set of 4.10’s would be perfect (because V6’s have a lack of torque) and make sure you buy them for your 7.5 rearend, not the 8.8 rearend (v8 cars)
2. Short throw shifter. because you can whip a faster cars *** if you have a good shifter and know how to drive
3. Nitrous- because 100hp is a big step up, not to mention good for the price. try to get 100hp out of any other mod for the cash. you cant.
4. SCT Xcal 2 handheld tuner. believe me, worth the money spent. plus you can tune all the paramaters of your engine!
buy this first.
5. Drag Radial Tires - again, if the guy next to you is just spinning his tires while your “gripping and leaving” then you just won the race.
6. Exhaust upgrade - since you have flows (good choice btw) just get some shortie headers and a off road (no cats) X pipe
7. Cold air intake - need i say more?
8. Intake manifold upgrade - for the 4.6 V8 its possible but i dont know of any aftermarket places that make one for the V6 but if you look im sure somebody will have one.
9. Camshafts- worth every damn penny. gives you way more hp and torque than any other upgrade (except nitrous or a turbo)
10. forced induction - hit the junkyard and make yourself a homegrown turbo kit. it will gain you the most HP hands down but its gonna cost around 4 to 6 grand.

JESS

You’d probably have to get a blower for that six in order to make any decent power. In the long run it will be cheaper than uprgrading everything to v8 stuff.

You’ve basically got 3 options, listed in order of power gained:

Bolt-ons: The best cheap mods for the 3.8L Mustang would be gears and t-loc (~$700 for Parts and Labor), a quality tune (Justin @ VMP, to name one… ~$350), pullies, etc. With all the bolt-ons, you’ll see a maximum of ~230hp (
