The block will be ok, and as long as the engine has been maintained correctly, it should be ok as long as you don't push it. The main thing that'll probably give first would be the rings. The stock piston rings are not designed for boost at all. The stock pistons aren't too bad, but they aren't...

Save up for forced induction ($3000+), Heads/Cam/Intake ($2000+), nitrous(~$1000), or UDP ($250). Red98, you want the gears. 3.27 to 4.10, 25.4% change, was definitely nice. Your car will jump from 2.73 to 3.73, a 36.6% increase.

The gains on CAI aren't much at all, no matter the brand. Can't say if it was worth it or not versus a simple K&N drop in with removed silencer. The stock intake tube isn't excessively bad really, most the issue comes in the two 90-degree turns in the upper intake manifold. But if you do get a...

Flowmaster 40's aren't that bad at most RPMs. It's not the loudest at idle, but definitely has a good sounding idle and low acceleration. Under 50% throttle at 3000rpms it gets raspy, and at WOT I can't really hear anymore so I don't know what the sound is lol. But for driving around town and...

Well, figuring everything now-days is OHC, and the mustang did have a low-end SOHC engine up to '93, makes since to think Ford would have put atleast a SOHC V6 into the Mustang but nope. The only half-bright side is, you only have to buy one cam. That and you don't have to listen to V6 Mustangs...

The 3.8 V6 is not a SOHC, it is just OHV. If ours was SOHC, we would have 2 cams, one for each head under the valve-covers. The V6 only has a single cam that is between and below the heads so it can control all the valves. I wouldn't say it is impossible to make it DOHC, but with the amount of...

Dual 2.25" Flowmaster 40 series with 4.10s and trutrac are my best, but driving down the freeway is only for the deaf. 75mph is around 3000 rpms and with those 40's, the drone is bad, but it's not half as bad as a 79 Corvette's with no cats, just open Borla race exhaust...although it's drone is...

If you supercharge, even 3.73 is too much. I would look into an 8.8 with maybe 3.45 and a good limited-slip for a supercharger.

I've got Flowmaster 40's with divorced mid pipes. Deep rumble, sounds nice at idle, definitely loud. With my 4.10s, it puts 45mph RIGHT in the spot with the loudest drone. Doesn't bother me one bit, in fact I enjoy it. The 4.10's definitely gives it a lot more get up and go, and an XCal2 only...

Super Six Motorsports is currently working on an M112 kit for the 99-04 V6's. It's still in testing so it may be awhile. Right now it has no IC setup, but they have it going 7-8psi making mad torque really low with a nice flat curve.

gears and T-lok. Out of all the bolt ons I have done (which is almost all in fact now), the gears were the best. Plus hearing both tires squeal between the 1-2 shift is so nice compared to the old chirp from one tire.

99-04 V6 was 3.27 with an open differential. Pre-99's were 2.73's mostly, still open rear. T-lok on a 7.5" rear is ok, but if you modify the V6 and stress it, the t-lok breaks easily. I got a TrueTrac, bout $200 more but it's so nice. No clutches to wear out, and it is just physically built better.

Intake, exhaust (true dual gives more torque), SCT XCal2 ($399) or Livewire ($599) whichever you want, Underdrive Pulleys ($130), if it is an automatic 4.10 gears ($150) plus T-Lok (about $200) then get it installed (price can vary for the shops, don't cut corners on this cost, it's TOO...

Intake, pulley, dual exhaust is the very basics. Then I would say gears and t-lok, personally I prefer the Detroit TruTrac because of it's strength and the fact that you don't have to worry about clutches wearing out like the Ford T-lok. After that it's all beyond "bolt ons" involving ported...

A TB spacer doesn't do that much, barely anything at all as you said. An intake manifold spacer increases runner length and messes with the geometry of the air bouncing off the valves, that can add a little more. Only downside is, no one really makes them. I managed to get a 1/2" G-10 phenolic...

SCT XCal 2 from http://www.vmptuning.com you can't go wrong. That guy custom tunes his XCals with what he has seen in past cars, then leaves it unlocked so you can edit the tunes. As far as the MafIA, it is not worth it unless you are running boost and maxed out the MAF sensor. Even then, it is...

Bought myself an Xbox 360, Gears of War, Call of Duty 2, and Flowmaster 40's Actually got Rainbow Six Vegas, Project Gotham Racing, Need for Speed Most Wanted, a Canon MP160 printer and a 19" Samsung SyncMaster 931BW widescreen LCD monitor.

It's cause we drive Mustangs, not rice, so we are grown up enough not to throw crap at each other, then eat it and the bugs out of our hair like rabid monkeys. Oh and if you wanna say roof scoops, WTF is with offset roof scoops? I mean have any of these people picked up a book on physics or...

Maybe if you have a yellow car and your headlights are yellowing....no wait it's still not appealing. And yeah, it was a 2000 civic Shoe/door wedge. I was just saying the civic si isnt all as fast as people make it to be. And if you want a fast V6er, look at the NMRA. The 3rd fastest car right...

Any car that is made to look "2 FAST 2 FURIOUS DAWG" and can get raped by my 3hp gocart is rice. There's a guy near me, white civic, black hood, "hood pins" 3M taped to the hood (no really, I watched him pull the lever and open the hood like normal), dual fart cans (WTF...I can understand duals...
