    "X"pipe vs. "H"pipe

    they will only add 1-2 hp on an even fire V6 like the 3.8. they work great on V8`s because they have an odd fireing order and the x or H balances out exhaust pulses between cylinder banks. V8`s can see 5-8hp with them an even fire V6 1-2hp if any at all they will make the exhaust note alittle...

    Chip?

    diablo chips are junk. SCT from www.velocitymustangperformance.com can get 7hp/tq or more on a stock motor. justin and jason are really good to deal with. they can program to raise the top speed limiter,rev limiter, speedo calibration(99+ only),87or93octane,firm shift points on an auto, and many...

    TransGo Shift Kit Installed

    really? please explain how the transgo is different that the B&M when the same holes in the valve body are drilled out to the same size with each kit. and thank god ford didn`t go with transgo or B&M. i`m not defending B&M but how many different racing tranny`s have transgo developed over the...

    TransGo Shift Kit Installed

    i just hope it holds together. transgo and B&M shift kits are incorrectly designed for the AODE/4R70W. they can cause premature failure to the tranny. i know because it happened to my B&M equipped 98. the jerry mod is the only safe valve body mod for these trannies. a chip can be programmed...

    3.8 rough idle

    do a compression test. you can get a tester at advance or other auto parts stores pretty cheap. anything from 125psi and up to about 160psi is fine. anything below 125psi isn`t good. if it`s not an injector which i doubt because it would likely throw a code, it`s a bad piston or headgasket...

    Horsepower gains?

    you might get 180rwhp if you are lucky with those mods. the splitports are usually about 160rwhp stock so 20rwhp will be a stretch with just the mods you list probably closer to 175rwhp

    Some People!!!

    it`s still a mustang not some rice eating piece of junk. the CL would probably get you. but not to worry those cars are already squeezed of every last hp from the factory short of a power adder. i love smoking people when i hear them say it`s only a 6 popper stang. ok i`ve almost 300rwhp on...

    '95 V6, Opinions...

    not really that`s a good price for a 98 and they don`t blow head gaskets like the 94-96 stangs are known for and that means alot

    Concern about removed air silencer

    first of all you will gain 2-5hp. combining a small silencer with a paper stock filter makes a real restriction. when the silencer is off it pulls gobs more air in and it is close enough to the fenderwell that mostly cooler fender well air will be sucked in. ford used the silencer for 1...

    Clunking & creaking.. it wasn't the control arm bushings, now what?

    it`s the rear shock tower rubber insulator on the interior of the car. they will squeek like an SOB sometimes. mine does pretty often especially if it`s been dry for a while. try spraying them down with WD-40 that usually quiets them down for quite a while

    drop in a v8, supercharge, or buy a gt?

    supercharge or sell it and get a v8. don`t do a swap it is too time consuming and expensive plus the resale vale will be nill and if you don`t report that you have a v8 to your insurance company they will not pay for damages in an accident. i`d just procharge it

    v6 performance parts

    that`s good yours runs a 14.3. my 99 GT vert wouldn`t do that not even on a good day. of course the 3.08 gears don`t help and 3.73`s would really help. 5.0 and MM&FF have both tested GT verts with autos that can`t do under 15 sec in the 1/4. i`ll admit 02 and up GT`s seem to run alittle...

    8.8 Rear

    why the need for the 8.8? the 7.5 isn`t that bad. my procharged 98 with 7.5 and 3.73`s is fine and pushing 300rwhp. i have a friend with a V8 ranger with 450+rwhp and the 7.5 loaded with 3.45`s and T-lok with 295-50-15`s and has been fine for over 3 years on it i just put a rear girdle and...

    Replacing the Spark Plugs

    v6 vs. v8 exhaust

    well this mechanic is saying that loosing torque is baloney by going from 2.25 single or duals to 2.5 duals. you may not gain any torque but you wont loose any either. the better breathing will add HP. the more air in and out the more power you will make. the factory GT take offs don`t flow...
