    Do I really need an "h" pipe?

    no it wont. the even fire 3.8 and GM4.3 and 3.8 and dodge 3.9,3.7 and isuzu 3.2,3.5 have a cylinder fireing on each bank at the same time which wouldn't allow any vacuum scavanging. the H or X does absoutly nothing for an even fire 90 degree v6. Smokey Yunick back in the late 70's and early...

    Do I really need an "h" pipe?

    you don't need an H. it does nothing for power on a 3.8 V6 checkout www.pypesexhaust.com they have some real nice exhaust for the V6 an X pipe sounds best on the 3.8 IMO here is a clip of a car equipped with an X it is a 99 V6 stang http://www.stangin.com/movie1.mpg

    Gears, I need a little advice

    any reputable tranny/gear shop can install them $250-$300 is about the topps you want to pay also get a richmond gear install kit. any time you change the rear gears you MUST use an install kit. otherwise it makes it harder to setup the rear correctly and why reuse the old bearings when...

    v6 mustang auto vs hyundai?

    the sonata runs 15.3 with 235hp even car and driver runs that with it the Azera (only 150lbs heavier) has 265 hp and will run in the mid 14's no problem. most maximas i have seen run in the mid 14's too. even auto's the gearing will be steeper than an eclipse. so it shouldn't be too much...

    Engine Swap 3.8 to 4.6

    way too much stuff to be an easy budget project. it will cost atleast $3000 to do the conversion, and you will have to tell your insurance company about the V8 or it is insurance fraud for alot less money you can get a good used 3.8 from www.stangparts.com and have it shipped to your door...

    Good read Oct MMFF: V6 running in the 10's (stroked 4.2)

    a 3.8 stang should have been in the 8's by now but most guy's are testing the waters. the Buick turbo 6 has been in the high 8's on a production block which is really no stronger than the ford 3.8 actually the essex ford was based on the buick design so there is alot of potential with it...
