    Super Six power packs

    Well, you certainly stand to gain some power with a Heads/Cam/Intakes setup. I just swapped on Heads/Cam... no ported intakes, RR's, etc... just H/C, and picked up 50whp. If you want to make a lot of power N/A (no s/c, turbo, etc), then I'd suggest going through Super Six Motorsports or Delk...

    How to make my v6 fast

    Hmm... you've posted 7 times since my last post, and you still don't have a leg to stand on with regard to your 2 main points. 1. In this case, you're talking about POWER PRODUCTION. This has been proven to be completely false. Even if you account for putting better HG's on a 94-95...

    How to make my v6 fast

    Yeah, I do the same thing. I certainly wasn't expecting to make 220whp with just H/C, CAI, and duals... and I was guessing that I would make more like ~200whp, so 220whp was a pleasant surprise :D. And yeah, I wouldn't have my car tuned by anyone else. In fact, I'll probably never have ANY of...

    How to make my v6 fast

    My 3.8 actually makes more than that w/ P&P Heads, Delk Cam, and STOCK intakes... so I bet you could definitely see 230whp+ with H/C/I from Delk and maybe some LT's. Throw some gears, a t-loc, and a few other bolt-ons in the mix, and you've got a fun little car.

    How to make my v6 fast

    Actually, here were your 2 points... Both of which are wrong. You also asked how much boost it takes to make 500hp. In the case of the first guy, it took just ~15psi to make 520whp... which is MUCH more than 500 crank hp. He could have made 500 crank horsepower with MUCH less boost. So...

    How to make my v6 fast

    I totally agree that there's more that will have to be done with the transmission, rear end, etc, to reliably run 500hp, but you did say... and ...both of which are compeletely and utterly INCORRECT, no matter how you slice it. You are competely correct that there's more to a...

    How to make my v6 fast

    Twin turbo and LT's ??? Wrong... it's been done, and it's been running for years. Wrong... Several stock longblock turbocharged 3.8's are making 350-400whp. Wrong... There are TONS of stock longblock, stock head gasket 3.8's on 10psi+... reliably. Well, a guy with a 2000 V6...

    Bowling Green - Focus ZX3 with a 331!!!!

    Wow... I thought that was that car. It was the 5.0 cover car a while ago. It made something like ~713whp on 12psi, and was just a knob-turn away from 30psi!!! Something like that... It's Saleen... the N20 Focus. Roush's Focus has an optional turbo for a power-adder.

    Anyone else still have their window sticker?

    When I checked a couple weeks ago, I was getting 30mpg around town in my 2.3 with 192,000 miles on the original engine. Runs great, no accidents, everything works... $500... and getting 30mpg, it's a Pretty good investment for a daily driver / future project car, I'd say. :D BTW, where...

    intake air temperature sensor

    That's somewhat my point. Ford isn't going to hurt the reliability or fuel efficiency of the V6 for a few hp, but would certainly go for a solution that gives even a little hp if it didn't have those trade-offs. Obviously, this little computer-tricking device DOES have some trade-offs, or they...

    intake air temperature sensor

    If something as simple and cheap as this really resulted in a ~5hp+ gain, and it didn't hamper reliability or fuel efficiency, Ford would do it, because a little extra power could help sales. The fact that NO ONE does this from the factory says that it either DOES or could hamper reliability or...

    Congrats to BOTTLEFED!!

    Haha... yeah, I'll probably pick up a couple extras as investments :D Also, as soon as I get the magazine, I can scan the cover and article for you, but I imagine someone will beat me to it since I've got to wait for it to hit newsstands.

    Congrats to BOTTLEFED!!

    Oh yeah... I thought I recognized your car on the cover... but it didn't register in my mind, if you know what I mean. A couple of very deserving cars for sure.

    Congrats to BOTTLEFED!!

    Same here. As of 10pm Wednesday night, no "Bottlefed Edition" Modified Mustang magazines at Barnes and Noble. Guess I'll have to go back and get one. I feel like framing one myself just because I like the car so much :D

    Congrats to BOTTLEFED!!

    Congrats... that is one sweet Notch. It's been a major contributer in my desire to build a Notchback Fox. I'll have to pick up one of those mags. Congrats again, Bottlefed. Blaine

    intake air temperature sensor

    If I remeber correctly, it is integrated into the MAF housing or something starting in '01, so you don't have a seperate little IAT sensor thing. Are you asking because you want to install a CAI and you have an extra hole for the IAT? If so, you just plug it. I have a '00, so I'm not...

    I think we need a special sub-forum devoted to GT owners asking if we'd like to swap decklids :D

    V6 with hood scoop - stock?

    I was thinking the same thing... and I guess the next guy confirmed it. I've always thought that, but I don't think I ever heard that it was the case for sure. Cool.
