I think your right. I have heard back from all of the charger companies and no one has plans on the V6 Mustang yet including Whipple. I guess i will wait for pullies, chip, and some 3.73's, and a srtut tower bar. Do you think 3.73's would void any warrentys? Hate to void a warrenty I just paid $2k for! Got a 4 year 100k mile warrenty.
Don't dispar... the aftermarket swore it would never make blowers for the 94-04 V6 cars. and now Vortech and Procharger make kits for them.
I'll make a prediction. People that can't afford a GT (or just want to be different) will buy V6's and eventually enough demand will warrent someone to make a kit for the V6. The big immediate demand will be blowers for the GT. But after a little while I think you will see at least Procharger step up to the plate. Look at Prochargers webstie. They make kits for a lot of different types of cars. Imports and domestics, 4, 6 and 8 cyclinders cars.
I wouldn't hold my breath for Kenne Bell though. It took them 5 years to release a blower for the 96-98 Mustang GT. WTF?
Screw them (no pun intended).

Screw them (no pun intended).Well it would be a year at least before I did any charging. But I am considering having gears done but I guess I need to wait until the diablo comes out so the computer can be adjusted for the new gears...Or do shops have a way of calibrating the computer otherwise? I'll send a couple of shops in the area an e-mail.
this question is kinda off topic, but are the internals stronger on the '05s b/c if they're not then ford is going to release a part thats gonna destroy their own engines, 450 at the crank comes out to a little more than 380 at the wheels, add to that the '05's being underrated hp wise and u get a messed up drivetrain, just a thought
I don't know for a fact but I would say alot of changes have been made to the 4.6 besides the # of valves and the intake. I would be willing to bet the new 4.6 is built with svt componets like lifters, pushrods, cams, and so forth only because the numbers this thing is putting out blows all the others away on a stock setup. I will see if I can get a hold of one of my wifes Uncles he works for Ford in Shrevport and everytime a new tranny or engine comes out he goes in to learn all the kinks/how to's/and how to modify them. He told me you could flip the cam pulley and increase hp on the 4.6's per ford. Don't know if it's true or not but it suppose to increase timing.
Hey I just thought of somethign you would be interested in for your V6 and your dreams of a positive displacement blower..... 
Check this out. The Ranger and Explorers use the same basic engine as the new V6 Mustang. http://www.explorerexpress.com/catalog/supercharger.html is developing soemthing you'll be interested in.

I don't know what the laws are in your state, but here in MI. If you alter your vehicle it DOES NOT void the warranty unless they can prove that the part you put on caused the failure you are claiming warranty service for.
Example- You put headers on your car and they burn your plug wires, the warranty will not cover your plug wires.
Example#2- You put headers on your car and your pinion seal goes out. Unless they can prove that your headers caused the pinoin seal to fail(unlikely) they have to honor the warranty.
They cannot "blanket void" a warranty, I've been down this road (with a lifted Super duty) and I havent lost an argument with a dealer yet.

But the 5.0 has 300 ft-lbs of torque vs the V6's 240 lbs and most 5.0's tend to be lighter.
Not to mention a bigger aftermarket.
But it's nice to see the V6 performance coming into it's own. Those early Sn95 V6's were rather slow. Even if the new V6 could eek out a high 14, i dunno if i can drive one. Driving a V6 and a V8 is just a whole different attitude to me.
I have looked at the explorer site. I know the old 5.0's had more torque but it was more like 270 and my 95 gt only came stock with 215 per the specs i found. As far an my gas mileage goes i think I may be getting better than 20 last time i filled up i put like 2 extra gallons in after it clicking off which will affect the way you calculate the avg. Not like i have a info center to tell me. Anyway I still love my car. I washed it today and she's pretty.
