I have a 40th year anniversary edition dark grey mustang. It is stock and I want to make it faster... what should I do if I am on a low budget?
Your question is answered dozens of times on these boards, everyone wants to know how to get a little extra "umph" outta their V6er with low cost. First off, High Performance goes hand in hand with High Cost..very unfortunate.
But for the basics..
Get a
cold air intake- its not going to push you to your seat with force, but invest in a fairly decent intake. Some people buy the "Ebay Special" no name and they say the product is great..I personally would rather spend the extra cash and get something from a familier company, it just looks more professional under the hood.
Dual Exhaust can be done two differant ways. You can get a catback for the V6 that will attach right to your Y pipe, or you can get an Hpip to replace your Y pipe and use any GT cat back kit. The benefit in that is your getting less restriction.
Maybe a larger throttle body, if you think its worth it.
Make both wheels peel with a trac-loc in the back. Give your car posi.
With the trac-loc you could toss in some bigger gears..3.73 or 4.10..keep in mind it'll hurt yout wallet at the pump if you go with big gears, definently does nothing to help with gas milage.
DO NOT put any form of "R Racing" stickers..its a lie, gawdy stickers do not add HP..and neither do coffee cans for mufflers.
Keep some of that stuff in mind, and good luck.
