Street racing is bad mmmkay.

But, I know what you mean. Only going to get worse with the 305hp 3.7L V6s coming.

Ah man now you've opened a can of worms.
The best advice is to come up with a gameplan and a $budget$ and stick to it as close as possible.

Fast, reliable, cheap....you can only pick 2 of the 3

I would keep an eye out for a used supercharger kit or buy a trick flow top end kit. Good luck!

SO what about the v6 stangs.. Truth be told it is the heads holding the car back. Force air thru it to get your c.i. worth OR h/c/i it. You will be around 350HP either way and A LOT more TQ than any v6 can muster no matter what they do to it. TQ wins.

I was messing with an '04 Mach 1 the other day (NOT a street race, which I never partake in ) and got my a$$ handed to me once we got a little speed (though I had him off the line to 30 or 40 and can't help to wonder how much better I would have done with the 3.55s I plan on installing soon.)

Anyway, I've driven foxes for the last 20+ years and remember when the cars were new and on top of the food chain. Those days have passed.

However, they are still great fun to drive even in stock form and they'll always be my favorite "late model" Mustang, regardless of the performance of the new models. (Though I will have to test drive the '11.)

lol true but your limited by the amount you can use depending on your internals and block.


Granted driver ability was a big part of this but Ive left other stang owners doing at the track when they realized they just got beat by a car with no boost. Boosted Modular Pwned by NA Pushrod
