94-94 = 145, but in 96-98 you get a big 5hp gain

What can i do to increa that...... majorly.. since it will cost too much to drop a 302 in it. Thall will be just as good as a 302

Nothing that is just a 'bolt-on'. If you want real power out of your sixer you need to do some major work on it. Either through head/intake/cam/tune work, or through forced induction, or both. Both cost money. Parts for the engine work will be more than a grand, and you would have to DIY unless you want to spend more ca$h. Supercharging is popular but runs in the low thousands as far as cost.
Easiest way to have power under your right foot is buy a different car(GT/Cobra).

ATI Procharger, it will give your mustang GT performance for about 3-4 thousand dollars and its something you can do. or you can spend about the same about of money and buy a 302 and drivetrain to match. it all depends on your abaility as a mechanic or the friends you have that will work for beer. the problem i have with spending so much money on a supercharger is that it only gives you mustang GT performance levels. but at least youd be able to kill most ricers

I think im just gonna keep the car as is right now.. cause its nice.. its sexy... girls love it... good for backseat banging. And then summer time im getting a job as town police and sceuirt.. which pay nice.. so i shoul have 2k for selling my old car now.. that ill keep.. and then ill sell the stang in the summer time.. mayb get 2k for it.. then have money from my job now... and then ill buy a newer mustang gt. Cause right now.. it really isnt that slow for a v6.. i was surprised.

if you get ported and polished heads/cam/intakes with bolt ons and a nice dyno you can see 240rwhp/tq since you have a manual. vs your stock rwhp of 125-130....

Maybe...maybe on a 99+. I doubt you can achieve 240rwhp on a pre99 N/A.

you would be amazed what they will do with heads/cam/intakes ... i have seen MANY put down 220rwhp - 250rwhp with a 3.8. my friends low compression n/a (8.3 to 1 comp) 4.2 with home ported intakes and ported/polished heads along with gears out back (manual tranny) and other bolt ons is putting down 235rwhp and 290rwtq and doing 13.2s in the quarter.

the sad fact is the single port n/a motors with heads/intake/cam/bolt ons vs 99+ with heads/intake/cam/boltons put down nearly the SAME power.

13's nice. I might rethink the heads/cam/intakes idea.
