Ok just got an 03 Mustang V6... Let me say it's slowwwww.... can't even do a burnout.. But obviously it has potential, just like every car... especially a 3.8 v6.

Anyways, what are some easy mods to start giving the car some horsepower?

Supercharger? Rockers?

My buddy said I should put a 4.11 gear in the back or something?

Any help i'd appreciate, thanks!

4.10 or 4.30 for our cars.

www.rpm-mustangs.com

www.supersixmotorsports.com

Superchargers are really expensive though.

Try true-dual exhaust and gears for alittle perkiness.

2000 V6 auto with a bit more torque and very little hp over stock, it'll burnout. I could floor it at a red light and wait a second with the tire spinning. Launch the car at 1000 rpms and tell me the right tire isn't spinning. Exhaust is under $500, gears can get up around $800 with install, chip, and a limited slip differential carrier. With the LS you get better traction so better takeoffs.

RPMOutlet.com is very good, they got a 2000 V6, that they're working on themselves...

I think some good things to start with would be, 4.10 gear, CAI (Cold Air Intake), Under Drive Pulley's, and X-Pipe Exhaust with true duals(sound better and give you maybe 20+hp).

Just my 2 cents...

Gears would be the best bang for your buck. But to keep up with a GT you'll have to spray a 100 shot at the very least. If you want to faster, don't waste your money on modding your 3.8L . Go with a 4.6L, 5.0L, or maybe a 5.7L if you like the Camaro's....

I had a 98 3.8L and I sold it for my GT. WELL worth it

3.73 gears from FRPP (Ford Racing Performance Parts)
T-lok from FRPP (spins both tires)
Cat-back exhaust
mid pipe (h or x)
re-tuned ECU (tuner or chip)
lowering springs
shocks/struts
K&N drop-in filter (stay away from full CAI kits unless you go with the FIPK from K&N)
Throttle body (www.rpm-mustangs.com they port/polish, etc.)

I beat a 94-98 GT style with my sixer. A 100 shot isn't the only way to beat a 99+ GT.
