Need to make my v6 mustang faster

[stang315]

ok hears the deal i work at a car dealership, and im learning stuff from the mechanics there as much as possible, but they really just know the basic car knowlege. I have a bout 200$ a week to play with and sink into my car, so can anybody give me some kind of tip to juice my car up on this budget?

The first thing I would do is gears.

It would help us to make a sig. What year is the car? What transmission? What have you done already?

 

[stang315]

its a 1995 , standard trans, and all ive done so far is cold air intake

I still say gears next. 3.73's would be good, but if you do a lot of hwy driving then 3.55 will help save some mileage.

After that it just depends on how far into you want to get. Exhaust would be a simple mod to have done.

I would look at doing a split port swap. A lot of '94-'95 3.8's have head gasket issues anyways, so it'd be a two birds with one stone kind of thing; pick up at least 40hp and avoid a potential problem. There are now a decent number of '99-'04 cars in salvage yards to get the split port parts from.

BTW, if you do find a '99-'04 car in a yard, grab the front brake calipers as well. The difference is crazy. I miss the brakes in my '01 V6. But my '95 is getting Cobra calipers up front tomorrow.

yea the exaust is coming really soon its either that or the paint job next and then probably the gears like u said
1.any good sites for stang parts (where i could maybe find gears ext.)

You are only limited to 3.73's and 4.10's in a 7.5" rear . You will need to upgrade to a 8.8" if you want 3.55's.

american muscle sells them but I would get a FRPP set over Motive.
