So I just got a 2007 V6 mustang. Ya I know it's a V6 but that's all I could buy at the moment. But I was wondering what I could do to get a whole lot more horsepower out of it. Already have headers and air intake done. I was also thinking of an engine swap to a carbureted engine. I have a built 302 with aluminum heads,aluminum block, bored over etc. Would that be a good option to do? This car will stay my daily driver to

Put a super charger on it...way easier and more cost effective. Also not too common of a build.

I was thinking the same thing....

There are guys out there making stupid power with the v6, all it takes is a little boost.

on my 07 v6 I have a x-charger ca spec and could not be happier with the amount of fun I have on the street. only give away is the great old school sound of a eaton at a red light 'yes it is costly the kit can be installed in a day with simple hand tools and a helper to move the blower and manifold into place
