make a junkyard turbo kit...find some turbo manifolds, buy 1 or 2 old T3s off of a turbo tbird, an intercooler off of a starion/conquest or someother factory intercooled car, custom intercooler piping, and then make sure you have enough fuel
would be pretty sweet if ya ask me...but juice is a good option if all that sounds like too much work
-
buy some headers, exhaust and my nitrous kit and go fast, or just trade it in for a gt, the gt sounds like a good idea to me, one more thing dont listen to 2 wheeler about nitrous he's brake to much shit, haha
-
I wouldn't go nitrous either, I'd recomend exhaust, intake, underdrive pulley, and if you up for spending the cash turbo and a new rearend with 4.1 gears and t-loc. The ford v6 isn't the best for handling lots of hp, so if thats what you want get the chevy v6 or a 5.o.

Hey one of you stangs wanna race

Would be fun, probally beat easy though, I'm still stock. what 1/4 you running?
-
the 3.8muststang guys have had problems blowing shit, unless your putting allot of aftermarket parts on with a power adder its not recomended. from my research experience, it would probally be cheaper to buy the 5.0 than to push the v6 past 300 and start blowing shit.

depends who you're talking to. You could push 250Hp into that motor and blow it up if it's not tuned right. I've got a buddy who's looking for 300 or 350 out of an aftercooled vortech setup on a 3.8 thunderbird (yes, same motor) with the stock bottom end (ported heads and a cam on top), and with a "GOOD" tune it should last a while (although he's planning a new bottom end). Now there's always the option of building a 4.3 (stroked 4.2L), which can be done fairly cheaply (talking to this same buddy) if you know what you're doing.
Depends what you're looking for the car to do. If you've got the money and the knowledge, things can happen (heck, find info about Pete Campbell and his real quick 4.3 project stang).

I agree with ya dubsy, i wasnt saying he can't do it, shane wanted opinions, i was just putting the warning out there before he went nos happy.
-
I'm not sure on what I will run but I guess I'll find out on the 5th.
-
i didnt say not to use nitrous i was just trying to give 2wheeler shit, nitrous is fun and cheap and somewhat reliable if used correctly, if u go around being scared of breaking something u shouldnt be driving a car let alone racing one, have fun live life and break something!
-
Well that buddy I was talking about. Just put down 255/273 on a superflow dyno (I think dynojet conversions put it about 20hp/20tq higher) with a Vortech blown (8psi), aftercooled setup with RGR ported heads and a cam...(and a few other essentials)
I was talking to him and he was a bit worried about turning his block into swiss cheese and shut it down before the car ran out of power.

nah 351 have there limits just like anyother engineoh yeah.....i'm not saying they're spectacular or anything. just figuring if you do a swap.........a 351 will have more potential in the long run than a 302....and way more potential than the 3.8 he's talking about.
