Default 2005 v6 modifactions

i have a 2005 v6 mustang and ive had it for about 2 years now and its been getting the job done but now all my friends are starting to make there car faster and i want to be able to keep up with them. i have dual magna flows cat back and thats it. ive been looking into the bbk 70 mm throtle body and bbk intake and programmer. also im getting the x-pipe next week and probably headers. are there any other mods around the same price that would give me more bang for my buck? thanks alex

Well shorty headers really aren't doing to do your v6 any good. Look into other mods and save the money. The best mod is a cai/tune combo from Tillman, Brenspeed, or Bamachips. A bigger set of gears will also make you accel faster. After that look into an aluminum driveshaft and screamon demon coils. Do a forums search, millions have asked similar questions.

And Welcome to the forums.

get a supercharger,,,Xcharger in particular, most bang for the buck. Safe and reliable. a fairly simple bolt on and you can use some of the goodies you already have

your on the right track with those mods. If you really want to increase your acceleration off the line the next step would be gears and t-lok.I have a brand new set of 4.10 gears and ford racing traction-lok for sale along with a master bearing kit. They usually sell for about $465-475 for that total kit but i'm selling it brand new in the box for one hundred dollars less on the classifieds.PM me if your interested.

the TB is worthless

go long tube headers

CAI tune is a good set up and potent mix for stock
along with the scremin demon coil. how much cash you got?

welcome to AFM and the forums. get the cai/sct tuner/custom tunes combo. chris rose at tillman speed is working right now on a hot shift pattern for the v6. get a price from him on the combo. going with the jlt will save you some money and give great performance.
