Need Advice On Increasing Horsepower.

importdestroyer · 05-10-2009

I have a 2005 4.0L V6 Mustang. I have an exhaust kit on it. I am wondering what would give it more power at a reasonable price. Any advice? anything would be appreciated.

this whole site is full of good advice. How fast do you want to go and how much $$$ do you have. CAI and a tune best first step though. Supercharger or Turbo charger the ultimate

cai and a tune would make a huge differance but if you want to get a super charger than i would stay away from a cai and tune cause the supercharger will come with its own air intake

I have money, but im still making car payments. I'm more concerned about 0-60 than anything. I'm more of an accerlation guy than top speed. Any suggestions?

if you get a cai and a tune i went with tillman speed and Chris Rose for a tune you cant go wrong with them

Would a BBK throttle body help at all? and would the power difference be noticable? I found one at american muscle.

i noticed more power and ive seen a dyno sheet on here that proved 8+ rwhp before and after a zabtec 70mm throttle body

tune along with intake, gears and tlok, nitrous. If you have more money go with a super charger or turbo. Like little6xer said, the SC's usually come with their own intake. IMO I would still get the intake with a tune if the SC is far off in the future.

4.10s or 3.73 gears might be what you are looking for. Do some research on these gear ratios on the forum and you will find a TON of results

4:10s for accelleration. 3:73s if youre planning f/i
