Hey guys. So this is my first real post on here. Im sure you've been asked plently of times, but right now i have a 1994 v6 mustang 5spd, and im looking to make it faster. as of right now the only modifications i have done is a bomz racing cold air intake, and a flowmaster force II catback exhaust. I know that stock the 94's only get like 145 hp or so, so im looking to improve that as much as i can without spending a ton of money...and im also thinking about maybe a few weight reductions, such as a carbon fiber hood or something along those lines. I'd like to get it done by the summer cuz me and my friend are thinking about going up to lebanon this summer just for fun, he has a 2000 v6 mustang. so we were just going to go up there and mess around for the day. but if theres anything you guys can think of to help me out, I'd definently appreciate it. Thanks.
3.73 gears will make you quicker but not faster and get rid of your stock mid pipe and i do beleave you have the year where you can do a split port swap and underdrive pulleys and screamon deamon coil says it takes alot off your 0-60 but i havent tried it yet hope this helps

when you mean split port swap do you mean changing the stock intake manifold for the manifold off a 99-04?

You may want to get a tlok too while doing the gears you will save a little by doing that.. add a short throw shifter, long tube headers, a tune....
Do you guys think those would be okay? or do you have any reccomendations?
Also, do you know of any places that i could order a shortthrow shifter? I'm having trouble finding them for a '94. and are they hard to put in?
Another thing I was thinking about doing is getting an underdrive pulley kit. what are your guy's opinions on those?
Sorry, Im kind of new at this. This is the first car I've ever wanted to build up and make faster and stuff.
I personally love Mac but i'm not sure who it will sound on your car you will also need a shorty midpipe. now about the shifter have you looked on american muscle, ebay?? you said you're new so I"m not sure if you're already familiar with those sites. and they're easy to install I think they have instructions. Udp for me will be one of the last things to do. Oh and We are here to learn so don't worry about it
and to AFM..
Personally the gears and short throw shifter will not help you get the kind of power you are looking for and to tell you the true they wont do anything but help you get off the line faster and who cares about that if you just messing around and not drag racing...your best bet it to go with long tube headers...intake manifold...throttle body...a tune will help the most...if you want to really get more power your going to have to spend a lil more money on stuff...but those should help you gain some decent hp...oh and another thing no point in really putting gears in a diff that isnt posy just my opinion...good luck any other questions just ask.
With all those things together it will be more than 700 bucks! and gears help on any shift not just the start line they get you quicker on the band so its on any speed..
OP: I haven't tried that short shifter and I haven't heard of it but I were you I would put a good brand on it...
The biggest bang for your buck will be a split port swap which inlcudes swapping the upper & lower intake, and heads with a 99-04 sixxer (probably more to it, just wait and someone will list everything needed).
A throttle body wont do you any good and is a waste of money unless you plane on going forced induction (or F/I which includes a turbo or supercharger of some kind).
You will feel gears more than any bolt on you do, so it's always a good idea to upgrade your gears and get a posi preferably at the same time since your gunna be in that area anyways. It won't add any hp but it will make your car more fun to drive (from what I hear).
MAC long tubes would be a nice addition. They'll give you a deeper sound, and make you car louder. They're also good for about 5-9 hp i believe. Just make sure you don't have emissions testing where you live. You can get the mid pipe custom made at a shop if you don't want to shell out the extra cash for MACs midpipe.
Since you have a catback exhaust I'm going to assume you have true duals and a CAI here's what I would do:
Split Port swap (if feasible)
LT headers
UDP
gears (3.73) & posi
tuner
Thats about it when it comes to cheap (not really cheap) HP as far as I know. If you want more, you'll have to dig into the engine a little. Ported upper and lower intake, ported and polished heads, cam ect. . .
If you don't want to dig into your engine and still want some things to mod, you can get an aluminum driveshaft and flywheel which frees up some HP (lessens rotational mass). Short throw shifter is also nice. If you do a splitport swap, theres a windstar upper intake manifold you can throw on there. Don't forget about your suspension though.

Do a Split Port swap from a 99-04 v6. You can take the heads and intake off of one of them and put it on your engine. You will pick up 40 HP and will have the same HP as your buddy's car. After that, look into a performance tuner like the X3 i have. That could get you around 10-15 rwhp. UD Pulleys are an ok mod, they won't free up enough power to really feel it. Check out VAPauto.com. They sell an upper and lower intake spacer which will give you some more torque, or a windstar intake swap if you decide to take the heads off a 99-04 and put them on your car. If you don't have dual exhaust, that would be a great mod too. 3.73 gears and t-lok will also give it a pep in its step when accelerating. Thats about it for useful bolton mods. If you have the money and still want more, look at SuperSixMotorsports.com or go with a power adder like nitrous, supercharger, or turbo.

I havn't heard too many good things about the intake spacer. I've heard more "its useless" than I have "it makes a difference". Just what I heard though.

There is a difference between a Throttle Body Spacer and a upper and lower intake spacer. An Upper/Lower intake spacer goes between the upper and lower intakes, lengthening the runners, giving you more torque. VAPauto.com sells the upper/lower intake spacer and you can definitely feel the increase in power.
