Default What can I do for my 2005 V6?

I have had my mustang almost a year now, and I feel it is about time to upgrade it with performance parts. I already have an upgraded dual exhaust system. I am also going to put in a cold air intake in it soon. Other then a bigger throttle body, underdrive pulley im not sure what else to do. So any help would be appreciated

get a power programmer, there are several different brands.

get an LSD if you don't already have one (cant remember if the new V6 has them installed @ factory)

the best thing to do is sit down, create a budget and how much power you want to get out of the car.

THEN, stick to the budget

Truthfully i am open to any amount of money. Id work endless hours to be able to get parts for my car. So budget isnt really a problem, its just time to get the parts. And as for power as much as i can get. My parents wouldnt let me get a GT or a manual mustang so im going to have to do with what i have. So any hp is good hp to me.

Plus I want to find a way to eliminate my limiters on the vehicle.

to remove the rev limiter, definately need a programmer.

Get some headers with high-flow CATS, install MIL eliminators in lieu of the O2 sensors.

a dry NO2 system is pretty cheap as well.

He probably wants you to get it so he can drive it, or at least live vicariously through you......
