Are there anythings I can do to gain horsepower in my 2002 V6 3.8L pony? Things besides K&N CAI, and dual exhaust. I know of tuners but are they worth the money to increase power? Unfortunatly they dont make turbo's or superchargers for V6's yet:(

well they do make superchager and u can get a custom turbo and maybe tma making a kit soon. But most importantly you need to upgrade your driveline any way. tlock and gears are the way to go with a tuner. Windstar intake soon after. remember brakes and supports are important too. subframe connectors, shocks,springs,strut bar.

Might I suggest a PowerPack from the good folkx at SuperSix Motorsports. It'll definitely give you a lot of bang for your buck AND it'll make for a good foundation for any planned forced induction upgrades down the line.

I looked up Super 6, nice to know they exist ... in case I decide the soon to be daily driver needs some help!! For all the readers in the V6 section. There is a huge Mustang community in Seoul Korea! I just discovered that this afternoon after I saw a Mustang being pulled out of garage in the "high rent" district ($5M or more homes). The guy told me that the Ford dealers here only sell V6s though his had GT badges, a Shelby hood, 20" rims and cat back. Black convertible with orange stipes. Sounds odd - looked great!

Procharger is the only brand with a kit out right now for our sixers, vortech use to have one but they stopped making it for some reason

trust me tuner and gear/tlock combo for now then if u wanna supercharge your car is ready. That the way i'm going except i'm upgrading the brakes and adding lowering springs with new shocks and sub frame connectors

Yeah at 11 psi they claim to whoop down on a cobra lmao but I don't think it's the terminator version, since you would only have about 350hp from that level of boost on a stock motor, and I wouldn't bother getting a CAI if you plan on putting the procharger kit on there since it will be useless due to all new intake configuration however exhaust is a great thing to already have done for the new higher flowing setup

tlock and gears i ment for combo offer a big boast. Also you need bigger fule injector and fuel pump, a tune,spark plugs

to be clear, only do that at the same time you put the supercharger in, i mean youcan do the fuel pump earlier on but dont change injectors until you need to

Well for the 11 psi procharger kit they have bigger ones so I think you need it

wait till you buy the kits sometimes the kits come with stuff.
