Any one using a cheap "performance chip"?
Has anyone tried one of these "$15" plug into the harness "performance Chips",... they claim 10-20 RWHP???????? I find it hard to believe. I am new to the "tuner game"... Carburated V8's (289, 302, 347, 351W) all my life...
A just bought a 2005 V6/Auto Transmission 'Stang, completely stock except for a K&N filter, JBA True Dual Exhaust and the GT Body Kit. ALso 2006 18x8.5 Mustang GT Wheels on BFG G-Force Tires. (I'll try to attach Pic).
The exhaust sounds pretty good... somewhat throaty, not as buzzy and some V6's I've heard....
I want to GO fast.....
I know this isn't a V8, But.....
Soon adding JBA, MAC or BBK Headers (please help me out with this decision), Maybe a tuner (Superchip, Diablo... Again, please point me in the right direction)..
What else (short of a Supercharger or NOS) can get the HP and Torque up?? I want this baby to ROAR!!!
I was also thinking about some lowering springs, but I don't want a STIFFER ride. Also with the 18" 's clearance my be an issue?!??!?!
Thanks,
RZ

I would do the PHP alternator pulley, same gains and less than the UDP. Headers are not yet dyno proven on our cars by a member, but from what I read LT's are the way to go, might want to look into a set of high flow cats, or perhaps some fake cats.
I would get a TI or C&L CAI with a tune. I hear the JLT yeilds the same gains as the TI/C&L as well. Avoid the AEM, it was dyno test to show no gain over the stock airbox.

350hp V6 Stang
HERE's HOW I'll GIT 'ER DONE:
K&N + CAI= 20HP
New Exhaust + Headers= 25HP
Helix Throttle Body Spacer= 25HP
PLUG into a sensor "PERFORMANCE CHIP"= 20HP
+ The Stock 210HP my MUSTANG already has..... I am up to ...300HP and I havn't even add my Underdrive Pulleys for that extra 10HP...
OMG, Thats....310HP I know, I'll add the ELECTRIC POWERED SUPERCHARGER for an additional 25HP now Iam up to 335HP...
OK NOW I'll get serious... add a Superchips Tune (+25HP)
HELLO 350HP.
Thats NOT Dyno-proven of course. HAHA
PS. Soon I am also adding the ROUSH Turbomatic Genuine Artificial Immitation Leatherette trimmed plush Nylon-Pile carpet underlayment protectors (AKA floor mats) that COULD to be worth an addition 12-18HP.
What do you think??
