Hey Guy's I want to take a poll and see what Top 5 "Go Fast" parts or Mods you did or would do if you were me? Be Specific!!

Thanks, Joe

Example:
1. Change Stock muffler (put on true duals)
2. CAI (C&L with Tune)
3. etc...

 

Post edited, oops, just noticed that this was the V6 section, sorry.

 

I would do similiar to what you chose: (bolt ons only I assume)

1. CAI/Tune
2. Muffler
3. LSD/Gears
4. LCA
5. PHP Pulley

*TB Bypass (Free mod)

 

Yes......I was assuming Bolt-On Only. What is the TB Bypass??

 

Turns out that the 2005's have a HEATED Throttle Body! Not sure if the 06/07's do or not... but basically in the 2005, there is HOT engine coolant running through the bottom of the TB... Now proof of actual gains... but at least in theory it has to help... LOL!

I've got a write up here: http://www.v6john.com/Main/Performan.../tb_bypass.htm

 

WOW.................I'm finding out new stuff everyday!! Any updates on the power gains from this Mod?? Thanks!

 

Come on guys................Everybody chime in on this one!!

 

I'd try this:

1 - CAI/Tune (I recommend Bamachips!)
2 - Underdrive Pulley
3 - Muffler or duals if you'd like
4 - Gears (3.73's or 4.10's)
5 - Headers (long tubes or short tubes)

Enjoy!

 

Were you pleased with your JLT CAI w/Tune???

 

I got a TI cai and xcal tuned by bama. Best money I've ever spent on a car. Great deal looks good and its faster!
XCAL2
CAI
muffler
Under drive pulleys
Gears

 

Slowjoe24 - Yeah. I've been really pleased with my JLT and tunes from Bamachips. Doug installed it all himself and the car just flat out hauls now. The race tune will put you in the back of your seat so hard. It's fun! Haven't ridden in a V6 with the same CAI and tune but I'm sure the effect will be similar with just less gains in hp/tq.

 

Thanks............I hear alot of folks say "Doug @ Bamachips is the Man"

 

Yeah, he definately is. You should look him up since you live in Alabama too.

 

I'm saving my $$ and may do that soon!

 

Did anybody read the V6 Bolt-On article in the new 5.0 Mustangs and Fast Fords this month?
The ASP Pulley Mod added approx. 10 RWHP That Rocks!!

 

free things that will make you go faster
1. remove all that heavy stereo gear.
2. remove your carpet underlayment
3. remove the insulation behind yout rear quarter panel trim (interior)
4. no more than 1/2 tank gas
5. remove your rear seat and cover the space with a black sheet.

On subject and after you change your fuel filter and plugs
1 CAI/tuner
2 gears/lsd
3 exhaust
4 tires
5 LCA's

But you won't be able to stop there!!!!

 

Spot on Dude..................Great Ideas, but You are correct this stuff is addictive!

 

Bump

 

I was kinda disappointed by that article. I've heard and seen some conflicting data on the pulley and mufflers as well. It seems to me as if they didn't try to hard to really get the most out of the car. I've seen people from different boards with alot more power gained from MUFFLER, CAI AND XCAL and they state 10HP from the pulley. I've haven't seen that myself,. Now I'm hoping that others will prove me wrong so I know where to go next. I hope this helps.

 

Good point.................I guess time will tell. There is also a good article in the newest issue (Jan. 2007) of "Mustang Enthuseist" on V6 toy box!! It was loaded with goodies for the V6's!!
