No horsepower
I have a 2000 V6, has off brand cai and dual exhaust. I can mash the gas and it doesn't have any get up,, it does have exhaust leak,, but wouldn't think that would make it seem so sluggish.. Any suggestions??

I have an 04 3.8l with cai and full exhaust. I haven't bothered with doing anything to mine as its my dd and I finally bought a mach 1 so I no longer need my v6 to be quicker but from what ive heard from most people gears is a good start on a v6. otherwise forced induction is really the only other thing that will really be worth the money imo

you need a tune up! plugs, wires, oil, clean air filter, fuel treatment and inspect all lines and belts. I would also look into a radiator and trans flush.

Well when you say things like "latley" it makes it sound like you have had the car. My advice, do the proper service on the car and then progress from that point.

Thank you for the advise,, when you work all the time and other things,, stuff kinda gets push to the side,, I've def. got to get it serviced, just wasn't sure if there may had been something else making it run sluggish.

If you are going to spend that kind of money trying to give a v6 around 275 hp, sell the car and take the money you were gonna spend on a supercharger, and bolt ons, and put it towards a v8 Mustang
