give my 3.8 more power for cheap?
 

lookin for some inexspensive ways to give my 3.8 more power

250 shot of NOS!!!!!

haha thatd kill my car. but if i did hook nitrous up where could i get a cheap kit an about how much could my 3.8 handle without hurtin it? i figured just like a 75 shot

why did you start a new thread?

Ya, he is asking the same thing in 2 places.

used kits can be found on craigslist and carolinarides where i see you are a member. remember search the for sale before you make a wtb thread

Sorry didn't mean to make a new thread.
Thought I was postin on the one I already had

dang V6 owners...can't even trust them with a keyboard... :boohoo:

NOS it!!!

But will nos burn up my pistons?

Yes, and it will blow the welds on the intake.

WHYYYYYYY SOOOOOOOO SEEERRRRIIIIOOOSSSSS?

U a grudge racer now changin your signature...

Sorry for the thread jack

Put an intake, cat-back, and a tune with a 50 shot and save up for something that comes stock with a little more power. Maybe find a used centrifigal supercharger kit somewhere that fits it, that you could make 7-9 lbs of boost.

Or this...^^^^^^^^^^^^

Changed my sig since I don't know what the car makes for power anymore and the turd hasn't been to the track in forever so why show times? Grudge racer? Hahaha I wouldn't have a chance hiding what my car runs or could run.


Back on topic, an intake and good shot of nitrous would be all I would do. The 3.8 from Ford isn't a very good sounding motor so exhaust wouldn't be very high on my list.

I can give you a run down on some things to make a 3.8 respectable and be N/A.

Longtubes, exhaust, CAI, tune, and 4.10s. Ive driven a car with those mods and on plain street tires, it went a 9.6. Thats very respectable IMO for a v6 with minimal mods. On good tires and a rear that made both of them spin :hysterical:, id say its good for a 9.2/9.3 how it sat.

O, and this was a 5 speed car, and a girls car at that!

There are also head/cam packages for a 3.8 that makes them wake up. Just research some v6 mustang boards and you will be suprised at what you find im sure. I know theres a stock internal, cammed, nitrous one that runs 12.2 in the 1/4. Thats gettin it done with a v6.

Thats a lot of money to spend to still have a v6.

roughly $1000??? Those are mods that dont hurt anything or ever get used up....Id say its a smart $1000. Hell, if he sprays or supercharged it, then he'd already have longtubes and gears so hes headin in the right direction.
