If you have the heads off, I highly recommend the split port swap. If you mechanically inclined , its a sinch!
not to knock anyone but when i see people talk about putting twin turbos on a v6 it just makes me laugh everytime. Get a GT and TT it and then we've actually got sometime worth dealing with. Keep the sixers as the DD and get a nice GT. end of story.
Justin at VMP tuning has a stock 3.8L with twin turbos pushing over 400rwhp. that's quite a bit of power for not alot of money.

put the twin turbos on the v8 is all im saying. If you wanna put tt on a 3.8 that's all fine and dandy.
yeah, but $ for $ the V6 wins under 500hp.
I see no point in modding a V6. Just my opinion. I own one. It's a daily driver. Nothing more.

Well I feel your opinions line up with mineWell, that being said about opinions, here's mine:
People who brag about having V8's and say that, "modding V6es is pointless and stupid," are idiots.
You can't fault a 16-25 yr-old for modding a V6. Everyone drives what they can afford(well some don't, but those'll get repo'd ), and all car people will mod their cars. Nothing wrong with taking pride in your car.
That said, those that spend thousands of dollars modding V6es to "go V8 hunting" are also idiots. If you have thousands of dollars to blow on stroking and F/I'ing a V6, you have enough to get a V8 project car on the side, or upgrade to a V8. The V8 cars will always have more potential than the 3.8. The only reason to want to build a V6 to beat GT's is just because you can't swallow the times GT owners handed you your ass at stoplights. IMO, get over it and just be proud it was a Mustang that beat you.
It's just like the idiot ricers that talk about 4-bangers beating Mustangs. Really, who cares? Just cause the 15 yr-old Honda their parents gave them got raped by Mustangs on a daily basis, they're gonna spend the rest of their life pouring money into crappy import cars cause they couldn't swallow their pride.
It doesn't make sense for them, and it doesn't make sense for V6 Mustang owners. And V8 Mustang owners that come in here and talk crap, don't help the problem either.
