stock 92 gt said:
to add around 220-240 rwhp? everything from tranny to engine.. also i would like some if you know of anything good that will help (i'm sure you do.) suspensions mods. i use the searchbut the onfo is so out there and jumbled i cant get a good list. i would like (please) for a person or ppl come to this one thread and post mods. example: anything from UD pullies-to chips (and not lays either lol). help me please. just got the 2006 v6. quick but not quick enough and i dont really want to go with a power adder. i just want to be 99-04 gt quick.
This is what I had on mine before I went to the Turbo:
MMR Intake w/ Hi-Flow Tube: A good but overpriced piece of gear. I believe the C&L has dyno'd better gains and is cheaper.
SCT XCAL2 93 Octane Tune: Going from an 87 Octane tune to a 93 Octane Tune netted me 6 RWHP and 9 RWTQ!!
3.73 Ford Racing Gears: Pick your ratio, but this is what I went with.
Detroit TrueTrac: A strong, worm geared LSD.
T/A Girdle: For that extra support!
MAC Long Tube Headers: These increased my HP and Torque and sounded mean!! Only butt dyno to confirm, but I definitely noticed a difference in torque and responsiveness.
MAC Prochamber with Hi Flo Cats: Smoothed out the thin sound our engine can get at high RPMs. With the headers, mean!!
JBA Mufflers: I love the muscular "performance" sound of these mufflers, especially with the turbo. The JBAs worked well with the headers/chamber, but I think the
Flowmaster American thunders would sound better.
These mods should get you to your desired HP range if you are a manual. I did not dyno after I put on the LTs/Chamber and went to duals. Before the LTs/Chamber and duals, I was at 205 RWHP and 239 RWTQ. I felt a noticeable difference when I added the LT/Chamber, et al, but was waiting until I put my
suspension mods on before I dyno'd. And then I got an offer on a turbo I couldn't refuse.
With the set-up I just described, my car felt very quick. If you used the C&L vice the MMR, you would squeeze an extra 3 HP (SCRMING replaced his MMR with a C&L and dyno'd). I truly believe that with a manual, you will either achieve or be very, very close to your goal. Add a UD from ASP (available at RPMoutlets), and you should be squarely in the middle of your desired range.
As far as delivering power to the ground, LCAs are a great place to start your
suspension mods. I would also replace the
panhard bar and brace and get a UCA.
