a CAI will give 3-5, exhaust 8-10 (if only do duals, LT's add 15-20), UD pulley 8-10, intake spacer 7-10. stay away from a larger throttle body, throttle body spacer, and a larger maf. they will do nothing until you have engine work (h/c/i) or FI. Xcal2 will do wonders if you have an auto. so will gears/t-lok, but thats not exactly cheap.

Cheap HP?? Drive down a hill.
Or, better yet, if you're sick of life and just can't take it anymore, drive off a cliff! Even more free HP.. but it's pretty much one time only.
If you're going to do that, though, do it in a rice burner. The cliff-power move works much better in hondas with fartcan mufflers.. something about the aerodynamics..

I knew there was a reason they stuck wings on their cars!

Throw a couple stickers at it before you do. I've heard if you remove the emblems off of the side, the aerodynamics increase, giving you up to a 30% decrease off of your quarter mile time...
Pulley $180, intake MANIFOLD spacer $100 in supplies to make one as no one sells them (TB spacer is one large paperweight), exhaust $300-400, XCal-2 $380, gears+traction-lok $500+install. That's about the basic stuff. http://www.vmptuning.com some of the cheapest prices you will find.
And actually, if you run off a cliff, the terminal velocity of a 3500 pound vehicle with a drag coefficient of .36 and a frontal area of about 25 feet is quite high, the acceleration is 9.8m/s due to gravity, so you would be creating more power than anyone has even seen in a car, AND it will be perfectly backed by the laws of mathematical physics. Load up a ricer with 2000 lbs of stuff and roll them off, then they win, or fly, not sure which they try to do.

Really?!? I have a red top Optima... dude, that means I'm up to 185hp... cool... so now all I need is about 50 decals on my windows, and I can smoke an 03-04 Terminator Cobra!

:> this thread is becoming fun. Where have you been lately TMX?
rpmoutlet.com has a pretty good selection of V6 mustang performance parts.

going to school full time and working full time, I get VERY little free time. Fuel pump was going bad so I stuck a new aftermarket pump in there this morning, works like a charm. The aftermarket high-performance pump was over $100 cheaper, and runs perfect. As far as parts go, I have found VMP cheaper at times, RPM may ship quicker (they are on the other side of town from me lol) but I like cheapness cause well, school sucked my wallet dry.
Honestly... have you guys ever seen an actual dyno sheet of the hp gains w/ basic intake and exhaust? Just curious... because personally I am a skeptic... I imagine really togethere gaining more than 5 hp but I imagine actually losing torque (in a sixer anyway- because I have actually personally felt insane gains on other cars)... idk though
Probably if we can get any gains.. we will have to pay to play... not just cheap ****
