1000 dallors of horsepower

[05STANGnick]

Alright I posted a poll before and so far the results are too close to call. so, heres the situation I am going to order a 2006 v6 mustang with the pony package and Im woundering will it be fast. the deal is I have 1000 dallors to spend and I want to make the most of them in a horsepower and acceleration aspect
sorry about spelling I was rushed

From what I understand the pony package is upgrades in appearance only... with exception of traction control...

It also includes the sway bar, and the 18 inch wheels and tires.

With an extra thousand sitting in my pocket, I'd probably go with a CAI/Xcal tune plus a free flowing single axle-back exhaust, like the Ford Racing (Borla) or Magnaflow. That would probably put you right around $1000.

I haven't done a tune or intake yet... I've yet to see a CAI that I really dig.

if you can only do one mod..... make it an X-Cal... (or x-cal2)

first 475 dallors

I was thinking getting this air intake and xcalibrator for starters. I think this packadge off ebay is a pretty good deal

I'm not usually someone who corrects someone else, but it's spelled DOLLARS. The spelling in this post brings down the intellect of us all. but yea I would go w/ SCT

 

[rygenstormlocke]

That looks like a MAC intake which is usually 180 alone, so this looks like a good deal.

Pony package comes with 17x8" wheels (not 18"), plus the rear sway bar and larger front. Nothing from a HP standpoint.

If you read all these threads, it seems like the best HP mods (bang for buck) proceeds as follows...

1) Nitrous (100+ HP for around $700)
2) SCT Xcal2 (more HP, no throttle lag, better auto shifts, etc) - $400
3) CAI - $200-$300
4) Cat-back dual exhaust w/ X-pipe & high flow mufflers - $600-$800 installed

You may be able to get #2,3,4 for a little over 1G, probably good for 30+ N/A HP.

V6 plus a grand?

no

 

[05STANGnick]

how much money is it to refill nitrous?

also
The exaust Im going to do with my friend i decide to bend and weld the pipes with him to save money.

 

[fazm83]

what size nitrous bottle? Anywhere from $30 to $150 depending on what size bottle ya got.

Nitrous i have found for $540.
Tuner for $350-$380
Gt axle back $50 with shipping?
that keeps ya around $950, that way you can go to a dyno for half an hour to check your A/F ratio to make sure its safe after the ZEX install.
