I bought an '06 V6 Convertible a couple of years ago and should have really bought a V8 (for the power). I like the car a lot but could use more HP. At the time I bought the car, the price of gas was a key factor in choosing the V6.
I am using an SCT Tuner with a custom tune which has increased the HP. Next week, I'm getting dual exhaust from a GT with a take-off GT rear bumper. I know that I need cold air intake but the SCT authorized dealer said it'll cost me the price of the Cold Air Intake plus another $250 for the custom tune that has to go along with it. If I were made of money, that would not be a problem or... I'd buy the 2011 V6 with the 3.7 and 305 Horses. (By the way, I test drove one last weekend and loved it!) Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the HP's on my V6? I want to keep it and don't have the dough for a turbo upgrade. Any suggestions on the SCT tune? I'd think that I could manually tweak my already custom tune for the new intake, but I'm a newbie on my need for speed as well as a newbie on Mustangs and the SCT tuners. This looked like a good forum and I am a brand new member so if I'm in the wrong category, my apologies. Thanks!
