    Mods to beat Nissan 350z stock?

    x2. Or trade in on a Mustang GT. Unless you have thousands to flush on a supercharger this is your best route given the mods you already have. I think the only other thing you are missing is maybe pullies, which only net another 5-10hp. Heck, if you are right side up on your trade in, the...

    Suspension questions

    If you are just going to the factory 17" GT wheels from the standard 16" V6 wheels, you don't need to upgrade anything else...susp, brakes, whatnot. That's actually a component of the pony package, but you can just do wheels alone, may need to get the speedo recal'ed. If you stay with a...

    At least it wasn't my 68.........

    Sounds like you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Glad you're ok though. And glad it wasn't the classic. As hard as it is to say about any car, that one can be more easily replaced than the 68. Clean car though...

    2011 V6 Engine

    Maybe I missed something....but 18% of 300 is 54.....so rwhp is closer to 246. I really don't know if a cai/tune/exhaust is going to net over 50rwhp.....here's hoping, but probably not. On top of that, a 2006 Mustang v6 with 210hp will not react the same as a 98 GT with 225hp mod for mod...

    2011 V6 Engine

    I think 300rwhp is might be a stretch with just those mods listed above....but if I remember correctly the LTx/LSx engines always responded better to N/A mods than mustangs. I think 275rwhp is more correct for cai/tune if they react like 05+ GT's. At least, exhaust isn't going to do very much...

    2011 V6 Engine

    Though I am a few weeks late, you beat me to it. This motor isn't maxed out. It's just utilizing cam technology, among other things, unlike the past v6's. I'm ready to see some bolt on 300rwhp v6's now...

    gearing with supercharger

    What kind of supercharger are you getting? Centri? What kind of daily driving do you do? 3-5 miles of city? Or 25+ miles on the highway? It all comes down to your preference. If you can live with higher rpm on the highway and a little less fuel economy, then I'd go with either 3.73 or...

    Check your other thread, this looks like a double post.

    2011 V6 Engine

    I think in 10 years, we are going to look at 2011 the same way we looked at 1996 for the V8's, with the introduction of the modular engine. This vamp up is no doubt in response to the other manufacturers spitting out 300hp v6's as well. Nissan has been doing it for a while now. And with one of...

    I have a few 2010 V6 questions

    Buying a CAI and a tune at the same time from the same company is the best way to do it. Don't limit yourself to chips, because the best tune is usually in the tuner. Brenspeed, bamachips, steeda, etc....can't go wrong with any of them. C&L, JLT, Steeda CAI's, they're all good stuff. C&L makes...

    Body Damage Need Advice

    Easy maybe. But definitely not cheap. Just a dented hood and new pony grill was going to set me back just over 3 grand according to the dealership (estimate done by them). Just a hood was $1300 without paint last I checked. I don't know if the rear quarters are aluminum like the hood, but I'd...

    Body Damage Need Advice

    My old 98 v6 was totalled out for less damage than that. I was hit on the driver's side, right rear side. I didn't want to be the one to say it, but it wouldn't shock me if they totalled it out. How many miles on the car?

    Body Damage Need Advice

    BOOM!!!! Best advice yet. Double, and triple check that they use only FORD OEM parts...demand they do. I made the mistake of not making sure when I was rear ended. Now, I have a crappy ass rear bumper that doesn't even line up. The body shop guys that handed the car back were even embarrassed...

    '67 Mustang garaged for 10 years, simple fixes to see if it starts?

    Mine sat in a barn for 10 years, and I did the same thing. Fluids and filters changed, new battery, air for tires, and a retune to the carb and it ran just fine.

    M&R Engines on Ebaymotors

    More so than I could have been. I got frustrated with your story and would've given up after about the 5th or 6th bullett. He might as well just **** on the motor while he's at it. This is horrible. :mad:

    Shelby was hit.. Need some advice regarding insurance.. Pics inside!!

    Almost the same thing happened when I got rear ended. The driver's comprehensive couldn't cover the multi-car accident. They (allstate) gave me that line too and said I could persue small claims. Just turn it into state-farm, pay your deductible, MAKE SURE TO DEMAND OEM PARTS!!!!!!!! I got...
