what HP/TQ does your V6 put out?
Im impressed, I have owned my 2007 V6 Mustang for 2 years now, it currently has 73,000 miles on it (sickens me to think im wearing it out so fast, thinking about getting a beater to put miles on) I had been thinking about trading it in for a GT, I didnt think I could get the same performance out of the V6. After seeing what some of you guys have done with the V6 (im not looking at building a 700hp monster, just a nice 350hp hotrod) I have decided to keep my car, I have become attached to it and my GF was very upset when I told her I was deciding to trade it. Its actually a nice car, premium package.
Just thought it would be cool to see what some of you guys are putting out with your modded V6s. Seems that 290 RWHP is easily achievable with these engines, I didnt realize they could turn that much.

I'm curious, also. I'd think 290 RWHP would be difficult w/o FI, even with all the bolt-ons. But since I haven't payed attention to the dyno info for the 4.0, bring it on.

You're going to need F/I. It'll be more reliable than a car with H/C/I in the long run, and probably better for being a DD. That said, (I know I have a 3.8, but still) I make around 235-240 rwhp. Dyno pending.

Yes, thats with forced induction. I didnt realize that there were so many different types, options, and setups for the forced induction on these. Looks like I have a long road of research ahead of me, I have found a Procharger, X-charger, Vortech, and im sure there is others. Id like to see what these different products produce on the 4.0, then attempt to ake a decision.
Also id sell my right arm for a cam set that will give me a lope (like the GT Hot Rod cams) I LOVE the old school appearance of these cars, I like this body better than the 2010+ style.

i threw out the dyno sheet a while back. since i had to retune it myself the sheet wasn't accurate any more. i have just about every blot-on they make. i think the only bolt-on that i don't have is a t/b spacer. other than that, you name it, i got it. that's how i would reach those numbers.

To consider a TB spacer to be a bolt-on performance mod is like saying a kick in the nutz is just playful fun. If you think a TB spacer is a performance adder, then I have little faith in your reported #'s.
