Tell him to run 15 PSI, then get a lawnchair and a beer for the show. Make sure you bring an umbrella in case it starts raining pistons

they have the same strength block and same pistons/rods...so i dont think they can handle any more than a gt. My buddy's sixer blew up after a couple months of spraying 100 shot.

Actually the 3.8 v6 motor in the Mustangs can handle more power than the 2v's can.

if you think your just gonna take a V6, add a set of TTs and make 370HP your crazy. check out my "chance to buy a car" thread in the V6 part of this forum..
Its hard to make even 300 WHP on a stock V6 engine (heads/cams etc). A GT will get there easier and cheaper every time with less money invested.
Hell, 380 WHP? Forget twin turbos, all you need is a 10 PSI SQ kit and a few boltons.
If anyone is arguing that they shouldn't make V6 mustangs... they are stupid. The V6/GT/Mach1(etc)/cobra setup (with ramping up performance) is what has kept the mustang alive and killed the camaro.
nless you want to pay vette price for a mustang, you better prase the V6. I surely would not choose it as my first option for performance, but its still a mustang, and right from the beginning it kept em alive.

If you have a v6 with 190hp to the crank and add a turbo at 10psi to get 370-380hp on stock internals and then take a GT with 260hp to the crank and add a turbo at 10psi to get 400+hp on stock internals, I'm pretty sure the GT wont last as long. And the v6 gained almost 100% more power than stock compared to the GT's 50% more power than stock.

i dont know why he wont take my word for it and drop a cobra motor in it that way he is paying for a v6 and is driving a corba almost. I would never put money inot a v6 the sound like **** and its just as bad as a rice buner.

cause if he put a cobra motor in there he would have to pay insurance on the V8, otherwise if he wrecked his car and didn't tell his insurance they would not have to cover him...and seriously you think a V6 is as bad as a rice burner get a life. it's a mustang that a lot more people can afford. i wanted a new mustang and i wanted one I could afford insurance and payment, so i got the V6, it's not as fast as the V8, it doesn't sounds as good, but it is still a mustang. you know a lot of camaro/firebird guys could say why get a mustang we make 60 more hp stock and our engine responds well to mods, geez why waste the money on a little old 4.6 L. to me it makes no sense to trash a car that is the same model as yours with a smaller engine...just my opinion.
