New to stangs
 

Hey guys new to forum and new to mustangs never owned a car always diesels so for my first car i purchased my 00 mustang gt 4.6 5speed with about 110k miles. So im wanting more power i would like to shoot for an extra 100 hores what would i do to achieve that.

Also what are some things i should look out for.

And final the metal hose that runs from front to back of motor on the top but under the intake manifold what is that and do they leak i am finding a little oil or some kinda residue sitting on the top front of the block between heads

Hey welcome! And easy way to increase hp on a 2v is supercharge. A vortec or procharger will put you into the 350rwhp range, you're at maybe 220rwhp now so that 3-4g's for the super charger is the biggest bang for buck you can do. I'm at a loss at what you're describing though, a coolant tube from the water pump runs in the block valley. Just got off work and my mind is fried, I'll have to read it again tomorrow.

Yea thats the tube im talking about. I have a camera scope that i have ran all threw the valley but i can find no leaks but i have a lil residue in the valley right up front

For a supercharger or pro charger what kinda motor upgrades would i have to do or whats all involved i dont wanna jack anything up

Anybody wanna chime in

need to beef up the bottom end if u want to make more than 350hp

You'll be good on a stock block up to 400 rwhp (on a good tune). You can also piece a vortech together for about 1500 bucks. If you'll looking to make some real power that's the way to go. When I 1st bought my car I had every bolt on under the sun (including cams). With all those parts plus labor I spent close to $3500 and gained about 35 rwhp. The 2vs do not respond to bolt on's worth a sh**. Something that I wish I had known years ago. Do You have gears? If not thats where I would start.

Also check out the mods for begginers sticky. That's a very good write up for new mustang owners.

What set of gears u recommend it is my daily driver and how much it usually cost to have it done

stock bottom ends hold up fine for 420ish rwhp.

If i put a supercharger on it will have to mess with engine internals or just bolt it on and put a tune on it
