RE: How to gain fast horsepower w/o major changes
Sure, superchargers and turbos will give you a huge boost in power, but those mods are very costly. The average supercharger kit is between $3,000 to $4,000 with some even topping out much higher yet. Usually power increases and economy do not go hand in hand. Freeing up your air flow will make your engine breathe easier which usually equates to a few more miles to the gallon over the road. You can accomplish this with improved intake (CAI, TB & plenum) and a freer flowing exhaust. Exhausts can go the catback root, with or without "H" or "X" pipes, as well as shorty or long tube headers. For the quickest sensation of speed increase (acceleration), without doing anything else to you car whatsoever, GEARS are the way to go. If you are sensitive to mileage, I would say to go with the Ford Racing 3.73's. 4.10's are also an option. Basic rule of thumb is 3.73 with a standard tranny and 4.10 with an auto tranny. You will l-o-v-e them. Keeps your cars existing power curve always in the sweet spot for instant acceleration. Start there, you won't be disappointed!
