Wow... How old are you? Did you just get a Mustang, thinking it was fast?

Well, all the mods you listed do absolutely nothing for performance except the CAI, which will net you about 1-2 HP. Boring out the engine won't really increase the displacement. Stroking would be a better idea, but either way it's really expensive, not including the work. And the fact that you had to ask what boring out was tells me you wouldn't be able to do the work yourself. In all honesty, though, your car is going to be slow unless you go the F/I route, or spray.

Also, the one wheel peel is because the 7.5 rear end in the V6 has an open differential. You need some sort of t-lok to make both wheels spin.

+1


on the serious note i agree with afore mentioned path of F/I other than that little things lit UD pully and exhaust and some matinence things like running a full synth system like royal purple a tuner and maybe ?4.10 gears im thinking right? such are all decently small performance upgrades that may get you above a sentra SER but not a v-spec hah yea

wooo, conformity! Dont help him rag on him! Great Idea...

First ya gotta start with your basics. Get dual exhaust. if your gonna mess with the throttle body you might as well get a bigger one. get a shift kit if its an auto, get a tuner and get some gears. To spin both tires you need posi trac or TLok.If you want to WIN races at the drag strip then i suggest you do what i just said and then go forced induction. V6s response to modifications isnt super great. It will take alot of time and money.

that's a funny beginning
even boring the engine = not a big deal
with F/I = serious gains = than you can win races
