Default so this is my idea?

ok,this is what i wanna do to my car,i would like opinions and feed back please :]

once i get things going on my car i wanna get the whole car black, no crome no logos no nothing, even take out the little mustang in the grill, black tint and all, and eventually black rims,

and basically turn the car into a sleeper, but its only a v6 :/

is there any cheap way goin about this? anything i can do thats cheap/free to get some more umph and power into my car?

(as of now entire car is stock,but i have no spare cash everything i got is goin into a ticket :/ and jobless cause of school)

use the search button this exact question has been covered many times.

for you question no there is no "cheap" method of getting power the stickies have a thread laying out a basic path for car modding but if you want a single kit to do it, get a procharger and run 8-10psi that will put you in the 300hp area.

Or get the M112 Supercharger kit from lilroush. Little less costly going that route, but you'll still get great power (on stock engine internals). As for the blackout sleeper concept, there are many delete kits for the emblems and such. Check American Muscle for that stuff, and many other power adders.

he said sleeper look though a massive m112 through the hood or a 3' cowl hood would be quite a give away.

...Cobra R? Yea, I suppose that defeats the whole look. Oh well, the Procharger will just have to do (or a turbo, if the exhaust didn't give it away).

Unless your car is already black, be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for a paint job. Basically here's what you're looking at:

Black Powder Coated Pony - $120
Black Powder Coated Side Badges - $40 (if memory serves me right)
Headlight/Taillight Tint - $40
Black Rims - $1000 with tires give or take $150

Now as far as performance goes, that's all up to you. If you really have extra cash, skip over the roots style M-112 and go for a far superior twin screw Kenne Bell or Whipple supercharger. You can safely run 8-10 psi on a stock bottom end. Aside from that you're looking at an expensive engine build by going through sites like super six motor sports. Personally I like S/C motors over N/A for daily drivers or cars that see more road time than others, N/A cars are just horrible drivers, where as S/C cars maintain stock driveability.

Oh, the M-112 set up will put you back approx $2500-3000, the KB, or Whipple will set you back approx $5000. An engine build (with you doing all the labor) will set you back approx $2000-3000 depending on how in depth you go. The engine build would put you in the mid 200 rwhp range. M-112 will put out 8 psi on a stock pulley and generally adds about 10 rwhp per psi. The KB, and Whipple designs will put out 5-15 psi depending on what you order, and will put out 12-14 rwhp per psi.
