Hey fellow 'stang drivers,

I am thinking of modding my 2000 v-6 stang, and I was wondering what are some modifications I can do to it to improve horsepower and/or possibly torque that wont cost me an arm and a leg, keep my car somewhat modest on gas consumption as well as a strong, street reliable motor (as it will be a daily driver)

-Cheers

 

Hello Kwazi. I'd say put a nice dual exhaust on and a cold air intake, some lower rear gears and a chip or programmer. It will sound good and put some pep in it's step.

 

yeah if you're not willing to go all out, booze has got it pinned down..those mods will surely make a diff and add more zip to you're drive

good luck

 

Automatic or Manual?

 

yeah booze always has it nailed, um k&n air filter with your cold air intake,if you can get away with spending a little more mabey a throttle body or throttle body spacer, um airplane wings, jet engine possibly? lol j/k bunch of things you can do, but just so you know its an addiction once you start you cant stop. oh yeah mabey some over drive pulleys free up some horsies,geddy up!

 

That would be underdrive pulley ^^^ LOL. Atlantic blue has a 42% red pulley if I remember right. That's awesome!

 

tis be a manual lol and yeah i have a feeling once i start, im gunna not stop lol but like i said, i dun wanna over do it, i still need to be able to afford gas and have a daily drivable, reliable machine that wont tear itself apart

 

Modding is definitely addictive. I have a list of mods I want to do, but unfortunately I don't have the money. It's really expensive, well, for me since I am in school too.

But, there are a lot of options for you for a good price and to add some good pep.

 

yes a 42% smaller u/d pulley is awesome for sure. motoblue makes a great billet one that comes with a new harmonic balancer for about 130 bucks form www.rpmoutlet.com , also, get rid of the 2 biggest cats and fabricate an H pipe to your favorite cat back. a CAI with a k&n filter doesnt hurt and if you have some more money- GEARS! im all over a set of 4.10s and auburn posi or a 8.8" ford rear with 4.10s (which ever is cheaper) in the coming months

 

Since you have a manual you can do a gear change (to 4.10s of course) and not require a flash tuner to correct the speedometer. A SpeedCal will do the job for less $$.
