Higher temperatures mean more energy and with more energy a substances particles have more movement and they expand. so cooler air is more dense than warmer air and because gasoline ignites at a constant temperature, it will expand the cold air with the same temp as it would the warm air and because more density means less volume per mass, there will be more air to expand at a lower temperature than there will be with a higher temperature. Higher temperatures mean more energy and with more energy a substances particles have more movement and they expand. altitude and humidity also effect air density, but thats a different story...but altogether my statement about an intercooled 6psi is safer than a non-intercooled 6psi and it will also make more power was it not?

RE: N/A POWER
You could have it bored and stroked. Even for blown engines, cracking the engine open to put lower compression forged pistons would be a good idea. For N/A you wopuld want to go with higher compression by changing pistons or having the block decked. But then you will have to run it on higher octane fuel.
Basic hot rodder tricks will work on the engine. The same type of mods that you would do on a 427 SOHC will work on the V6. Cam, compression, hotter spark, big headers, higher flow intake. An engine doesn't know what name is painted on the valve covers.
BTW, putting the car on a diet is like free HP.

RE: N/A POWER
yea i know blackfoot...why did you argue my first point when i just said an intercooled s/c with the same boost will be safer on the engine than non intercooled....its completely true...
oh p.s. trill, dont try to pretend you know more about cars than me....im not trying to say that i know alot about engines....i started this post and if you actually read back, blackfoot started the umm i dont even know its not really an arguement. but all of my previous statements have been correct. I don't know ALOT about mustangs specifically, but to say i dont know anything about engines is just ignorant. i would love to see you tune your own car, or install something harder than an intake for gods sake...can you say boom? besides, i dont know why you would even randomly insult me when i started a post to help out other people and myself in getting information on any new good n/a parts and ideas. You are one of the kids that belong in the import vs domestic fights.

RE: N/A POWER
haha my intial posts have been to just to add on to what 8cd said, to elaborate incase some people may have not clued in..
i give 8cd lots of credit for being 17, or 16 i cant remember knowing this much is impressive... being as how im 18 for the next 2 months, we arent too different.. we must have read the same books only i now have a piece of fancy paper from a college as a bragging right..
8cd if you go to school for automotive youll fly through it, but theres gonna be a lot that you thought you knew, and it was just either added on or completly different.. ie automatice trannies.. when i took that class i was like holycow :O

this is gonna sound dumb but why will a manual make more whp, is it lighter, more efficient, i know its faster cause of heel-toe, shift times, good driver. but why more on a dyno.
