Well, I'm thinking of removing my A/C unit altogether. I don't even use it that much, so why not. Should free up some HP, but how much?

 

extremely minimal becacuse it acts like an idler pulley when the clutch isnt engaged. So if you arent running the ac you are lookin at maybe 1 or 2 hp from removing it. Just make that up somewhere else by removed 10 lbs lol.

 

Damn, oh well. I was also thinking in the future of swapping out the engine with an 03 cobra. Supprise the hell out of people when they think it's a six

 

hope ya can fine one cheap, 11k for one of those bad boys. I can promise you can do a lot to your 6 for that much lol

 

Yeah, but I want to get an 8. Don't get me wrong, I love the six. But there is more potential.

 

Hi,
Screming has installed an oversize AC pulley, and got 3-5 RWHP with it ( see section "Every Little bit" on his site http://www.tammyandjohn.com/Mustang/...ng/Mustang.htm . I wonder if doing so needs a new belt, if not why?

So, coming back to your statement, gaining only 1 to 2, this must be able to yield much more if just a larger pulley gives 3-5. You must get double that?

the main point of A/C removal is weight

 

why didn't you just buy the eight to begin with you are blowing a lot of money that you could or can spend on mods.. If yoru looking to shock people get Dodge neon and put an 8 in it ....shock the hell out of people...lol

 

well for insurance purposes.. there is a pretty big discrepancy in how much he would have to spend if he had gotten the V8...... an engine swap though will probably put him around what he would've paid for the GT, except that he has the v6 insurance... who knows.. to each his own....

 

My insurance for my 6 was thirteen dollars less a month then an 8....I went with a six because of gas prices .... I don't see how insurance could be that big of a deal I am 22 so I get no breaks on the insurance. unless you have several tickets or wrecks, which means you definatley need to stay with a 6 for your own well being... but then again I live in oklahoma so I only have to worry about people pulling their horses and carriages in front of me.
