Default Mod questions

First, let me say this: I bought my V6 in April of this year. I joined this forum the following week. I have learned so much about this car, and in the interest that's been spawned, cars in general. All of you are great for sharing all of your knowledge and stories, and I hope you all know that it is very appreciated.

Now that I'm done kissing your a$$es (j/k, I was being honest), I have a few questions. I've done the muffler, I've done the intake, and the XCal2 is on it's way. I just got the GT front fascia and I plan on keeping the single exhaust. I've read about the PHP alt pulley, which I will be getting. In terms of performance, what is there left for me to do, other than a power adder? What would gears do? What is T-LOK? What would limited slip diff do for me? Is there anything else that you guys can think of? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Ok gears and the T-lok would be a good thing next if your looking to add performance...Gears will give you a better launch, 3.73 or 4.10 would be your choice but i would say 4.10 is more popular and seems to be recommended for gears which is what ill be getting as well. Ford T-lok makes it so that instead of just getting power to one wheel you will have power to both rear wheels so it helps launching and also 2 tire burnouts Hope this helps

Cool, thanks HurricaneStang. Now, lets say I get T-LOK and 4.10 gears. Would this affect everyday driving too much to warrant getting them?

I asked about that and i was told it doesnt affect daily driving really like you can cruise up to 80mph normally and someone said it might slightly lower gas mileage but little if any. If you would like to improve the acceleration a bit and increase your launching quickness it would warrant getting them.

Where can I find a PHP alternator pulley? I did a search and couldn't find anything...I searched the PHP website and found underdrive pulleys but not alternator pulleys.

you will loose 2 mpg and if anything gain some in the city

t-loks are garbage, they were designed for a 120 HP bronco 2/ranger, go with a detroit true trac
