Default Horsepower Increase

I am looking into doing some mods for my 07 V6 Mustang and I wanted to get some feedback on what things I can do/buy to give me a noticable increase in horsepower becides getting it tuned. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if possible any web links to the items mentioned would be great as well.

or u could just not help the guy.....lol


intake and tune is gonna give u the most noticable increase, expect about 20rwhp from that

exhaust will free up about 10 hp, plus it just sounds faster lol

t-lok and gears will change the feel of the car and increase acceleration wihtout adding more power, more of just getting it to the ground

then theres always --->[sm=nxsmile.gif][sm=gears.gif]

How much do you have to spend and what are you willing to do?

1) Exhaust upgrade
2) Intake and tuner
3) Gears and some kind of limited slip (done at the same time it will save you on labor)
4) Nos as someone has already eluded too
5) Pulleys might be an option as well.

And if you want to spend some big money then there are always the

1) Supercharger/turbochargers
2) Port and polished heads
3) Cams

If you do the heads and cams at the same time then you will probably save on labor as well. They are expensive and yield less gains than a supercharger/ turbocharger. But if you want to stay N/A then they are an option. They also probably required supporting mods that someone with more knowledge than me can answer.

It all depends on how much you want to spend and how far you are willing to go. There might be more that I am missing. But this should give you a starting point.

You need a tlock differential. I think V6 Mustang stuff sells them for a couple hundred bucks.
Then you need to hire someone to install it or do it yourself.
Good Luck!
