Bad ass car. A lot of work put into it. I love it. Ever consider using my mufflers on there, sound like a beast. Also found a set of "Coffin" mufflers that would be great for your car. Sounds fantastic as it is, love it!!
question... where did you get the cam for the car? and will it fit on the 1997 3.8L? i cant find a cam for my mustang anywhere... im also lookin for rockers rollers and lifter rollers.... if you can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciatled.
@oopie25704 I got my cam from Delk, but I'd recommend you look at Super Six Motorsports for a cam and roller rockers. They will have anything you need for your 3.8.
@mongoose007 I kind of put the thing together peicemeal. The head flow sheet is posted somewhere, I'm sure, and the cam specs are posted at the beginning of the video if you want to figure out what SSM kit it's closest to. The car made 220whp after a dynotune at VMP in FL.
Being unsure of how many times this has been asked I figured I might as well go ahead and ask,do you have a link to the cam and springs you bought? I noticed the brand but I mean the actual site if you don't mind posting it.
Also have it be known that these cars can make decent power, provided you know what you're doing. I've seen a few people do well with them, but I would never do it. Like mentioned beforehand, cubic inches are power. I choose to go bigger, because it's easier and more cost effective in the long run.. but some people mod these motors because they want to see just how much they can do - and I think there's a lot of good that can come out of that (and more power to them). At least they're LEARNING.
how come i see more 99 to 2004 mustang gt traded in at a dealership than i see mustang v6 traded in at a dealership answer me that buddy. I have owned my mustang for 2 years now. in those 2 years i have seen more gt mustangs traded in at dealerships than I have seen v6 traded in at dealerships. Tell me smart ass. V6 can move right a long and will probly out last a v8 any day and also out last the car. They get better gas millage and the insurance is cheaper. So leave the v6 a lone i have a v6.
@dartman945 LOL, I've had more V6's and V8 cars than I can count on two hands and I can personally tell you that 3.8 enjoys eating headgaskets so your statement about it lasting longer is FALSE. The only reason you see the old GT's traded in is because they're getting a newer GT/Cobra with better performance. People who buy econo-mustangs didn't buy it for performance.. oh, and FWIW: that 3.8 isn't a Godsend on gas. They actually get about the same as a 4.6 does, so don't hold your breath.
question, take a look at my mustang exhaust video, i had to put the cats back on now but now i seem to get a fludder i think that it may be due to the h-pipe...
@Blainestang I think that sound is the CAI. I have a V6 'Stang WITHOUT a CAI, and my buddy has one with a CAI. They both have a somewhat high pitch sound, but his is much more noticeable... So it's probably just the sound of the air rushing through the intake pipe.
Most CAIs have less bends in them, so the air reaches a higher velocity, attributing to the high pitched rushing noise. Most people like it :P
@HondaRiderCR250 you work with what you've got. if you can afford a GT and all the costs of running one, that's what you do. if not, then there's nothing wrong with putting some extra money and love into your car. for the 10k difference in price between the 2 cars from the factory you can put some serious extra power into the V6. By your logic we should all be driving GT500s.
@HondaRiderCR250 what a wetaded comment. why would he get a v8 when he could get a v10. why get a v10 when you can have a v12....... DUMB ASS- IT NEVER ENDS, STUPID ASS QUESTIONS.
@robb15033 why not a v10 ...or a v12.. cause ford does put either in a mustang ! You can buy a real mustang with the correct engine for slightly more than the v shits. If you can't afford insurance get minimum coverage and learn how to drive without wreckin’ yo shit
@5959512 Because insurance is all about not wrecking your own car. I live in an area with so many incompetent drivers who can't even merge with a 556 hp mercedez slamming on the brakes. Gas is a big difference my little 3.8 will get 24 with my foot in it. I drove my sisters bulitt two little down shifts and I watched the mileage go down. Mommy and daddy don't buy everything for everyone. Also some people live in cali and pay a shitload more in gas and everything I just priced gears installs...
@HondaRiderCR250 lmao what money? he spent 300 on a cam and prob under 250 for the take off exhaust and 150 for intake. obviously i'm estimating but its no where near the money he'd have to spend to get a v8 mustang and pump fuel in it too
@shogun506 not really...with all the money you put into your v6 you could definately afford a v8 with some mods...im just saying the v6 mustang wasnt meant to go fast. its just a car.
thats fkn sick dude i just had my cutouts done & put cherrybomb vortex mufflers on ny 95 srs 3.8 my 3rd stang but first 6 banger its my little project never had a 6 cylinder run 12's when ure in the car it sounds pretty sick alotta people r like dude this has to be a 5.0 it really does sounds like a v8 its fkn deep id like to know where ya got that cam though i got the underdrive pulley stuff, tuner, intake & a '98 gt rearend though
Nice work. Trying to build my wife's '96 V6. People make me laugh when they dog on 6 cylinders. Some of the most stout cars in history have been V6 or I6. 3 series BMW's, Supras, Porsches, Skylines, Nissan Z's, are the first to come to mind but I know there are more. Even the first mustangs base model since conception had 6 cylinders...
@svbummin ...So, you may think posting "gay" on every V6 video and forum to stroke your fragile ego is a good use of your time, but you're wasting your time if you think your ignorant babble is going to change any of my plans. BTW, you'll be happy to know I'm building a 4-cyl Mustang at the moment.
@svbummin If you were capable of reading comprehension and not just typing cliches that might be clever if we were in middle school, you would know that my "turd" polished up exactly how I planned. It makes GT peak power and has Mach suspension/brakes so it's a good driver for minimal investment since I did all the work myself...
well maybe if you get ripped on enough you'll realize you just cant polish a turd. go buy a fuckin civic or something--all that raw power might be to much for ya
@svbummin "Chick car"...Wow, that hurts... I've never heard that before! And gaining 60hp isn't worth my time, but searching through Youtube for videos to call "gay" *is* a worthy use of your time?
@MrSilentKillar well considering i drive a built 03 mach 1 that pulled 11.96 last year. i really doubt your little 99 v6 gaystang could keep up, and yes you bolth drive chick cars that arent worth the steel there make out of. i dont know a single person that wouldnt laugh there ass off when pulled up next to cars like this
@svbummin 11.96? There are ~20 V6 Mustangs faster than that. By your logic, that means Mach 1's are "gay". Also, a 2011 GT can do that with a few bolt-ons, so by your logic, you're "polishing a turd." Something tells me you wouldn't agree with those conclusions, which means your "logic" is flawed, at best, and probably much closer to utterly ignorant. We get it, you don't like V6 Mustangs. Go spend your time staying ahead of bolt-on '11 GT's and stop trying to prop up your fragile ego.
@svbummin this is not your video, and nobody here gives a shit what you drive. Based on your "E-bullying" and defensive ego regarding your car, we won't blame you for what God didn't give you son.
@svbummin By your logic, you drive a chick car too, since a Mach 1 is still a Mustang. Jeez, Camaro guys stick together no matter what engine size, but you dicks like making fun of the V6 crowd I guess to make your e dick feel bigger or something. Wow your a sad soul little man, very sad indeed.
The specs for the cam are at the beginning and end of the video. I don't have anything done to the rear end at the moment. I've had 3.73's in the garage for years, but haven't gotten around to installing them. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Since it's a billet cam, you didn't need to upgrade anything else in the engine except for valve springs, correct?
How was your fuel economy affected? My Mustang is pretty much a daily driver... Also, do you know if camming the car will affect the lifetime of the motor?
The "turbo" noise is just the exhaust or something. Not exactly sure.
As far as what was done to it... Ported heads, upgraded valve springs, custom cam, CAI, Cobra take-off exhaust, dynotune from Justin @ VMP. It made 220whp.
Just FYI, 3.8L V6 Mustangs only have 1 cam. That said, I got mine from Delk Performance. I had a good experience at the time, but I would currently recommend Super Six Motorsports for 3.8L engine parts.
Blainestang: Fuck all the haters here. I love my V8,but have respect for any car whether it's a 4 cylinder 6, or whatever.If people are saying it's a waste of money,then they shouldn't worry about it cuz it's not theirs! Most of them bragg about cars they don't even have,or they're just trying to look popular with a comment.Simple and plain,if you don't like the Mustang here,then don't fuckin' watch,and don't comment.
The V6's aren't always that much better mileage-wise as their V8 brethren in the first place, but I average 24-25mpg mixed and have averaged 30mpg over a mostly highway road trip, so it does better mileage-wise than MOST V8s. I attribute a lot of the good mileage to a great dynotune. A poorly tuned car is going to make less power and do it rather inefficiently, as well.
The details of the cam are in the video. As noted, I got mine from Delk Performance who specs the cam and has it custom made by Comp Cams. Super Six Motorsports is the most highly-recommended V6 engine parts vendor, IMO, and they do the same. If you're looking for a cam, I'd contact them. As far as the exhuast goes, as mentioned in the video, it is the stock exhaust from a '94 Cobra. The V6 exhaust was cut off behind the cats, and the '94 Cobra exhaust was welded on.
... as far as costs go, the cam was ~$300, and the exhaust was Free from a friend. There are other costs involved with a cam swap such as gaskets, labor, tune, etc... which are all somewhat variable depending on who does the work and such.
Thanks... and yeah, I had it dynotuned by Justin @ VMP. Some people have had different expriences, but my car didn't run very well after the cam before the tune. With the tune, though, it runs well. Also, you need a good tune to get all the power out of the upgrades. IMO, a tune is a must. It improves the way it runs, maximizes power, and by making it run better and more efficiently, it gets better mileage (than if it wasn't tuned). Even making ~60whp more than stock, I can still get 30mpg hwy.
I guess my main question here...why? Why would you spend all that money on something that doesn't sound good, or go as fast if you spent that money on a V8?
To each their own...I understand that, if someone wants to do something, I say rock n roll. But I find something like this to be such a waste :(
I've explained this several times. First, I didn't spend THAT much money. The heads/cam parts were a grand total of $1500 or so. That's not going to go all that far toward buying AND modding a similar-year SOHC/DOHC GT/Cobra as far as heads/cams go. Second, I did all the work myself, so it was a learning experience. Third, I am planning to keep this car as it was my first car, so I wanted to make it significantly quicker than stock.
I read through the entire dialog from start to finish...I have to say there are some completely ignorant people that MIGHT own the cars they defend... never mind the fact that there are some VERY fast V6 mustangs out there right now. YES YES V8 guys I KNOW...mod for mod you're faster...big deal...was I supposed to be in the same league as you? NO...can I still build this S197 V6 to 447 RWHP reliably...definitely, WILL I? HELL YES...for the reason that it IS DIFFERENT and out of the box.
thats true. the v6 i was talkin about are 1999-2005 and most were NA but one had i/h/e and it didnt make much difference in the race. o and i race 05-08 gt v8s and that is a drivers race
My car makes ~30whp more than a 5-speed 99-04 V6 with I/H/E. That being said, if your car is a driver's race with '05-'08 GTs (mid-high 13's), then bolt-on 99-04 V6's should be 10+ cars behind you at the end of the 1/4-mile. 3 car ahead of a bolt-on V6 at the end of a 1/4-mile is roughly .3 seconds... which based on lightly modded 99-04 V6 Mustang times, puts you in the high 14 to low 15 second range... fairly typical for a stock Si. The '05+ GT's, however, run high 13's with OK driving.
And with all that being said.... Still far more impressive too see a v6 smoking a v8.... or any other import......
Complete bone stock v6 with i think 100-150 shot nitrous slicks 12'secs down the drag.... complete stock engine- trans - clutch stated in video ect... go look it up..
now just too think with a built engine - trans - suspension - great things too come for the v6 plus still lighter and better gas miles..
then maybe i should tell the people i race to drive better??? i dont think so. i do a 14.5 1/4. and just so you dont ask anymore ignorant questions each car had a spotter
i would give your car 3 car lengths mehind me from a dig. u do have some mods but dont be puttin your car on the same pedestal as a v8 mustang cuz its not even close. o and by the way from '99-'04 v8 mustangs ( stock ) can't beat me.
I didn't say my car was equal to 99-04 GT's... just that the average stock Si wouldn't beat it "badly"... though the argument could be made that it's comparable to *some* 99-04 GT's. If you think it's "not even close", then you clearly don't know either (a) what 99-04 GTs make for power, or (b) what my car makes for power. Also, like I said, you must have significant mods AND good driving to claim that 99-04 GT's *can't* beat you. BTW, I'm assuming you're only talking about GTs, not Mach/Cobra.
Also, 3 car lengths from a dig against me in the 1/4-mile? I'm not saying that *wouldn't* be the result, but I'm interested in how you came to that conclusion.
many races...its a passion/addiction i have. there is a street where i live thats just a couple hundred feet longer then a 1/4 mile. i have raced v6 mustangs and v8s. usually everytime i raced the v6 i would end up pullin on 'em in 2nd gear thus winning by three lengths. ( v8 is a driver's race). so how did i get that conclusion? EXPERIENCE
1. "V8 Mustang" and "V6 Mustang" are pretty vague. What years/bodystyle are you talking about for each?
2. There are just a handful of N/A 3.8L V6 Mustangs that make more power than mine. If the V6 Mustangs you're racing are N/A, the chances are pretty good that mine is notably more powerful.
haha generalizations. ya fuckin right. its just sad that you have 2 more cylinders then i do and u would lose....badly. get over it and by a v8 so you can have twice the amount of cylinders i do....and still lose. ponycar is just another way of saying Bitchcar
Wow... pretty cocky considering that virtually every V8 Mustang made since 1999 is capable of faster 1/4-mile times than a stock 8th Gen Si. So, in order to be so confident about your Si beating any recent V8, you better have some notable mods. The same goes for beating my car "badly". I'm not saying it's fast, but it will run with most stockish Si's. So, unless you're capable of an intelligent, fact-based discussion on the topic, don't bother clogging up my wall with ignorant fanboy babble.
lol always have the haters with 6's man that shit sounds sick im working on a 95 with a 4.2 stroker v6 an cam from delk also and putting a m90 on top and for the price of a v8 for the vhaters thast 420 ft torque and 300 hp for a 1grand of mods
Well, a stroker kit is around 1800, cams are around 400, plus price of installation, probably around 2500 to 3500, a M90 supercharger is atleast 500. And then a dyno tune for about 500. So good try with 1000 in mods. You are looking atleast 5900 for the parts and labor of this.
First, you don't have to buy a "stroker kit" to make a 3.8 into a 4.2. The V6 F150 IS a 4.2, so the parts are easy to come by. Second, pushrod cars only have 1 cam... and they don't cost $400. Third, cam installation may cost $2500-$3500 for a 4V, but not on a Pushrod 3.8... more like $500-$1000. I did Heads/Cam myself after doing nothing more complicated than CAI. Fourth, you'd have to be an idiot to pay $500 for an M90. Heck, you'd have to be an idiot to pay $500 for an M112 from an '03 Cobra.
could you guys help me out with some stuff? im wanting to build up my 97 v6 5 speed. im already going to be getting gt read end to hold my wider rims im getting. but performance wise im having trouble finding stuff for v6s could i get some help?
i suggest finding a mustang forums site and joining and asking the guys there who own sixers themselves and definitely know what theyre doing theres alot of them around.. many are just for v6 owners .. some are for all mustang owners check them out see which has the best feel for u and join up u could probably learn alot
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
v6 mustangs might be the stupidest things ive seen under the sun. v6 mustangs ARENT fast and should not be even be modded to attempt being fast. i would rather burn money than mod a v6 mustang. my friends focus and cavalier and even pontiac sunfire eat v6 mustangs . Find a better hobby
Well, you're welcome to your opinion, even if it's ignorant and illogical. You've posted several Grand Prix videos, which have an essentially very similar engine, but are heavier and FWD. Obviously, that's a far superior platform! (Sarcasm, in case you missed it). You're obviously not very knowledgeable on intelligently modded V6 Mustangs, either.
im not gonna lie i have a 1998 cobra/gt and a 2000 V6 mustang...(its my DD) i would love to have some kinda a setup like this on my sixxer (mabe a little quiter) but still neat
bc some of us are full time students with part time jobs so a $16,000 GT isnt exactly in our price range wish it was but its not so we take what we can get and if u put dual exhaust a on a 6 no one is smart enought to tell its a 6 when ur drivin around
If you really dont have money, why would you bother spending parts on a V6? Id just get like a foxbody, or save my money until I could get a V8. OR get a V6 and keep it stock, and save your money for a nice Ford 351 or 408.
mustang 5.0 not much hp to brag about there especially as the years go by. 351 windsor is just big with poor gas mileage. v6 mustangs only have about 50 hp less than gts so not really worth it.
Yea but a couple grand in mods wakes those engines up. Besides some poeple do not want the speed, some just want the sound, and you can't get that sound with a V6.
not bad man little ricey soundin though when u rev it but other than that sounds good...i got an '04 V6 with BBK long tube headers an o/r H pipe and flowmaster 30's catback system and its pretty sick to its louder than every GT i drive by and it pisses them off and i laugh!and to all the people who hate V6 Mustangs fuck you bc u have no idea what we can do!when mine was all stock i was still kickin GT's asses with no hesitation!of course thats also what they get for buying an automatic V8 lameo!
well, okay then. I guess it sounds better in real life anyway. I've never done that to a car before though, so you probably know what you're talking about. There must be a challenge to seeing how much HP you can pull out of a v6? nice car though, I drive a black pony too.
Ther are V6 Mustangs in the 9's, 10's, 11's, 12's, etc... so that's an overgeneralization, but that being said, you're welcome to your opinion. Personally, I'm happy with the car being a little quicker for a DD, since that's what the goal was in the first place, like I've said before.
why wouldn't you? it's rear wheel drive, there's a huge aftermarket backing, and it puts a smile on my face when I see the frustration of GT owners when I blow by :)
it has a badass idle sound. i like it. i have a v6 too, and yeah its not a v8 but that doesnt mean it doesnt have power. i spanked a fox body 5.0 because he built it wrong and had it tuned bad. its all about how you put it together and if you do it right with the right parts.
that mustang sound really good man...it all about personal prefrence..maybe you like to be unique..those cams sound more like 210 or 222 comp cams..those i believe are the biggest cams you could get for a 3.8...those mustang stock have 190 hp with 215 torque i think...but they do have a slow pick up.. its good that your beeing unique..even if you plan on selling afterwards, it all a learning process... sick mustang bro....
Thanks... Yeah, it was a matter of building up the car that I had since I plan on keeping it, and just making it fun. The cam is a custom cam, spec'ed by Delk Performance and manufactured by Comp Cams. Thanks again.
What cam is that?

@shogun506 I'm not totally sure. I do have an intake (BBK Fenderwell CAI), but I'm not positive what is making that sound.
Blainestang 1 year ago
@Blainestang I think that sound is the CAI. I have a V6 'Stang WITHOUT a CAI, and my buddy has one with a CAI. They both have a somewhat high pitch sound, but his is much more noticeable... So it's probably just the sound of the air rushing through the intake pipe.
Most CAIs have less bends in them, so the air reaches a higher velocity, attributing to the high pitched rushing noise. Most people like it :P

@HondaRiderCR250 you work with what you've got. if you can afford a GT and all the costs of running one, that's what you do. if not, then there's nothing wrong with putting some extra money and love into your car. for the 10k difference in price between the 2 cars from the factory you can put some serious extra power into the V6. By your logic we should all be driving GT500s.

robb15033 11 months ago 3
@robb15033 why not a v10 ...or a v12.. cause ford does put either in a mustang ! You can buy a real mustang with the correct engine for slightly more than the v shits. If you can't afford insurance get minimum coverage and learn how to drive without wreckin’ yo shit
5959512 7 months ago
@5959512 Because insurance is all about not wrecking your own car. I live in an area with so many incompetent drivers who can't even merge with a 556 hp mercedez slamming on the brakes. Gas is a big difference my little 3.8 will get 24 with my foot in it. I drove my sisters bulitt two little down shifts and I watched the mileage go down. Mommy and daddy don't buy everything for everyone. Also some people live in cali and pay a shitload more in gas and everything I just priced gears installs...

svbummin 1 year ago
@svbummin 11.96? There are ~20 V6 Mustangs faster than that. By your logic, that means Mach 1's are "gay". Also, a 2011 GT can do that with a few bolt-ons, so by your logic, you're "polishing a turd." Something tells me you wouldn't agree with those conclusions, which means your "logic" is flawed, at best, and probably much closer to utterly ignorant. We get it, you don't like V6 Mustangs. Go spend your time staying ahead of bolt-on '11 GT's and stop trying to prop up your fragile ego.

The specs for the cam are at the beginning and end of the video. I don't have anything done to the rear end at the moment. I've had 3.73's in the garage for years, but haven't gotten around to installing them. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Blainestang 1 year ago
Since it's a billet cam, you didn't need to upgrade anything else in the engine except for valve springs, correct?
How was your fuel economy affected? My Mustang is pretty much a daily driver... Also, do you know if camming the car will affect the lifetime of the motor?
Thanks for your help! :D

BruceIsSoCool 2 years ago
The V6's aren't always that much better mileage-wise as their V8 brethren in the first place, but I average 24-25mpg mixed and have averaged 30mpg over a mostly highway road trip, so it does better mileage-wise than MOST V8s. I attribute a lot of the good mileage to a great dynotune. A poorly tuned car is going to make less power and do it rather inefficiently, as well.
Blainestang 2 years ago
what cams and exhaust are those where and how much are there
dylanBchill91 2 years ago
The details of the cam are in the video. As noted, I got mine from Delk Performance who specs the cam and has it custom made by Comp Cams. Super Six Motorsports is the most highly-recommended V6 engine parts vendor, IMO, and they do the same. If you're looking for a cam, I'd contact them. As far as the exhuast goes, as mentioned in the video, it is the stock exhaust from a '94 Cobra. The V6 exhaust was cut off behind the cats, and the '94 Cobra exhaust was welded on.
Blainestang 2 years ago
... as far as costs go, the cam was ~$300, and the exhaust was Free from a friend. There are other costs involved with a cam swap such as gaskets, labor, tune, etc... which are all somewhat variable depending on who does the work and such.
Blainestang 2 years ago
man that 3.8 sounds great! ! ! keep up the good work! i got a question tho. did u have to do anything with the computer for your new cam to work?
footed16 2 years ago
Thanks... and yeah, I had it dynotuned by Justin @ VMP. Some people have had different expriences, but my car didn't run very well after the cam before the tune. With the tune, though, it runs well. Also, you need a good tune to get all the power out of the upgrades. IMO, a tune is a must. It improves the way it runs, maximizes power, and by making it run better and more efficiently, it gets better mileage (than if it wasn't tuned). Even making ~60whp more than stock, I can still get 30mpg hwy.
Blainestang 2 years ago
I guess my main question here...why? Why would you spend all that money on something that doesn't sound good, or go as fast if you spent that money on a V8?
To each their own...I understand that, if someone wants to do something, I say rock n roll. But I find something like this to be such a waste :(
tamaninja00 2 years ago
I've explained this several times. First, I didn't spend THAT much money. The heads/cam parts were a grand total of $1500 or so. That's not going to go all that far toward buying AND modding a similar-year SOHC/DOHC GT/Cobra as far as heads/cams go. Second, I did all the work myself, so it was a learning experience. Third, I am planning to keep this car as it was my first car, so I wanted to make it significantly quicker than stock.

Blainestang 2 years ago
thats true. the v6 i was talkin about are 1999-2005 and most were NA but one had i/h/e and it didnt make much difference in the race. o and i race 05-08 gt v8s and that is a drivers race
IMO
gcandsp222 2 years ago
My car makes ~30whp more than a 5-speed 99-04 V6 with I/H/E. That being said, if your car is a driver's race with '05-'08 GTs (mid-high 13's), then bolt-on 99-04 V6's should be 10+ cars behind you at the end of the 1/4-mile. 3 car ahead of a bolt-on V6 at the end of a 1/4-mile is roughly .3 seconds... which based on lightly modded 99-04 V6 Mustang times, puts you in the high 14 to low 15 second range... fairly typical for a stock Si. The '05+ GT's, however, run high 13's with OK driving.
Blainestang 2 years ago
And with all that being said.... Still far more impressive too see a v6 smoking a v8.... or any other import......
Complete bone stock v6 with i think 100-150 shot nitrous slicks 12'secs down the drag.... complete stock engine- trans - clutch stated in video ect... go look it up..
now just too think with a built engine - trans - suspension - great things too come for the v6 plus still lighter and better gas miles..
mustangwner2003V6 2 years ago
I think you got that wrong. "My car makes ~30whp more"
Stock V6 'Stangs were roughly 190hp to the CRANK. Actual RWHP was anywhere from 160-170. So you got quite a bit more than just ~30rwhp gain ;)
bdizzle248 1 year ago
I meant that it makes 30whp more than a typical bolt-on V6... but you're right, it's more like 50-60whp above a stock V6.

i would give your car 3 car lengths mehind me from a dig. u do have some mods but dont be puttin your car on the same pedestal as a v8 mustang cuz its not even close. o and by the way from '99-'04 v8 mustangs ( stock ) can't beat me.
gcandsp222 2 years ago
I didn't say my car was equal to 99-04 GT's... just that the average stock Si wouldn't beat it "badly"... though the argument could be made that it's comparable to *some* 99-04 GT's. If you think it's "not even close", then you clearly don't know either (a) what 99-04 GTs make for power, or (b) what my car makes for power. Also, like I said, you must have significant mods AND good driving to claim that 99-04 GT's *can't* beat you. BTW, I'm assuming you're only talking about GTs, not Mach/Cobra.
Blainestang 2 years ago
Also, 3 car lengths from a dig against me in the 1/4-mile? I'm not saying that *wouldn't* be the result, but I'm interested in how you came to that conclusion.
Blainestang 2 years ago
many races...its a passion/addiction i have. there is a street where i live thats just a couple hundred feet longer then a 1/4 mile. i have raced v6 mustangs and v8s. usually everytime i raced the v6 i would end up pullin on 'em in 2nd gear thus winning by three lengths. ( v8 is a driver's race). so how did i get that conclusion? EXPERIENCE
gcandsp222 2 years ago
1. "V8 Mustang" and "V6 Mustang" are pretty vague. What years/bodystyle are you talking about for each?
2. There are just a handful of N/A 3.8L V6 Mustangs that make more power than mine. If the V6 Mustangs you're racing are N/A, the chances are pretty good that mine is notably more powerful.
Blainestang 2 years ago
haha generalizations. ya fuckin right. its just sad that you have 2 more cylinders then i do and u would lose....badly. get over it and by a v8 so you can have twice the amount of cylinders i do....and still lose. ponycar is just another way of saying Bitchcar
gcandsp222 2 years ago
Wow... pretty cocky considering that virtually every V8 Mustang made since 1999 is capable of faster 1/4-mile times than a stock 8th Gen Si. So, in order to be so confident about your Si beating any recent V8, you better have some notable mods. The same goes for beating my car "badly". I'm not saying it's fast, but it will run with most stockish Si's. So, unless you're capable of an intelligent, fact-based discussion on the topic, don't bother clogging up my wall with ignorant fanboy babble.

justin123v 2 years ago 2
Well, a stroker kit is around 1800, cams are around 400, plus price of installation, probably around 2500 to 3500, a M90 supercharger is atleast 500. And then a dyno tune for about 500. So good try with 1000 in mods. You are looking atleast 5900 for the parts and labor of this.
USMC411 2 years ago
First, you don't have to buy a "stroker kit" to make a 3.8 into a 4.2. The V6 F150 IS a 4.2, so the parts are easy to come by. Second, pushrod cars only have 1 cam... and they don't cost $400. Third, cam installation may cost $2500-$3500 for a 4V, but not on a Pushrod 3.8... more like $500-$1000. I did Heads/Cam myself after doing nothing more complicated than CAI. Fourth, you'd have to be an idiot to pay $500 for an M90. Heck, you'd have to be an idiot to pay $500 for an M112 from an '03 Cobra.

Yeah, the gas mileage is pretty good (~25mpg mixed hwy/city) and it's got decent power for a DD, too.

it has a badass idle sound. i like it. i have a v6 too, and yeah its not a v8 but that doesnt mean it doesnt have power. i spanked a fox body 5.0 because he built it wrong and had it tuned bad. its all about how you put it together and if you do it right with the right parts.

he was actually racing. he was backfiring and topped out at 115 before red lining and not shifting up.

that mustang sound really good man...it all about personal prefrence..maybe you like to be unique..those cams sound more like 210 or 222 comp cams..those i believe are the biggest cams you could get for a 3.8...those mustang stock have 190 hp with 215 torque i think...but they do have a slow pick up.. its good that your beeing unique..even if you plan on selling afterwards, it all a learning process... sick mustang bro....

Thanks... Yeah, it was a matter of building up the car that I had since I plan on keeping it, and just making it fun. The cam is a custom cam, spec'ed by Delk Performance and manufactured by Comp Cams. Thanks again.
