1998 v6 mustang

[matt98stang]

thanks man! i have no idea how much hp its running but im guessing in the mid 200's

That's a really good price, i wouldnt recommend the h-pipe for 6's because it makes it too raspy, i have the straight pipes from the cat back and that seems to work best for our year models.

[matt98stang]

@albiel07 hell ya man sixxes are fun, my cobra means business but man i love my 6

[thirdgenguy17]

Holy shit that is a fast V6!

[best17driver]

Have you ever gone to the 1/4 Mile? Whats the time?

[rudolphna54]

That is a good sounding V6, much nicer than the newer 4.0L V6.

[mitch9521]

how much did you pay for your v6???? i would never buy a 94-98 v6 mustang, too low hp.

[matt98stang]

i paid 2k for it and another 3500 in parts for mine. it beats all the other year v6's and beats stock gt's (except 05-up). i'd say i t does pretty good for a 5500 car. and the 94-98 model year is just sexy to me lol

[ralatorre9]

@matt98stang beats 99-04 gt's my asshole! LOL 150hp does not = 260HP!!

[matt98stang]

@ralatorre9 this had the 09-04 intake swap so think 190 ish, plus all the mods and light weight its very possible man.

i thought that the v6 could only have the 7.5 gears in it. how did you fit the 8.8?

[matt98stang]

there the motive 7.5 gears

[ouchie3]

a 8.8 is a direct bolt up, just get it from a gt and slap it on and have a nice day driving with your 8.8 rear end with stock posi and 3.27 gearing

[matt98stang]

ya i know but when i had the extra cash for all those upgrades i wasnt smart about it, i had a good setup and everything but overlooked that fact lol, i just put a posi in and the gears and now i wish i saved the money! the 3.27's in my cobra are nice and if put those in my 6 from the begining i would have saved tons of money.

[ouchie3]

so you mean you kept the stock 7.5?

[Gloomshadow1]

how much did the gears and t-lock cost you? Another wierd thing that you may know..Ive heard ppl talk about installing front and rear sway bars..my 95 has those already..was that stock or a factory option for a 95? Or are they talking about after market upgrades? The ones I have seem good enough for a 6..why upgrade em?

[matt98stang]

after install and parts around 1300 because at the same time i also had a clutch and aluminum flywheel put in. with just the gears and posi it was upwards of 500 (you have to buy a bearing rebuild kit with it) and if your going to do that get the 8.8 rear end...that was my mistake =\. i'll give you the link to my cardomain and it will show you pics of my rear sway bar, i got it at a junkyard for 50 bucks and was worth more than most of my parts. v6's don't come stock with rear sway bars but gt's

[g00oogle]

we should race i have the same exact car with

wires @ plugs, flowmaster true dual X pipe, underdrive pulley, mac cai, throttle body spacer, T-lock, an soon to be SCT tuner

[matt98stang]

ya we should i basicall have the sam setup you do except you have and x pipe and my pipes are just straight back ive also got some chassis stuff done to it but other than that seems like a good race

[g00oogle]

ur probaly only pushing like 160hp to the crank, and have uve gone to the drag strip?

[matt98stang]

idk it came at 150 to the crank stock, so i'll have to go to a dyno to get the RWHP to know for sure, i just never have the time.

[mandrgalvan]

well cuz i know for sure you did fell a big difference once ur gears/tlok were installed but those mods will not show up on the dyno

[Horsinaround01]

for a 98 thats not bad

[matt98stang]

what do you think it is 7? 7.5? idk but im probably not even pushing 200hp right now
