...... in my v6.:lol: I was at a red light next to a 350z. I didn't even know we were racing until his tires chirped. lol We went up to about 50, and and he pulled me about 1 1/2 cars. All I know is that he had exhaust, and that's all I have as of now. Man I can't wait to put that eaton on there.:rockon:

 

[98Snake03]

you are wanting to put a eaton on a V6?

 

[white02]

Yup that's the plan. I know y'all probably won't like the idea, but I love this car. lol I'm gonna build the engine, H/C/I with a decent cam, and the M112. Oh, I'm going to swap an 8.8 rear with 3.73's and swap in a t-5. I don't want a crazy fast car. I'll buy a cobra for that.

 

[faststang87]

Um......:??:

:nonono: not a V6 man......

 

[lancec2c30]

Good race... but don't waste money on the sixxer. For the same price, go buy a fox or something.

well...if you are set on it, why don't you get a twin screw(not sure if they make them for 6's though) or a high psi centrifugal?

You could go all out with your V6 with turbo etc. I've read where a built Mustang V6 under boost is just as, if not more, capable than the Supra.

I have a friend with a 4.2 stroker, ported heads, intake, cam....with a procharger making around 500 now.....so it is very capable....just could have a whole lot more with a V8 for the same price.

But to the OP, good for you for sticking to your dreams and not letting a bunch of interweb guys tell you what to do :thumbsup::beer:

 

[Wynn]

There's an 05+ VS running tens in the quarter. Dunno what's all done to it, though.

Heck I say build that V6. That'll be an awesome sleeper.

I don't know I believe V6 block is stronger than most of the V8 ones. I broke the block in my 95 GT with close to 600 rwhp.

I wouldn't doubt it...I was just saying it cost more to get a v6 to the same power level as a v8 (speaking for fi cars)

You can make even a V6 mustang SCREAM. Add a Squires Turbo kit.... watch out GT Mustangs. V6's have a good weight advantage.

:nonono: waste of time doe on the 6
you'll hit the ceiling in no time ----then what

 

[evolve]

I know a guy in FL with a turbo V6 making just at 400whp with the turbo kit and exhaust!

 

[white02]

Thanks to all of you who support it. I've got it all planned out; I just need the funds.:rockon: Oh, my goal is 400hp.:banana:

Anyone who does an M112 with the money in a built v6 motor quite frankly has rocks for brains. Hint: Isn't there a guy with $12,000 invested in a v6 motor and running NO2 with an Eaton and he's getting what, 470ish whp - That's a built motor with twin poweradders mind you. At that level, the power potential should be 700-800whp. That kind of foolishness is borderline shameful. :nonono:

 

[boston2k4]

dang thats rough CDR. maybe its hard for people to get a nasty v8, cobra, roush, etc. and what of insurance regardless of a spotless record if your under 25 and got a cobra it usually pretty crappy rates with a loan. What about the fact that we all started somewhere.. that most wont talk about.. like me i started on a focus! i hit 328 to the wheel with spray and a charger.. sunk 10 grand ++ into it easy. but it was the best learning experience. not to mention if he keeps the stock badges and looks (single exhaust tip) he will catch alot of goons off guard.

after years of learning and modding vehicles it doesnt matter what you got just make it go faster and your doing good.

ps focus turned into a drop top after going under a trailer make sure to upgrade your brakes when you double power. other than that happy tuning

 

[CDR Stang]

Sorry for sounding harsh. I have nothing against a potent 6er. The point I'm making is the choice of FI system here and the application of funds vs performance output. Doing to learn is fine. Learning from the experiences of others is just plain wise. ;-)

 

[white02]

Yeah I understand where y'all are coming from, but the insurance for a 17 year old and a v8 is terrible. I love working on cars, and I plan on buying an 03 cobra after college.

man, that is one horrible set-up that person has then! the eaton swap for a v6 cost around $2500 for the complete kit.
