No, but seriously, if you want more 'gains', bolt-ons, E85 tune, racing chip.
you'll probably get up to 220-240? Idk. i'm just guessing.

V8 Mustang usually fix this problem.

SHUT UP AND COLOR

If you want a cheap fast power gain I'd recommend upgrading your punny axel back to a full headerback or replace the header all together! You'll be surprised how much difference it does for your butt dyno. Something 2.5-3" should be sufficient.

Don't forget that hot air intake

Shifting above 5500RPM on the twisties...

I'd say above 7000RPM, but I guess that works too.

Buying skinnier, shittier tires would make it seem faster too due to lack of grip

Is the search button broken?

husker741 · 07-29-2014, 08:22 AM

Edit: works fine for me!

Im considering putting more power in this engine but would like to hear from you guys first.
What have you done to increase this cars performance...
Turbo, super charger, cold air intake, racing chip, exhaust etc etc
What did you get and how has it changed your cars Hp/performance??

I'd def ditch that staggered setup, the only thing you did by doing that is take a car that handles neutral and make it into a car that will naturally understeer. Staggered setups on any car that does not have a rear weight bias or absolutely needs the tire to put down a ton of power is always going to be a bad idea unless your only goal is looking cool.

OP, here you go Forced Induction forum

270 whp is the sweet spot for this car. Anything more than that would probably upset handling balance. Otherwise buy a mustang
