95 Mustang V6 MPG and HP

Im looking at buying a 95 mustang v6 pretty cheap.. Only thing i dont like is its a v6 with 145 hp from the factory. I want to boost MPG and HP I would like to boost that as much as possible everything except a super charger.. Ideas welcome.. Rear gears, cold air intake, pulley,spark plugs, spark plug wires, new exhaust, ECU chip???? ANy tips????

 

Out of all the things you listed the only two that MIGHT increase power are a cold air intake (if it doesn't already have one) and a tuner chip.
Rear gears will make it accelerate faster but it won't improve mpg.
A good tune up will deliver the power that is there but it won't increase anything.
Putting in some higher compression pistons will give more power and increase fuel mileage.

 

Hold out for a v8 car. More power and better mpg. I like the 3.8 v6s (if you can keep head gaskets on them) but good mpg is not a strong point of the 3.8. Rear gears are your best bang for the buck, followed by all the other stuff you mentioned.

 

Underdrive pulley is supposed to add 14 horsepower.. New exhaust, get rid of the catalyic converters should add some power too.. I would like to have a v8 but they are double or more then what this mustang is... I would honestly like a 94-02 Firebird or Camaro with a 5.7...

 

X2.


also is it an auto or 5 speed?

 

Auto,, Im not a manual type of guy///

 

Im only on a $3,000 budget, Paying for it all by myself no help from parents.. I get my license in 5 months so im needing something farely soon.

 

Uh, you have a 302 (with a cam and 4 barrel intake) maverick with a b&m ratchet shifter, side pipes, 9 inch 3.50 gears, crager wheels (or magnums), grabber hood and small bumpers

If that dont get you the ladies, i dont know what will!!!!


plus its gold


Turbos would be cool

 

Lol i need something to drive through town every day.. The maverick will be more of a weekend vehicle... I really need a truck lol Truck suggestions?? Lol i like 97 and up dodge dakotas.

 

What!? you need to get your car guy card revoked

kidding!
but 5 speeds are a whole lot more fun plus you get better mileage

There ya go. Of course it is a manual, learn how to drive a stick Frankie, more fun to drive and better mpgs too.
