Possible upgrade route/upgrades for 2005 Ford Mustang V6?
Yes, I know it's a V6 (automatic), but I'm just 15 and the insurance is still HIGH. Anyway, I got my 'Stang about a month ago, it's the best color (screaming yellow), and I wanted to get some upgrades. It feels amazing now and with the 400w amp and 12' subwoofer, but it needs something. I want to start with a Flowmaster American Thunder axle-back exhaust to create a bit more sound, then get a BBK chrome CAI with a BBK throttle body and an SR proformance throttle body spacer. After that, I want to get a tuner, a BAMA Diablosport InTune. After that, I'm going to get some visual upgrades, like lights, side louvers, funtional hood vents, some painted interior dress up and painted mirror covers. I think I might get a shelby gt500 fascia conversion kit and the shelby gt500 hood but, it's a bit pricey. This is just the plan, as of now for my Mustang. Any other preformance upgrades that I can get? Should I go with a supercharger or a single turbo? I want to have my car done by the time I get out of high school.
It will be astronomically expensive and takes a lot of time and expertise, However, you seem to know a decent amount and are heading in the right direction. Personally, if you like the Mustang, sell yours and get a V8, you'll never be able to get as good sound or performance. Also, you will regret spending so much time/money on an automatic, six cylinder, muscle car. I promise.
p.s. Drive a manual, you will get embarrassed to tell all the people who ask about your (already kinda embarrassing to have a V6)modified mustang that it's an automatic. Girls also find this hot.
Instead of spending every last cent in "mods" that do zero to the value or real world performance of the car, why not just drive it?
It will cost a small fortune. How much did you say you made?
Chrome CAI = heat soak
TB Spacer = worthless
Bigger TB = bad idea without a tune
GT500 fascia and hood on a V6 = total poseur move
"Should I go with a supercharger or a single turbo?"
Neither, the stock internals won't tolerate much boost.
