1994+ 3.8 Performance Parts

[NateZ101]

Hi, would anyone know where you would happen to find a cam, heads, and stuff like that for the 3.8 v6?

[03Sixtang]

Try supersixmotorsports.com possibly?

[lemons95]

supersix motorsports has the lumpy-cam. It's made just for sound(It does what it says)
and then compcams has some cams for the ford 3.8/4.2 v6.
longtube headers,only get longtubes, the factory 94-98 shorties are just as good as aftermarket shorties.
a 4.2 stroker any crank out of a 4.2 ford V6, or you can be all fancy and buy a forged 4.2 crank.
split-port conversion. Probably best to get a parts car for this a broken 99-04 swap everything over into yours split-port alone is like 50hp.
a stock 4.2 with split-port is suppose to be 202hp and 250tq. HP doesn't change much if your already have 99-04 v6 mustang, but if your's is a 94-98 you just went from 145 to 202.

Alright, I'm going to buy a 97 v6 stang and I was looking at how much parts were but couldn't for the life of me find any cans or stuff. Thanks for the help.

Well I have a 98 v6 with cai,accell super coil,msd wires,flow masters h pipe,intake spacer,bbk pulley,ported and polished upper and lower intake and bama tuner ohh yea

[NateZ101]

How much HP you making?

[Fourloko530]

280 lol jk dont know lol u tell me lol

[1slosix]

i'd guess you're probably around 200 rwhp...that's about 60+ rwhp then stock ...hard to guess since i don't know much about the P&P you had done and to what extent

[NateZ101]

Yeah I am trying to get a little v6 so I cant try to work it up and beat my friends v8.Hmmmmmmm, Lets see how this goes

Eh doubt it, maybe 160, bad enough single ports don't make much horsepower already and it won't change much without a cam, something I learned from Garrett is they also have a decent bit smaller valves than the splitports so that holds them back too

You'll need a turbo or a good sized shot with gears.

[lemons95]

if it's a stock GT you could probably beat it naturally aspirated with the right gears, A 4.2 stroker motor, split port swap, ported heads and intake, high performance cam shaft, CAI, exhaust(Headers, O/R mid pipe, good mufflers)
if its 1994-98 its got 225 hp, 1999-04 had 260hp I think.

All that and you might make 300 rwhp for about 8-9 grand...

Or you can do a shot with good gears for about 1500 installed and tuned
Or a turbo kit installed tuned for around 6...

My .02

[Fourloko530]

David has about 5000 in his I think and he has good **** lol

[wc3john]

And I'm by no means bashing the v6... I was in the same boat just after high school. I had bought myself an 02 v6 auto that could barely chirp 2nd gear if shifted manually. I wanted something that could hang with new edge gt's.

1200 dollars and 1 week later, I had a car that put down 280rwhp and would play all day.

It's just my opinion that the pushrod sixxer needs a little help

[NateZ101]

Alright nice. Its a stock gt with a cold air and exhaust. Also, what would you guys say is a good price for a 97 v6 5 speed?

[wc3john]

2000 dollars

[NateZ101]

Alright that's good I found a real nice one for 1200 or best offer. Lets see what I could lower him too.

[lemons95]

my parents bought mine for $1000, the engine blew up after a couple months. The engine was beat up. The way I drove it probably didn't help much either.
