Hey guys, I'm new here but wanted to get your opinions.
I just bought a 2000 v-6 automatic and of course I want to get more power out of it. I know it isn't the greatest choice but I got an excellent price and have school loans to pay off before I destroy my insurance with a GT, but that is the next step in my love affairs with mustangs.
I HAVE used the search function
and here is what I am thinking.
The first upgrade will be an ebay CAI setup.
From what I've read the next step would be to do an underpully but an article I read mentioned it may cause problems for battery charging if you have a large stereo system. I am hoping to have a little something, not competition but maybe an 10" or 12" to add good quality bass and send amped power to the door and back speakers after upgrading them. Would this be enough to hurt the battery charge if I go with an underpulley. If so should I run a larger pulley on the alternator to avoid draining batter, and if I do run the larger pulley how will that affect the gains from the underpulley setup?
And finally assuming I go with the CAI and underpully what would be the next upgrade that would get the most bang for the buck, I am considering exhaust, new gears or a chip (but I doubt that a chip is worth it at this point, my thoughts were to change the shift points for the automatic)
Thanks for any help and or suggestions.
Man its nice to have a good car finally
