hey jeep... that gn that white smokes the tires on the dyno... im pretty sure its a twin turbo v8 and it isnt the original 6 cylinder... i know i have seen that car before on the net and im pretty sure it was a TT V8... either way it is still one damn impressive car.... just double checking onebadass280z37822.1997569444

modding a 4cyl is pointless. if you want to modify an engine, dont buy a half engine, get a whole engine. even the ballsy imports have either v6s or v8s, (sorry import guys reading this, a civic is not ballsy)

4 cylinders just have less potential having less displacement. anyone seen the new cavalier commercials trying to appeal to ricer fags? i think it might just be in texas but its so gay

agreed...people can say high revs and forced induction all day, but if you do the same to a high displacement engine then you're back to square one

Wow, so supra's can make over 1000hp with only 3/4 of an engine... that's amazing! You might as well think of everything in terms of displacement. If you boost up to 1 bar, you have doubled your displacement. If you double your rev limit, you have doubled your displacement. If you double your compression ratio...
So if I have a 1.6 liter with 9psi,8k redline, and 10.2:1 compression, it's the same as a 3.9 liter with 0psi, 6k reline, and 9:1 compression ratio. Now say my car weighs 2000lb, and the comparison car weighs 3000... now I have a 5.8 liter engine by comparison.

I'm a member of a V6 Mustang forum... depending on what year V6 you have (94-98 singleport, or 99+ spliport), you might or might not have alot of work to do. You can drop alot of N/A money in a singleport, and still never put out more than 140hp at the wheels. It is very hard to get them to run better than high 15s (high 16s/low 17s is the average stock). If you have a splitport, then you're starting out at high 15s/low 16s (average, again). 3.73s, t-lok, P&P heads/TB/upper and lower intake, CAI, headers, x or h-pipe, and some sort of dual exhaust system (GT takeoff is popular) will get you in the 14s if you're a good driver. Ford Superchip is also very worthwhile. And while you're at it, get a short shifter. Stock stang shifter is worse than some trucks.

No offense meant... but if that's your way of thinking, why do you have a Mustang?
