BansheeBoy347 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I just got a 1999 Mustang GT, and I want to add some go fast parts. What could I do to make it go faster? My 96 Mustang has a built 347 stroker in it,it is pushin around 375-400hp and I want the 99 to have about the same. Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Those 4.6s like boost. Simpler mods might be swapping rear gears to a 4.10 or 4.30 set. If you're running an auto a shift kit and higher stall torque converter will really help your launch. Manual transmissions can benefit from a fresh clutch and new tight bushings for all of your shifting linkages. There's a lot you can do with this car. Budget and mechanical skill is the limiting factor. Quote

[/quote/] I'm going to be ordering some long tube headers, off road x-pipe, and some Flowmaster super 44's, a Typhoon Intake, 78mm BBK power-plus throttle body, and a k&n cold air intake. How much more power would I be getting? And its a 2004 Mustang gt 40th anniversary edition, I just got the car today and thought it was a 99. Quote

I've been lookin at the turbo's for it, and there is a jdm gt45 turbo on ebay for $800, but is it worth it?

Dinner Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 stay away from the cheap ebay shit. there is a reason that turbo kits are so expensive. Couldn't agree more! I've seen pictures of those so called "turbos" after people have bought them...and the compressor housing was 2 pieces glued together.... Quote

Sounds like they aint worth a shit, looks like im going to be holding off on the turbo for awhile, will I have to build the internals of the car to hold up with a turbo? Quote
bennny Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Supercharge it. And if you just go with a base kit that is actually made for the car, no. There are kits that are made to push the hp on the car and keep it within safe limits of what the block and other componets can handle. I have had both turbo and supercharged vehicles. The supercharger is very simple (depending on the kit you get) and is a lot less maintenance. And there is nothing like a s/c whine Quote
