The 4.6 makes very little bottom end torque,but creates good power up top the rpm.So to get the bottom end torque out of the 4.6,you need to add gear,anything above the 4.10 is really noticable. The 4.6L stangs are equipped with 3.27 minus the '96 model i believe,so going to a 3.73 really doesn't give it enough seat out of the pants feel for the great percentage of the modular crowd,where some feel that the 3.73's is alright,as compared to the 5.0L that is factory equipped with 2.73's,or 3.08's for option,then jumpimg to 3.73's,....that my friend is a seat out of the pants difference in how she feels.In my expirience,i felt the 3.73's really didn't do much for my 4.6L GT,so a year later 4.10's went in.:chacha: Just do a search on any mustang site with the tech topic on the 4.6L,and gears.:) |

lol, but the added weight of 100 coats of wax might slow you down more than you'd gain. Speaking of weight, a FREE upgrade is to shed some weight on the cars. ANd a nitrous kit is definately the best bang for the buck. There is also the 40.00 electric fan from the wreckers for the 5.0 (off a mark 7, or a taurus), a 3g alternator for the 5.0, If you are feeling spry for your 8.8 you can find 4.10 or 3.73 gears in trucks or explorer's fairly cheap. Aluminum driveshaft from an AWD aerostar (also from the wreckers). Bump your timing.
Thats all i can think of off the top of my head. Most of this is wrecker stuff that can be had fairly cheap. the wax weight of snakebites car is for traction... ;) |
For the 96-98 crowd, you MUST do the PI swap ! Heads, Cams and Intake from 99+ you can do it in a week-end with moderate mecanical skills.
After that, go for shifter (Steeda, Pro 5, etc..) and then a 3.73+ gears You will enjoy your "new" car :) |

Never will I ever do 3.73's again it was a dumb part on my behalf.... 3.90's = N/A or 3.55's = Forced Induction! |
Turbo all the way!
On top of that headers, intake and exhaust manifolds, and beef up the drive system to handle the power. |
just wanna add... i went to a pick a part today, found an 03 v6 with a K&N CAI...
all you v6 owners... GET IT!! you can feel a little more pep out of it, nothing drastic. and i love how the sound of the engine has changed as well!! lol bonus is now: i also have a better MAF sensor :tup |
