Thats BS the supercharger is around 5k and the price difference between v6 and v8 is around 4.5-5k

And everyone doesnt get free install, most people dont so you will have to add another 1k. you may have got it free but thats not the norm

1st off i would like to say that Lethal is a good shop that stands behind their work and if you are dissatisfied with it they will take time out of their schedule to make sure things are fixed. Next the whole v6<v8 bashing is just plain annoying. Yes we know that out car is slower than the v8 version, but the stock blocks and cranks are a lot stronger than v8's. In fact, the factory 3.8/4.2 block has yet to be split from the abundance of power; and the 4.2L crank, a $200 piece, can support 600+hp. the 4.6 block is good until what mid 500?

A stock v8 isn't much of a challenge compared to most of the F/I v6's, a simple supercharger or turbo and you will see yourself arround the 300hp mark, a bit more than the stock GT which will put down arround 240-250hp stock. With that said it does not take much to beat a stock GT. And the money, ohhh that is what makes the world spin these days. It will take less money to get more power out of a v6 than a GT, i have proved it before over on mustangforums, go look if you care.
Greg, if you need any help/parts i have a 02 motor in my garrage, let me know if you need anything.

Just had to get all that off my chest.

you put the same mods on each the v8 wins. of course with boost a v6 will be faster than a na v8. but with same boost, v8 wins everytime. thanx for pointing out obvious stuff though.

i hate to be the voice of reason, Lord knows i don't even listen to my own reason at times, but this is a rather stupid argument. a V8 was made to have more power than a V6. period. if you look at the specs of a stock 6 and a stock 8, the 8 has more hp, more torque, larger displacement, etc... you can mod the hell out of a 6 and beat the doors off of a unmodded 8, but mod them the same and it doesn't matter. now don't get me wrong, i drive a 6. i am modding my 6. do i have any delusions that i can beat an 8? one day, maybe a stock one. but how many people do you know that don't mod their mustang? i enjoy driving my 6 as do most of the people that drive their's. i understand that the 6 is considered the "little brother" to the 8, but just like picking a fight with your big brother got your ass kicked then, trying to win an argument about making a 6 faster than an 8 will get you the same results. i am content in the fact that my car will never be an 8. if i wanted it to be an 8, i would've bought one. so it seems to me, simply, stock 8 > stock 6 power wise. any other argument is pointless. do what makes you happy with your car. don't give two shits what someone else thinks.

Back to the still spending more money on the v8[+cost of the car], I mean why are we arguing either way? Why waste money on modding any mustang we should all drive LS1's either way....

I understand DIY, but many do not have the TIME, TOOLS, or Knowledge (or time to get the knowledge) to Do it themselves.

Thats why you round up a group of guys off your local forum / from your local car club. Grab a few cases of *insert alcoholic beverage here* find a spot with tools and get at it.

6hours isn't much time at all...

I like to keep my comparisons fair...

98-02 = ta / camaro

And I'm not a closet Fbody lover, I'm a general car lover.... However I did talk a friend of mine out of buying a 99gt and into buying a 98 z28 camaro about 2years ago . . .

Because their is a group of people with too much money who like to drop vehicles off and say "here get this done, this is my visa, have fun"....

I mean I like working on my car too but if I had the money to just drop it off and pick it up I'd be lazy like that :P
