1998 Ford Mustang V6.
 

Hey guys, just thought I'd drop by here, I'm Schwaebz's friend (the owner of the 99 Mustang GT).

I've got a 1998 Ford Mustang V6, I've done a lot to it, although gas mileage is a secondary thing to me, I have greatly increased it with my current mods.

Originally my car was a 3.8L v6. I have since stroked the motor out to a 4.2, overbore of about .03 and honed it, that alone drastically increased gas mileage as well as my vehicle's power. Other mods include, a high flow cold air intake, free flowing exhaust (No crossover) just straight pipes back from the cats into mufflers. My car is also lowered so it gets a minor aerodynamic airflow advantage. Lastly I've got 3 custom tunes from Brenspeed. One for economy (for long trips) and two that are interchangeable for performance. I use the SCT X-Cal 2 to change between tunes, I normally run the economy tune unless I'm autocrossing in San Diego, with the economy tune I normally get around 28MPG in the city and about 32MPG on the highway. Who says domestic muscle cars can't get good gas mileage??

My plans are to get underdriver pullies, a higher flowing fuel pump to less restrict the fuel lines, aerodynamic front and rear splitters, and some other modifications.

Welcome to ecomoder, :)

Before you two showed up I had no idea mustang drivers cared about FE, ;)

haha, like I said FE is a secondary notion to performance, but, it's something we've ALL got to think about. And heck, having to run 91 octane makes me think about fuel efficiency ;)

Stanger98 -

Welcome to EM! The nose on your Mustang is excellent (very clean lines). And thanks for the advice on under drive pullies. I am adding that to my todo list.

The Stig Rules!

haha, thank you. It does look much better than the stock front that it had. Cobra bumpers are great on my bodystyle. No problem, glad I could help. I have a feeling I'll be on this site giving out as much advice as possible.

Yes, yes The Stig does rule :D

Sweet ride, friend of mine has a 1998 GT.. O and does ur friend have one of the Limited Edition Mustang VT's like the news said?:p

Wow, nice to see someone pepping up the ol 3.8. On the flip side, how does it run in the 1/4?

It's not a drag car so I wouldn't know. I use it for autocrossing. My suspension is built for handling.

so you bought a 2 cylinder delete version of the mustang lol

and you wrecked yours and now Ed is carrying you on his wing :p

Welcome to the forum! I sold Fords part time in the late '90s and I swear that's the first time I see a non-convertible Mustang that didn't have some kind of useless spoiler hanging off the back. Really nice look. :thumbup::cool:

haha, yeah you can see where it did have a spoiler on it though. I just plugged up the wholes with carriage bolts... thanks though :D
