Your attitude is 100% spot on the way it should be. My dad was a professional drag racer. He always pushed the same attitude towards building cars. The guys most respected in the arena were the ones who did better with what they had and did it right vs. the snobs who just spent the money and didn't have a clue. Respect.

I love my v6 and women love it. Lol I’m not trying to impress other dudes. Threw some nice wheels on it and called it a day.

5.0 bro that's dropping a like, my first mustang was a 3.7, never going to forget where I came from

Thanks bro, proud owner of a v6 2015 mustang

I have a 2014 V6 mustang, I bought it a month ago. I can tell you simply by adding a roush cold air intake I honestly gave a V8 gt hell a week ago. I could only imagine what the outcome would've been if I added the super charger, tunes and a few upgrades. We were neck to neck for a quarter of a mile. If I were the guy in the gt i would seriously be asking myself " did I spend the extra money to be a fingernail faster when I simply could have purchased the monster V6?" Don't get me wrong, the gt was very fast but simply not fast enough to get away from my stock V6. With that said I'm super happy with my car, I only use Shell Vpower gasoline in my engine and it seems to keep it running extra clean and a lot faster. I do, however plan on doing the blueprint mentioned here. All V8's be aware! Ford built an affordable monster in the V6. Don't sleep on this car for one! And for two be cautious of the next V6 you pull up on because it could very well hand you a depressing 400+hp ass beating...

I appreciate you explaining everything and also including the numbers.

Great video. My friend and I are Mustang brothers from way back. He had a 71 Mach 1 and I had a 69. We both had to say good bye to our Mustangs for practicality reasons. In 2015 I got a 2016 V6 and it was a great balance of power and economy, but when the Mach 1 came out in 21, I just had to get one. My friend now has my 2016 and we are Mustang Brothers again. I still respect and admire the 3.7. He really wants to follow your path, but we live in California where almost anything performance is illegal. We both had great fun going to Willow Springs and driving our Mustangs.

Great informational video Mike. Our builds are similar. I'm not on e85, and run the 4.10 pulley. That being said, I am very satisfied with how my v6 s197 runs. I purchased the car with the procharger already installed, but have since had it tuned by MPT. Runs fantastic. My wife loves driving the car also, so that means a lot to me. I appreciate your videos, keep them coming! Have a merry Christmas!

I watched everyone's videos absolutely professional, Thank You!

I have 2014 v6 and I want my pony to be all it can be. Thanks just won a subscriber. Keep it up

i had v8s before they maybe fast but insurance is high so is gas and i found out with the right mods i could make the v6 beat the v8 in its own years so iknow that you know what you are talking about. keep up the good work bro.

The sound tho! I used to have a 6 cylinder challenger and have nothing against less than 8 cylinder muscle cars but once I upgraded to a 19 5.0, man it’s a whole different world. There’s always someone faster out there. I’m not aiming to be the fastest but having a v8 is a complete different feeling than a v6. Props on the build!

Thank you for tips ! Helps a lot

I love the part if your wanting to keep your mpg this build isn't for you lmao, and I agree my 3.7 build has been a blast building and they are so much fun to drive.

Real talk👍 Your car is awesome, I'm currently building my v6 as well. Doing everything else first, suspension, thermostat, possibly upgrading the radiator, fuel pump & all that good stuff. I am however considering going turbo, anyways love your build brother. Keep the videos coming. 👌🇺🇸

Thanks for letting me know about the MPG . I love my mpg

Love this!! The ending reminds me of one of my recent videos 👍🏽

newer sub here, when i asked why a v6 i meant no ill will just curious, i definitely respect the build. doing a pocharger on my mustang and man its a little more involved i have to relocate or delete the thermostat and mod the power steering cooler lines out of the way of the charge piping, i got all winter to learn, its coming along day by day,

Respect!!! Loved the video you help me come to my conclusion I’m going V6 instead of Procharger I’m going single or twin turbo from jmp since I’m in Texas and they not too far from me. Seen one do 10.1 in the quarter at 134mph and I was impressed!!! Thanks again

hell yeah, I recently bought a 2014 v6 mustang and I’m building it

Yeah, man, if somebody ain't got $8,000. For that you could do The N/A combination with nitrous Is a great option, too. And it's cheaper. You could have 500 horsepower out of your V6 with nitrous for probably closer to 5 Grand And depending on the bolt ons you do. It's only going to take between 100 to a 200 shot of nitrous with E85 With the normal bolt ons that most people do for any car. And what's awesome about Mustang and Ford they sell all their aftermarket parts, so they design and build these race parts they race with them and win and then they sell them to the public. Over the years with just Roush Performance alone, and there's way more tuners of the Mustang they won over 30 National and World titles in racing and then they sell those racing parts to us. So even though They quit selling the Cyclone V6 You can still upgrade anything On the car because the S550 chassis It's still in production Eventually will dry up. But as of now You can still pick up Cyclone V6 4 pretty freaking cheap. For the performance and durability you get out of the engine. And a lot of times depending on the dealer You can still keep your warranty if the dealer puts on. Once they are the parts that are from Ford performance. Don't get me wrong just like the supercharger you're going to have to do support modifications like injectors a bottle warmer Boost controller like there's a few little things. But even with buying the bottle and filling it up with the nitrous. You're only in at like $3,200 for all of that stuff. And then another $2,000 for the basic bolt ons like your intake tune headers exhaust. another nice thing is unless you're on the bottle hitting the nitrous it will not mess with your PG so you can drive around at 24 or 26 And if somebody rolls up next to you And wants to run them Then you click the button And there you go. and if somebody was willing to put that $8,000 like a procharger or a good turbo setup cost into a V6 Mustang they could have a fully forged engine. Full bolt on meaning Everything that literally bolts onto the engine. Heads and cam or at least some head work And essentially run, however much nitrous you want. I would really recommend if somebody is interested at all in nitrous Or trying to make your Mustang faster to look up real Street performance. They have a whole video on running nitrous and everything. You need to run nitrous And their shop runs like a two thousand horsepower Supra. So they definitely know what they're talking about, LOL. But yeah for the same price as a procharger kit and installation was supporting mods you could have A V6 engine You don't have to worry about blowing up have a very nice and manageable at around 400 + wheel and then when you want to race click the button and you're pushing well over 700 wheel with a 300 shot And without all the extra weight A procharger kit brings.

Great video man. I don't own a v6 mustang, but ill tell you 2 things. I would get one, and wouldn't make a single excuse for it. I have a cbr 1000 with 4 a cylinder. Will leave a v8 gt 2 zip codes behide on a top speed race. Or more than half a drag strip behind. People all caught up on size are narrow minded. With size usually comes more weight. It's all about power to weight ratio for more speed. Faster is faster.

I have a 4 cylinder Fusion for gas mileage, and my 2011's warranty has been gone for years. I'm all in, baby.

Love this man

I am new to this . And thank you for the information. . I will have too do a little bit at a time .due to money... There are a few things I can do for my 2013 v6 .cold air intake and a bridge in for my front struts under the hood . It's a great car .fun to drive . And and its not going to break speed records .but for me at this time it's fast for me. .. no it's not a GT . But that ok .... Not out to impress anyone ... Keep the car looking great . And as time go's add more modes too it . Again thanks for the information. And have a great week .

Love this build I’m going to base mine off this

Very well said

I have a 2016 v6 mustang and i love it to death. It was my first car that my parents got me when I went to college and it holds a special place in my heart. Rather than getting the latest gt, I want to upgrade my v6 and keep it as a memorabilia. I dont know why people hate on the v6 mustang when the ford raptor and ford gt are turbo v6s. I cant wait to show the v8 douche bags what a v6 can do.

Don't forget that Ford chose a V6 for it's Ford GT and it won the Le Mans again, after winning it fifty years ago. First time it did it with a V8 and this time it did it with a V6.

I want to go fast !!! I know it’s been expensive to make this thing go fast ! But it damn sure is cool

Great information shared here. Something to note is that a good dyno tune is gonna run about $600-$700. My tuner switched my procharged S197 over to HP Tuners from SCT and the car is sooo much happier for it. Also, if you want to go E85 I highly recommend 90 lb/hr injectors from DW and a boost-a-pump. The JMS Powermax is plug and play. My car ran out of fuel after 5800RPM even with the bigger injectors and DW fuel pump. Once I added the JMS Powermax the problem was solved and it made 471 to the rear wheels with only 8lbs.

I had the installations done mainly because I was working and didn't have the time to do them. My mods and their cost including taxes are as follows: Procharger, installation, and custom tune $7,700. Total boost was a little less than 7 lbs on an otherwise stock Mustang V6. Horsepower and torque on a Mustang Dyno were 370 and 300 respectively. Mustang Dynos are load bearing and more conservative. For my car add 20-30 horsepower and torque to get Dynojet numbers. In addition, horsepower numbers are a little lower because my car is an automatic. 1/4 mile ETs were 13.0-13.2 at 106-108 mph depending on DA. I later added the following: Upgraded 4.1" pulley that came with the kit to 3.85". Boost increased by 2.5 lbs to 9.3 lbs. Added water/methanol system and updated tune. Total cost for both pulley and water/methanol upgrades $2,300. Horsepower and torque on a Mustang Dyno are 420 and 335 respectively. Installed Circle D 3400 stall torque converter. Costs include torque converter, labor, transmission tune, and other related charges $2,200. Wheels and tires $750. Replaced entire exhaust system $1,600. The cats burned out with the increased boost mainly due to the exhaust system being too small. The 2-1/4" catback was replaced with 2-1/2" resulting in 25% more flow. The stock cats were replaced with replacement cats for a 2010 Shelby. The X-pipe was replaced with an H-pipe. 1/4 mile ETs are 12.2-12.5 at 111-114 mph depending on DA. The total cost for the mods are $14,450. As stated in the video, modding is not cheap. My gas mileage remained about the same except for a small drop in city driving. On the highway, I still get about 26 mpg. I might change the stock 3.31 gears to 3.90. This should drop the ETs another .2 seconds. That will reduce my gas mileage on the highway by 15 to 20%.

Great video bro I think I just need the driveshaft and thermostat I will be dynoing the car next week if every thing goes well . Also can confirm the 3.7 s550 can go up to 150 on stock drive shaft I did it just didn’t record it. Also the mileage definitely went down lol. It is cool though to be different once in a while than the rest everyone gets 5.0.

you should do a N/A 3.7 build video on recommendations!

Recent subscriber--great vIdeo--thanks!!

Mike Thank You

Thank you

I have a 2013 3.7 Stang with 3.73's, BBK CAI, MPT tune with Eibach Sport-System-Plus Suspension Kit W/Koni yellows, and circle D torque converter. I would not give up my 3.7 for any 5.0...... If I want more power I will go with the gt500 If not I will just stay with my 3.7

Our builds are literally the same except I got turbochargers not a pro charger it’s crazy how much power a V6 has with all the added boost only part that sucks is I’m at 4000 feet above sea level so I’m loosing about 25 horse power which is A LOT but oh well

Hey, what a nice video. I’m from Puerto Rico and I have the same as you, 2016 V6, so I want to do the same what you did in the car, because here, in my island, some V8 owners think that they are kings on the streets, so, one they I want to kick their ass... Just for fun 😁💪

I just got one 6 speed (2014) and I’m trying to do the same . I subscribed to you way before but now that I got a v6 cyclone I 100% agree . Under rated platform

BEST SHIRT ON KZfaq! 👿👿. 6 bangers checkin in! #443

I think the big difference for me is when you're on an auto circuit track the V6 and EcoBoost are so much more fun to drive then the GT because you can stay on throttle more and break less. The GT is a great quarter mile and light to light car. But the almost 200 lb difference up front it's a lot when you're trying to get around a short circuit class race course. I do miss my 13 GT but not as much as I thought I would owning the V6's now.

The s197 2 piece driveshaft didn't fail because of high speed. I have a 5.0 with the factory 2 peice driveshaft, have been over 160mph

Due to some great feedback on Facebook I’ve added a link to all the parts mentioned in the video. You can find the links above in the description. Thanks for watching!

good video i'm just starting this build. it seems that AMR does this whole kit for $9K in 2022 dollars.. driveshaft not inc.

I do have questions, when you bought the V6 Mustang, was your original intention to modify it? MeAndMineTv had a 5th Gen track edition V6 Camaro (and upgraded to the 1LE ZL1 Supercharged V8 later). Did you had any shock, suspension, and braking upgrades? Is your ECU tuned (I heard the 2017 V6 Mustang top speed is 113 mph, about 142 mph with the limiter off. Ford reasons it wears the weaker driveshaft). My last question since insurance is cheaper for a V6, does it justify the price 4 to 5 years down the road. Regular person will buy an new non V8 Mustang (4 cylinder Ecoboost) because it already shares the similar aesthetics as the 5.0, majority of owners will use regular unleaded, and maintenance is lower, is your maintenance higher on your tuned V6?

Can u build the procharger kit????

I drive a 16’ gt pp and i wanna know if i can pick up a 10’-14’ v6 manual and put some power into it for a drift car

Just got my first mustang v6 3.7l 2017 mustang. Once I finish paying it off I’m def gnna add some mods but would this build work even if my transmission is Automatic??

If you wanna save gas get the procharger and don't use boost unless you need it. But it will only get you to 400 hp

You don’t have handling upgrades on the car? Like strut towers, coils, brakes, and etc.

My engine temps are at 205 but I run 2100rpm at 80mph on the highway for about 20 minutes

What gas should i use in my v6 87 or 93

Would u recommend it on a 2005 that have 150k miles? I hope you respond

does anyone know if i could program the key so the top goes down when i turn it on or if there is a remote i could get for a 2007 ?

I have a 2014 sport package convertible , what mods y’all think I need to make it past 400 hp? It’s at 315 rn

I’ve made possibly 600hp for less than what I sold my coyote for. That’s including the car turbo kit running and everything. I sold my gen 1 2011 coyote for 16k. So literally I’m making way more power for less money with less cylinders in the same car.

Would you also recommend adding 4.10 gears? When I had an auto v6, I was thinking of changing the gear ratio as well.

I need to save gas a better mpg any ideas?

Ayy I got a mustang v6 2015 and I’m trying to boost it to 400hp so any recommendations? Was thinking of starting off with adding a turbo

@doomsday410 I live in the Maryland area and want my 1 piece driveshaft and gears installed professionally. Do you have any shop recommendations?

Where you live in Tennessee. I’m in Nash.

For my first car I wanna buy a 2015 v6 mustang

$985 well worth to $ from 305 to 395 what a diferance!! 2016 ford mustang 3.7 cyclone Larry Broad

I appreciate the difference in engines from 4 cylinders to all other displacements🫥

Thoughts on headers?

How many miles per gallon do you get on the average? Are turbos better with less maintenance?

Is that a cyclone badge on your front grill?

Well a used newer V6 is around 7-11K if you know where to look so 8K ain’t that bad stacked on top. Beats paying 18K for a stock GT and then having to pay higher insurance.

I'm at 2 min now and i'm hoping he did a explorer TT swap onto his V6.

I bought the V6 because i'm poor and I can't afford the 5.0, maybe next time

I thought this had some info on a performance upgrade not on a chat session. It did nothing for me as I own a Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 Coupe. It only Will do 160 on the mph stock but I wanted a few more ponies. I got tattoos also and can b.s. but I don't feel up to listening to chit chat.

I want to gap a stock 5-0 that’s it

So I went on shaftmasters.com and they're asking for a username and password.... I dont get it.

Can a V6 handle 500hp?

I already get 21mpg in my v6...

Not trying to hate but if this is expensive why not just get a lightly used GT?

Quick is cool, Fast is fool

What are we talking in WHP?

Six is the shit lol

it is not a lot of money to gain 200 hp

In my opinion you should’ve started with a cold air intake

Waste of money unless autocrossing, and then maybe.. 2015 2016 with bolts and tune as much or more power.

First thing is Get pro charger............ why not buy V8 rather putting $6000 more on v6.

25 mpg... 😂😂 Not with how I drive on stock 2016..... Lol more realistically like 19mpg.

Women drive V6s, Real men drive V8s.

my 2014 3.7 has always had a major delay in throtle response takes like three seconds when smash pedal to a reaction! wtf? i miss my camarro!

put cobra decals on it! lol

Bro i get 21 mpg 🥲

Not trying to hate but if this is expensive why not just get a lightly used GT?
