There are already several superchargers and turbochargers available to fit the stock V8, providing …

Low weight, a big engine bay, rear wheel drive and shared components across several lines make the Mustang an excellent platform for building serious performance. With so many options, it's easy to get carried away with engine builds and custom suspension setups, but that doesn't mean all modifications require weeks of work. These three upgrades are simple enough to tackle over the weekend and can provide major improvements to your car's performance.Install a Better IntakeA Cold Air Intake repla …

Between the exhaust ports to the bumper, there are a lot of parts that make up your Mustang's exhaust.

Thinking about replacing your Mustang's intake manifold? Here's what you need to know from what this modification can do to what it takes to get it done.How Does an Intake Manifold Affect Performance? Some manifolds work really well with high RPM builds, while others offer more power at midrange engine speeds. Most of this difference comes down to the runners going between the throttle body and the intake ports. In general, small, long runners will maintain air velocity at low speeds for more lo …
