I am very interested in your combo. The NHRA K/SA index is 12.65 @ 3550 lbs raceweight. What rear gear ratio was in the rear end on that 13.27 run ? Your MPH looks good ! What were your rpm shift points ?

Certainly apples and oranges, but somewhat pertinent, I’ve got a 2013 F150 with the 3.7 motor. This replaced a 1984 Dodge D250 with a 360.
In every conceivable category, the F150 is from another planet. (This is a base, XL “work” truck vs the old Dodge which was a “Prospector”… the high end at that time.) The 3.7 in the truck may be tweaked a little different than the Mustang, but compared to that old 360, the 3.7 is like a rocket. It can easily tow/pull anything the 360 could, and then some. |

The 2011 truck 3.7 is the same just a different tune, get a tuner and a cold air kit and you will get more power and better mileage !
Al, there is nothing wrong with the factory PCM it is very tunable and tuning software out there and tuners if you are going to run a C4 trans should not be a problem just shut some stuff off in the PCM. There is more aftermarket parts coming every day ! Headers Off-Road Pipes, Exhaust , Drivetrain, Light Weight Wheels and Tires All kinds of Suspension Parts ,Camshafts, Pistons just to name a few things that are already out there. Tony K. |

Thanks Tony.
Does the V-6 Mustang come with a 8.8 rear end ? Sounds like the combo needs 4.56 (or higher) gears, 28 inch tall slicks, high stall convertor, and drag springs. Would be great to get the car to run under the index with the factory 6 speed automatic.

They do have an 8.8.
4.56 with a 4.17 first gear? Good luck! |
