I love my low miles (57k) 06 GT ! Love the looks of the 05-09 and the sound the 3V makes with the right exhaust setup. Oh, and what about a set of gears ? For a basically stock 06 GT automatic what gear would be best ? 3.73 or 4.10 ?
Brenspeed gave me Detroit Rocker Cams, Pypes Longtube Headers, Off road X-pipe, one piece driveshaft. Cold Air intake. Cooling mods, and many other mods. They turned my car into a frigging BEAST! At idle it chops like a AX and might be the loudest car in the State of Maine! The thing is absolutely sick! Thank you so much Brenspeed for giving me my dream car! And making it one of a kind! I'm a fan boy for life! Shout out to George & Dom!!!Thanks for all the videos Brent. That's why I came to you guys. The shit u guys do is just AWESOME!
WOW! I bought my 07 GT/CS last year bone stock. I have spent the last year researching what mods are worth it and what order to do them in. Brent I wish I found this video a year ago!! Lol!! I believe you just put my plan of action in order. Thank you sir for making this video and taking YOUR time to help us new pony owners out. Excellent video!!
You mentioned you’re surprised how many people inquire about 3V’s. My son is 18 and just got one. There’s a whole generation coming in wanting these cars. I’m a coyote guy myself and love that my son shares my passion for fast fords.
Thanks Brent! Always great advice for the 2005-2009 GTs. Love that you’re still making vids for this platform. Gonna do the delete plates and UD pulleys on my 06. You Da man!
On my 3rd Mustang, Original owner of an 84 1/2 GT350, 04 Mach1 and just purchased my dream car, Torch Red S197 Saleen SC281. Can't wait to get this Saleen unleashed. Love your videos! Triple
I'm so glad to hear you say you've never seen a power difference between Kooks, Pypes, or BBK. BBK is obviously the cheapest option by quite a bit and is also the set I ended up going with for that reason along with that they still come ceramic coated. I just wish BBK made a H mid pipe as well instead of X only. Wish you mentioned expected HP gains for the headers though like you did for the CAI+Tune & Camshafts! Thank you for the great advice and explanations of the parts for those who needed it!
Brenspeed did the Pypes long tubes, high-flow cats, X pipe, a cold air and the tune on my '06 GT two years ago now, and it was money well spent. Some relatively mild improvements that were immediately apparent performance-wise and probably the cheapest HP increase one can buy.
I had kooks long tube headers and h-pipe, detriot rocker cams, ford performance intake and throttle body, and jlt cai all installed at Brenspeed. 3 visits and each time was awesome. Had my 2010 dynoed recently and the tuner was impressed with how spot on the Brenspeed tune was for max performance and I ended up having 336 to the wheels with 303 torque at 6600 rpm, my guy pushed it just a bit more. The service and communication was great the wait time while installing was pretty quick for the task at hand. Thanks for making my ride morae fun than I could have imagined Brenspeed!
Coyote? COYOTE? We don' need no steenking Coy-oh-tay! This was, hands down, the best quick and down-and-dirty on how to just-as-quickly turn the 300-hp 3V 'Stang engine -- which some people (mistakenly) thought was kind of a dog, let's be honest here, and I have just as much HP in my 2015 V6 3.7 AWD Taurus Police Interceptor sedan -- into a serious performer. Now I'm Jonesing for a 3V mid-aughts 'Stang because, for one, that'll certainly save some mean green in these here "uncertain economic times" and, Numero Due, it's not nearly as difficult as some people might think. Eh, I grew up watching my shade tree mechanic dad constantly tinker with the 289 small block in his '66 Mustang. This video brought back some great memories and almost (ALMOST) makes me somewhat regret divorcing my born-in-Spiceland/Newcastle-Indiana first wife. Good times for sure. Thanks for the great video! :-)
Brenspeed has the best canned tune I have used. When I put the Steeda under drive pulleys on my 3V Auto, the alternator would cut out at idle, when in gear. Raised my in gear idle speed to 700 and problem is solved.
Love Brendspeed!! Got their 3v detroit rocker cam in my mustang many years ago, and it was incredible. Brenspeed tune was also better than any other tune (from AM, etc.) quick note on the BBK intake though - I was NOT able to use it without a tune, and BBK didn't help at all... get the JLT instead!!
I would. BBK is same size as stock except you get the open filter. JLT is 110mm and will support everything you toss at it all motor. Plus they dont cost much compared to some others.
Finally, finally, finally saved up and pulled the trigger, and was at your shop last Friday morning for my jlt, sct x4 with 87 and 93, Detroit rockers, spark plug change, and new black valve covers... all in one day! Great tech and installation, as well as all the service and facilities! Cant wait to drive my 05 and enjoy the difference. Cant due to crap weather unfortunately.
I have all the mods mentioned except the intake manifold. Just had 3.73 gears installed too. I enjoy all your 3 valve videos. They’re very informative 👍🏻👍🏻
@@brandonrickbornponyexpress6574 I am glad I went with the 3.73’s. Rpm’s at 70 mph is like 2300-2400 so gas mpg didn’t drop that much. My biggest enjoyment is how hard she pulls in 3rd gear. It’s great!
I just installed Detroit rocker cams jlt3 cai bbk headers and 93 tune and holly shit what a difference 400 crank 340 rwhp. Ty brenspeed wasn’t for watching this I’d never of known
I’m new, 1st time 3valve owner. 08 manual, I’m loving brenspeed 3valve videos. Definitely want a bit more, power. I’ll be in touch!!! Brenspeed!! For parts!
Always like to watch these types of videos before I even start shopping for these kinds of cars just cuase even If I don't buy 1 I'm more educated on the vehicle
Love to hear you talk , I am always learning about my 06 Gt , I'm 65 and still playing with my stang I have all the major bolt on's except for heads and torque converter , yes I have complete stock lower block and automatic trans , anyways love to hear you lecture never to old to learn more...👍
Much love for the 3 valve! Great information and I can certainly attest to everything you said! I have an '06 with the 5R55S Transmission. I have a Steeda 92mm cold air intake, Ford Racing Throttle Body, Steeda 62mm Throttle Body Spacer, Steeda Charge Motion Delete Plates, Accel Ignition Coils, Summit Racing Off Road H Pipe, MBRP Muffler Deletes and SCT4 custom tune along with Racing Synthetics and Racing Coolant for lubrication and lower engine temps. The car is making 372hp at the crank. I managed 12.9 seconds @ 110mph at the track, 0 to 60mph in 4.5 seconds and 0 to 100mph in 10.9 seconds. I do have Falken Azenis RT615K+ Tires, too.
Wow what a great informative video, really enjoyed it. It's a great step by step how to make power n.a. to the next steps to a supercharger. Your knowledge is amazing, thank you for your videos Brent.
I have never seen you tune a turbo 3v, And I’ve been watching you for years also ordering cold plugs for my turbo 3v and plug and play booster pump connector
Here is a link of one. Honestly not a big fan. Way, and I mean way back in the day I used to almost only do Hellion Turbo's on 3V's. So many down the road had issues (not just that brand) but all in general with turbo seals leaking I pretty much got away from them in general. Race cars yes, street cars.... big fan of TVS/Twin screw style or Centrifugal. So much more reliable for daily drivers which is 99% of the time what we build. Thanks! Here is a link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r1m1FVjEzqw.html
@@BrenspeedEngineering always. Are those headers(shortys on the website) ok to put on my 07 Explorer Sport Trac V8. Been looking and tryna learn the difference between the Mustang & Explorer(Sport trac)4.6L 3V.
This is one of the best videos i have ever watched. Its so good that I actually subscribed to the channel. Its only the 2nd channel i have every subscribed to. Very well done and very much appreciated. I will be throwing some money your way soon :)
Sir, GREAT video. I've been licking my chops searching for my first Mustang. Never wanted to consider a 3 valve until this. STILL want a coyote but this is a great consideration considering 3 valves are selling for $10k less
Important to know the FRM and 62mm throttle body will not live up to their full potential unless you procharge with either cam or turbo. In fact you will lose low end torque and only gain subtle Hp at high rpm.
Ordered my 3v HO Paxton from Doug on Wednesday and it was sitting on my porch on Friday. Couldn't believe it!! Great buying experience. Between these videos and talking with Doug at length before ordering I feel like I am going to be very happy going this route. Thanks brenspeed!
Awesome choice. That is a bad ass supercharger and yes we have attempted to build up supercharger inventory pretty heavy. We have a lot in stock. Not everything because with all the choices of polished, satin, black, different years etc... it is hard to predict what someone will want but we have a lot in here right now. THANKS
Great video, one of your best! I have all the other n/a mods done to my car: TB & spacer, underdrive pulleys, CAI, shorties and 3 Brenspeed tunes. Would love to come do a dyno pull with a “before” and then switch from shorties to long tubes, add my racing intake and a set of your Detroit rockers for the “after” pull.
Great video! If I didn't know better, I'd say the guy at Crane and you are the same person for the info given. I'm kinda thinking he watched your video and is suggesting the exact things to people. I was going to purchase thumpr cams next but he talked me into Detroit rockers. I installed 4.10s last month. Now my car won't shift correctly and feels like it lost lower. FMS said the computer can't keep up with the info from the new gears. I am now looking at a programmer but don't want to spend a ton just to change the axle ratio, especially when other things will need tuned and I lose the tune when retuned. If that makes sense, lol. I bought forscan but have no references for what all the codes mean so haven't been able to change anything but turning the traction control light off which seems to be the most common thing people post for forscan. I'll be doing other mods in the next year and wanted to order a programmer to do them all. But after talking with Crane, it seems I may have to just take it to a dyno shop. It's just that I'm not doing everything at once and need to drive the car as a daily. 2007 GT/CS.
Loved the video. I’ve done all of these minus the pulleys(Roush CAI, ford intake and TB, kooks, and the rockers). Made 353 on the dyno. Can’t wait to buy a blower within the next week or two.
I wish this video existed about a month ago before I crashed my three valve. I had jlt series three cold air intake, Ford performance 62 mm throttlebody, 91 octane Bama tune, pypes catted h pipe and slp loudmouth muffler deletes. I loved my 3v😭
@@robertswift6101 rear ended someone and car was totaled. I upgraded to a 13 5.0, but I do miss my 3 valve. Nothing compares to the sound that 4.6 motor makes.
Price would have been nice. Ball park. My 05, engine limit for power was 550hp. That was a safe limit I was told. What happened to Kenney Bell twin screw super charger . I had a german made twin screw blower . Back then it was about $6000 not including install and tune. In 05 total $10,000 thats everything. It was a monster.
Couple things. You are commenting on a 6 month old video. The price then, and the price now is different. The description has links to the parts for current today pricing that is why we do not say them in a video. Somebody watching at a later time gets false info as prices always changes just like when you go in the grocery and every single item is way more than 6 months ago. Good news is you can just open the description and see the links or go to www.brenspeed.com and see the current today pricing. Thanks for watchin and commenting!
Awesome thank you! Our site will not process international orders. Simply email sales@brenspeed.com tell them what you want and give them your address and they can quote your parts. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video. Love this channel. The S197 is my fav style. That’s my V6 in my profile pic. Someday I want to do a v8 swap. The all black premium package cars are hard to find where I am so I’m hanging on to mine. I added an intake, shorty headers, dual exhaust with x pipe. Thanks
Love your videos and appreciate your sharing your experience. I’m currently building a 3V that is going in my Ford Fusion. It’ll be NA, so I’m using a bunch of stuff you don’t mention (pistons and rods, highpo oil pump, etc.). Oh, and I’m throwing out the camshafts and using pneumatic valve actuation (that’s actually why i went 3 valve).
@@BrenspeedEngineering Thank you. The scanning dots come in today, and I have an appointment to use a 3D scanner on the heads Sunday. From there it’s into CAD to figure out exactly how much of the top of the head it’s safe to shave off to make room for the pneumatic actuators. I’ll probably spend a few weeks on that (measure 800 times, cut once).
Gotta say I don't understand people who put in cams for sound. If you aren't putting in cams for power you're wasting your money. Great advice on cam selection of blower cam v NA cam too, btw. Richard Holdener and Engine Masters have proven over and over that any good cam is a good blower cam.
For the same reason people buy chin spoilers, wings, mufflers, anything that does not add power. They like the way it looks or sounds. In this case though, you are getting power and sound and yes some people just do it for the classic muscle car sound because they enjoy that. Thanks for watching!
Good video for getting started on a 3V but for newbies would have been good to do a dyno run with these installed and show what kind of power increase they get you
You might like this link. Now keep in mind this video link is about 10 years old but it does some of these mods over a 3 part build. If you watch to the end it gives a link to the next video. I think there are 3 in the series. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8UXrqs8drkc.html
Youve inspired me, brother! I've already bought the Ford Racing manifold and I bought the BBK throttle body. Ive got a SCT X4 and Roush CAI. You have sold me on getting the pipes headers and your custom grind cams. I would like to know about getting a tune from you guys as well. Thanks for this video!
I'm really looking forward being up there in a week and half for my install. I gotta tell ya, this video is what really convinced me to get all of those parts!
@@BrenspeedEngineering your channel is awesome! Hopefully I can find a 3 valve sooner than later! We drive from Omaha, NE to Detroit, MI several times a year. We’ll have to make a detour and stop the shop this next year.
Only thing missing is dyno overlays showing what the parts do. Richard Holdener style! And what does this mean for 1/4 mile times? I know, many variables right...
I just got a reference to check out your channel by a race car driver who you you probably don't know. He spoke highly about you and Mustangs. I am in Michigan I have a 2016 Mustang GT premium. I would love to have it up to close to 600 horsepower.
Imma have to see proof of that 10hp bump from UDPs. I removed the belt completely from my 2V, made sure i didnt over heat the motor and only saw a 7whp gain.10hp from 25% reduction doesnt sound right when i saw kess hp from not spinning accessories at all
This video is on 3V mustangs, not 2V, but thanks for watching!!! Also realize you can do 3 pulls in a row on a NA car and not change anything and 8-14 HP difference just because of temps and fluids thinning out. Thanks for the comment!
@@BrenspeedEngineering I can't imagine newer accessories are less efficient than older ones. That was 7whp across a 3 run average at the same coolant temps. The HP delta from highest to lowest was under 3whp between runs. So again, 7whp from not spinning them, you're telling me spinning accessories 25% slower yields more power than not spinning them at all? So how much power can be expected from not spinning them in the 3V? 30whp? Makes no sense.
Can't wait, I have airaid CAI, pypes LTH, exhaust. Tuner. Might have you rebuild my motor...put hot rod cams in already with catless x pipe magnaflow axlebacks.
How does it run if you have any times like 60-130’s, I have an air raid intake and was thinking of going a similar route but going with rockers cams what do you think?
Saw another video where the Dyno numbers were better with stock manifold throught the entire curve. They had at least 3 different sets of Dyno numbers. Reason is the butterflies cause air turbulence causing a better air fuel mix. He had the new FR intake, but put oem back on because of it. Just what I saw recently.
We have done that same testing on full bolt on cars and not seen that. Here is one stock vs all mods but if you search around our videos there are one or two doing just the intake on full bolt on cars. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aem7owz4V2E.html
Thank you! This is some great information!! I am buying everything you mentioned in this video less the pulleys.. But I am getting the blue valve covers in addition to the rest. I already have the sfx tuner with a CAI and 93 tune on it. If I buy all these mods from you would you update the tune video a email or is there an option xtra cost? Thanks again your videos are great. Bill H
If you mean SCT tuner that is what we support. We can make the tunes for all the parts we sell and via mail order so you can just load it on. The mail order tunes are pretty dead on we have done them so many times with all the different mods. Check out www.brenspeed.com if you already have an SCT tuner you can just get the email tune.
Question for you on the drivetrain. On my 2007 Roush, I'm wanting to replace the two-piece drive shaft with the ford performance one-piece as shown in your video. The main reason for me is to eliminate the clunking noise/backlash in the rear end. My question is how much is too much backlash? When taking off in first or shifting into second at low rpm if I don't time my acceleration just right I get some clunking noise. Is this normal? I plan on changing the fluid as well although the car only has 23k miles. Thanks in advance. Great video
Could just be the two piece clunking. You won't know until you get a one piece shaft. The FRPP one is a good piece. We normally stock them and use them a lot. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I live just up the road in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (CANADA), but may venture down to the shop next summer to get some work done on my 08 GT/CS or 07 Roush 427. TWO QUESTIONS: 1) Our fuel is a bit pricier here so I'm wondering if the larger cold air intake and a tune would give more HP, torque, throttle response and still lead to better fuel economy (assuming I don't mash the throttle more to hear the improved sound) or should I stick with a smaller Roush or K&N if I need to consider fuel economy? 2) I currently have a flowmaster cat-back exhaust on it. If I got a cold air and tune a) could the tune factor in both the intake and exhaust, and b) if I were to add high flow cats, long tubes, intake manifold, cams, etc later on do I pay for each incremental tune I get from you or are tunes provided free once the tuner is purchased from you?
Several things. No tunes are free in the future but we do not charge full price. We charge a fraction of the price for new mods then email the tune. We have a link in our tuner section that will show you revision pricing. We do tune for CA 91 we are familiar with that. Yes a better CAI and tune adds power but we can tune for your octane so that is a good thing. Also we do not advertise or claim MPG up or down. Clients do report often an increase in MPG as well as decrease if they drive the car hard. Typically it is not a huge difference either way but everybody drives different......
@@BrenspeedEngineering Thank you for the reply and additional information. Sounds like I'd be best off determining how far I want to go with mods, doing them all at once and getting the tune at that time rather than incrementally. Also good (for others) to know you tune for 91 octane as well, but I buy my fuel in the USA since I live on a border town and my gf is American. I'm gathering most of your clientele are running 92 and oriented for pure performance, rather than running 87 and orineted for best bang for buck performance. Will the larger diameter CAI NEED a tune or will there be benefits leaving it untuned like with a smaller diameter K&N, ROush, etc?
I did learn something about imrc delete. i guess undrive pulleys are new lol. i do realize some engines respond differently to this but are usually engineered into this
Love this content, my only question would be what do you recommend for rotating assemblies? Like if I wanted to stay NA. Would a high revving and high compression build be worth it?
We use Manley for rotating assemblies. I would contact them to see if you can get high compression pistons. We have not done that NA as everybody wants the built engine for supercharged applications and normally stay around 9.8 compression on pump gas. As far as worth it I would say higher compression NA is going to get you more power for sure but just not sure how much.
I just bought a SCT x4 tuner and bbk long tubes ,bbk catted xpipe,and a magnaflow catback. I just don’t know if I will need a tune or not when I run headers or if it’s okay to run headers on the stock air box and your channel has been very helpful because I’ve had my 3v for a couple of years now that I’m 16 I was able to get a job to mod my 3v so I’m a little bit lost on how things are supposed to go
You can install the long tubes without a header tune. You will likely get a CEL code for transport delay bank 1 and 2 so you will have to see a check engine light every time you drive. This can be adjusted in the tune. The code itself will not cause the car to run bad it will just be annoying. Then later when you save up some cash you can get a tune for the mods you have at that time.
Thanks Brent, great video with tons of useful information! I have 2009 Mustang GT automatic, i bought it already LPG-converted. It's totally stock and i'm thinking about buying Your tuner+CAI combo. Did You had any experience with LPG-converted 3Vs? I would like to continue to drive it on LPG after Your tune, because it's way cheaper in the place i live (Ukraine). Thanks!
