MMR Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Other than the obvious; Fully build engine with lighter internals, Turbo / Supercharger or NAAAWZ! ..What can make an engine rev faster? ..especially with an auto transmission. ...I don't know about you V8 guys, but my V6 is one slow reving turd, almost feels like trying to get a N/A diesel engine up to speed..

Det_Riot Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 aside from tearing the motor apart, in a manual I've heard if you go with an aluminum driveshaft and flywheel it'll reduce the rotational load but idk about on an auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess gears and UPDs are some of the only mods worth doing if you don't go all in on these V6 autos- - - Updated - - -Exhaust and intake did very little, CAI is not worth it IMO, better off just getting a drop in filter and remove the silencer tube. A tune made the whole car alot more responsive and overall better to drive, helped alittle on power as well, but nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMR Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I am talking about a V6 auto in terms of reving faster, just to be clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 throttle body will help with responsiveness too. doing an aluminum driveshaft will also help an auto, just probably not as much as a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMR Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 But isn't the aluminum driveshaft only made for the manuals? ...I say "the aluminum driveshaft" because I can only find one from FRPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 You could remove the rear end so it just free spins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolocut Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 You could put 456 gears in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 nope.http://www.americanmuscle.com/frp-7995-28spline50l-aludriveshaft.htmlTechnical Note. This driveshaft will also fit 1996-2004 Automatic Transmission V6 Mustangs if the factory yoke is removed and reused. The yoke is located on the end of the driveshaft attaching it to the transmission with two spring clips and a pressure fitting. Special tools maybe required for removal.

MMR Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 nope.http://www.americanmuscle.com/frp-7995-28spline50l-aludriveshaft.htmlI wonder how much difference it actually does on an auto, I could imagine that it would have to work together with gears to really make a difference.

Rolocut Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if a gear change and drive shaft to make a good difference. My brothers 2011 5.0 had a 2 piece and we put a 1 piece aluminum one in and it gained literally a tenth at the track in a 6 speed car. You know the rule on rotating mass. 1 lb rotating mass is equal to 4 lbs. so if you save 9 lbs off driveshaft it's like removing 36lbs, then gears for sure will make a car quicker but less top end and drivability on highway depending on the gear you choose. This rotating mass rule is why racers gun drill axles and have extra light rear wheels and tires for maximum performance Just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
