Don't quit on the 3V! Andrew's 2009 Mustang GT/CS dyno proves that these cars are still fun!
With the redesigned S197 Mustang body style in 2005, the new, retro look revived the Mustang from the tried and true New Edge era. Coming off the heels of a 2 year run of the infamous 03-04 Cobra and 8 years of the old reliable 2V, Ford knew they had to come with it to keep Mustang owner's excited. Enter, the glorious 3V.
The 3-valve 4.6 engine was an updated, more powerful 4.6L engine that immediately put bolt-on 2Vs to shame at the drag strip. With a few mods, these cars saw close to 300 horsepower at the wheels, inching them closer to their rated horsepower from the factory. With popular mods such as hot-rod cams and Ford Racing intake manifolds, these cars pushed well over the 300 mark, as seen in Andrew's dyno run.
