You should really try and search around in the 2.5 Performance section first before posting in this Tuning section...

But an aftermarket inatke usually helps as the stock airbox is pretty restrictive... gutting the precats helps, and a free flowing exhaust, too.

Overall, SVT cams, 3L motor swap, better clutch (if you have a MTX), headers, and a GOOD TUNE will make the car much faster...

Nitrous is a quick boost for less money, but the power is only there when you push the button...

Hope this helps, but please do search around before asking a general question that most likely has been asked thousands of times here, or you will get more Remarks like the first one from Bobbo!!

Re: whats the easiet way make ur 00 v6 cougar faster thats cheap?

what he said

You can always move the IMRC for reliable power, install the ebay intake and pair it with a better filter (although the one it comes with is still a good improvement over stock) chop the rear muffler and pipe it out, it actually sounds good... and gut the precats. All for about 100 dollars! Basically, a fair boost in power, and after that, $$$


Oh yeah, and I would change your interests... I went to your profile looking for a cardomain or something, and let me just say that this isn't hondacivicforums, and that some people will eat you for dinner because of one of your interests

Have a nice day

cheapest way to make it faster is not to turn your a/c on. no modding required

a superchip will advance your spark and fuel but you will need to run premium gas.
