How much HP can we expect to see Normally Aspirated in our V6’s? Including mods such as a tune, exhaust, headers, CAI, CF Driveshaft, and running 93 octane? I’m curious as these are the mods lm thinking of doing on my 15 V6

As someone that did that stuff already, just save the money for boost. I got the gears, CAI, ported intakes, headers, full exhaust (including meow delete), 93 tune and while it is faster, it's not a crazy difference and the money would have been better spent on either a turbo kit or even a Procharger. Those would get you 400-450 rwhp ezpz instead of maybe 290-300 rwhp NA.

Hey man, I did that exact same stuff with my last Mustang which was a 2016 V6!

I had shorty headers, 93 octane dyno tune, cat back exhaust, billet torque converter, and a high flow filter. I actually dynode my car and it made 265 hp and 280 tq. These V6s are already pretty maxed out NA and the money you would spend on mods, looking back I would save for a procharger. The engines will not make 290-300 rwhp NA, unless you go e85. The people that do have 290 rwhp are using a dynojet, which read high.

But, after tuning it and all the mods the car was a BLAST to drive. It had so much more torque that stock so off the line it really threw you back. I got my dyno tune for $600 so for me it was worth it :)
