I have a 1998 GT. So far I have had a shift kit installed, 4.10 gears, headers, h-pipes and flows as well as a upgraded converter and am in the process of installing a cold air intake. Do you have any suggestions for the next mod I should make.

Boomer · July 23rd, 2007, 11:11 AM

Suspension upgrades, Sfc's or even a PI intake and cam swap.....

oannamarie · July 23rd, 2007, 11:16 AM

Can you elaborate on what an SFC is?

Boomer · July 23rd, 2007, 11:19 AM

Sub frame connectors !!! They improve ride quality and stability a ton...

Depending on how much money you want to spend, I would go with either a cam, intake swap, or you could go with a 70-75mm throttle body and upper intake plenum. You could always benefit from breathing more air if you have a full exhaust.

PI heads and intake will net a good increase in horsepower. or you could just go with a nitrous kit. oh and underdrive pulleys

i pretty much agree with everything, even the order, except u should go ahead and get some aftermarket cams instead of pi......it'll be the diference between 230rwhp and 260 rwhp.

oannamarie · July 26th, 2007, 04:16 PM

Thanks. Im thinking about doing the intake and heads nest. By the way can you guys recommend a good oil to use. I am getting ready to change the oil. I have heard synthetic is best.

G.T. Rags · July 26th, 2007, 04:18 PM

i use castral syntec blend 10w 30. Haven't had any problems, and it even helped with an oil consumption problem.

i have heard from many people that royal purple is the best thats what is in mine...

ZoomZoomMFer · July 26th, 2007, 09:54 PM

G.T. Rags · July 26th, 2007, 10:25 PM

ur right........i concede

ZoomZoomMFer · July 26th, 2007, 11:30 PM

but its good stuff so i spend the extra money and get the GOOD stuff

MustangMatt96GT · July 27th, 2007, 12:40 AM

Yeah I just did a Royal Purple oil change and love the stuff. Also you dont have to change anything but the filter every 3000 with that stuff and more like every8-9000 the actuall oil!

Fryrice · July 27th, 2007, 12:55 AM

With those gears,I would seriously step up to aftermarket cams if your gonna do a PI swap.

MustangMatt96GT · July 27th, 2007, 01:01 AM

I also recommend to do aftermarket cams! I am going to do it correctly the first time and do the aftermarket cams as well!

When you do your swap ,lemme know I owe ya one.

MustangMatt96GT · July 27th, 2007, 01:16 AM

Well it will be awhile considering I just saved enough money to put 450 in the bank and 450 to pay my dad for the heads intake cams blah blah. anyway I am trying to sell my BBK shorties, because with the porting and polishing I am going to get done I need longtubes to get decent gains. I will also probably be going with a cam in the link below with crower titanium retainers and springs. I will be getting some great porting and polishing work done by somebody that knows his stuff for 450 and then I will need gaskets and everything else. Being 16 with a 7 dollar an hour job kinda sucks when all I want to do build a kick ass motor! I am looking for the 300 mark! Oh and then I have a dyno tune!

And all the money I spend on this swap has to be matched in the bank! I have a ways to go! lol Ill be definatly asking for help though!

Cam

Cam

$7 an hour is great when you dont have a mortgage and all that shit like me,lol. With the right cams and bolt ons,you can get 300 without headwork.
