Definitely not where I live but if you could do it yourself, you're set.

If not, I'd lower it and get a nice exhaust setup and maybe a tune. It's all where you want to start.

I'm a big fan of starting from the ground up... one topic I've never read about on this forum is brakes. Puttin additional hp into an engine is scary if you can't stop the thing you know. I'm just starting with my 96 as you are and I'm doin' suspension, brakes/tire upgrades, or maybe start with the rear end and go with 3.73s or 4.10s.

^^^ IMO ^^^

I agree our 13/12" rotors and equally good calipers kick ass - but he's got a gt and gt's are in need of help in the stopping department IMO

97Cobra · November 11th, 2006, 01:11 AM

Yeah they are if they get high HP n TQ that is. but if hes just gonna get gears and a PIs he shouldnt need the Better set up.

bigmike83 · November 11th, 2006, 01:13 AM

look i got my motor used out of a wreckec 04 vert, it was 1100 dollars, keep all your factory things,fuel injectors,ignition,fuel system,power steering, then get a chip, but take your time and look i took my time and got a motor for 1100 that only had 24000 miles on it. just wish now i would have got the trans too,

5.0 is not in the 96...94-95 are the only SN95 that came factory 5.0's...

He has a NPI 4.6

A PI Swap and Cams would be a great addition...

96GT_Driver · November 11th, 2006, 12:23 PM

i was gonna say if he has the 5.0 in his 96....wheres mine? lol

97Cobra · November 11th, 2006, 12:34 PM

lol oh i thought he had a 94 looking for some mods.....lol brain fart

purplepony96 · November 11th, 2006, 01:28 PM

well i was thinking about going with some headers and an slp exaust and mayby a upper throttle body

C MY 4D · November 11th, 2006, 04:34 PM

go 70 mm on the throttle body, no need for a 75mm. have fun on those headers........

ChrisJ · November 12th, 2006, 01:22 AM

Yeah the headers are a project...lol

Like C MY 4D said go with a 70mm for a N/A set-up...

96GT_Driver · November 12th, 2006, 03:27 AM
