riddlee josh · January 9th, 2008, 11:12 PM

yea and trust me i know it's hard to put alot of money in a car but if you want it fast then make sure it is reliable. you don't want cheap.

Cnewcomer · January 9th, 2008, 11:27 PM

i meant like to get me started im not going to spend all my deployment money on my car im not going to go out and blow it all on a turbo or sum thing like that ya know

Averlus · January 9th, 2008, 11:29 PM

Nah, just do intake, exhaust, and tuner to start off.

riddlee josh · January 9th, 2008, 11:32 PM

yea i totally understand but trust me it's better to save up and get what you want and get the good stuff than get the cheap things.

but i totally understand what you mean. if i were you i would get true duals. maybe gt takeoffs or something. and an h pipe and depending on your taste in sound a new muffler. that will def give you some horses (not much but some) and will greatly improve your performance

and also if you want some long tube headers, they greatly help the sound.

uhh, sale your k&N filter buy a cheap ebay intake (same gains I promise) spend 170 bucks left over on some underdrive pulleys, then spend about 400 on a good tuner, and another 400 on a nice custom exhaust setup, then about 600 to have gears and a LSD installed and you'll have a pretty quick little pony.

DarkSidejoker · January 10th, 2008, 12:03 AM

whats a tuner do? im new to all of this

Cnewcomer · January 10th, 2008, 12:14 AM

wat about a new ignition setup and any exterior look ideas i have been looking for a duck tail spoiler but cant find one

wannabeimportkiller · January 10th, 2008, 12:17 AM

A tuner can reprogram your computer, set Air to fuel ratios, just all kinds of things, you can get a tuner that has programs you have to buy which are already preset, or you can buy say a sniper tuner, and tune it yourself

Stang6899 · January 10th, 2008, 12:32 AM

Can you give me a number amount that you're tryin to spend?

wannabeimportkiller · January 10th, 2008, 12:37 AM

yeh that helps, like the old phrase horses arent cheap

wannabeimportkiller · January 10th, 2008, 12:38 AM

you could really spend about 2 grand and only get like an extra 150 hp out of your engine

tsp_2177 · January 10th, 2008, 12:41 AM

150hp is a lot outta 2 grand... just thought i'd throw that in there.
and i doubt you could even throw 2 grand in a gt and get 150hp
maybe a 5.0l but that'd be the closest thing

whitemustang02 · January 10th, 2008, 01:12 AM

ya im looking at seonding betwean 3000 - 4000 and if im realy lucky get maby 100 more but that is only if im realy lucky

Stang6899 · January 10th, 2008, 01:23 AM

For 3-4k you could buy a used supercharger kit and some other goodies and get more than 100hp
