    basic quetion,just want a few opinions before i proceed on modding my car.Basically im still confused on which route i wanna take,top swap or build the gt.My biggest concern is getting my car tuned if i top swap it because its my DD,but goal wise im just looking to have a high to mid 13sec car(basically i need some last minute convincing on getting top swapped lol)

    you arent gonna do 13's with a bolt on GT. Do the top swap.

    for a custom tune or a canned tune? If canned go DHP... If custom I have no idea for your area, I do not know anyone on the east coast. Maybe someone like BillBoost can recommend someone, or start a new thread looking for a tuner on the east coast. I am not sure how far you are willing to travel for the tune either.

    Only issue is DHP just does tunes for regular stuff...no top swaps or turbos or crazy cam setups, etc...
