what are some cheap mods physical or mechanical

**rynoman03** · 01-13-2010

For a NA car first thing I would go for is a HV3, Intake, and a 3" Downpipe.

I know you said cheap but this thing can be had used if you look around and it really has a good amount of gains.

Cheap? Make an intake...get the U-Bend deleted...put in a 180* T-Stat and get the car tuned. Flip the motor mounts too. BAH! Cheap...like $200.

**racecardude310** · 01-13-2010

with an HV3, intake, and 3" dp, will replacing the stock TB with a northstar or LS1 make ANY difference?

**blueguy** · 01-13-2010

He said cheap. Plus...you don't even upgrade TB's on L67 cars until a cam/headers/IC or rockers...no one puts on bigger TB's on N/A cars...its a waste of money.

**racecardude310** · 01-13-2010

I was asking because I happen to have an LS1 TB from a car i parted out, I also own a northstar, so I'd jsut do a circle swap on them lol. I was seeing if it was a waste of time to slap it on there. I figured as much.

go to an exhaust shop and ask them to cut out your u-bend and replace it with a piece of straight pipe and an o2 bung. unless theyre rapists, that wont cost more then $20-30. then make an intake, i made mine for under $40...

I'm well aware, but saving until you can afford it is the more worth-while way to go.

**racecardude310** · 01-14-2010

save what? the TB?

**matt5112** · 01-14-2010

Nah, your money.

If i were you and just looking for some extra mileage and a little more kick, do what blue said.

If you wanted to add a real kick, say 40-50 extra horse, look into a top swap and start saving.

you can find top swaps for fairly cheap too theres one in the for sale section right now for like $200 i dont know if thats with or without heads though

**blueguy** · 01-14-2010

It is Clint's.

Not sure if he sold it or not...but you can send $35 of it to me

if i were you i would do the dp and cai first then plog hv3 and a tune that should get you just as fast or a little faster then a stock gtp

**matt5112** · 01-15-2010

How do those mods get you 40 HP?

If you factor in gearing, sure the GT will run it in first gear, after that, BUH-BYE.

**Jesse1** · 01-15-2010

matt lol u epic failed but with a computer replacement you would beat stock gtp's no problem along with cai hv3 and exhaust but in all honesty the hv3 makes it worth your while with it alone lol.

**blueguy** · 01-16-2010

^^BWAHAHA.

No. Your bolt ons GT doesn't do mid to high 14's...sorry.
