    i just got my 98 GTp well it was a gt but the guy swapped eveything for a gtp one( and it has a factory sunroof) its got 90k on it and i spent 4300 on it

    i was wanting to add more power but wanted to do it right so i wouldnt have to back trak later

    so far my Plan is to:

    get new headers
    get new cat and cat back exaust
    new thermo 180 or 160 im not sure
    autolite 104 prolly
    msd wires
    msd coils
    a new throttle boddy
    either a K&N or as ive read just make my own FAI
    and then get a 3.4 pully
    and a new PCm ( im lookin at a over kill right now)

    any suggestions of brands or other steps will help alot
    this is my first car that ive wanted to tune cause ppl dont expect it at all which makes it so much better

    so far my Plan is to:

    get new headers yes
    get new cat and cat back exaust just the cat, catback is a waste of money, it already flows fine
    new thermo 180 or 160 im not sure 180.
    autolite 104 prolly good
    msd wires your call, but you dont need them
    msd coils stocks work prefectly fine, save your money
    a new throttle boddy Why????
    either a K&N or as ive read just make my own FAI open cone or HAI
    and then get a 3.4 pully good
    and a new PCm ( im lookin at a over kill right now) good

    any suggestions of brands or other steps will help alot

    your gunna want a two or three gauges too. I would get a oil pressure gauge and areo force gauge. Only thing the sucks is that the areo force gauge is kinda spendy, but they help out so much in the long run.

    there tell you many things about the car as it is running, like rpms, temps, KR and other stuff like that.

    i check on the areo force gauge and it looks badass my car dosent have a boost guage but this could show that right so just a oil pressure guage and this one that does everything right
