Thread: 04 gtp looking to up the horse power and mileage, but keep reliable and cheap??

I have an 04 gtp, I am wondering what i can do to it that is cheap and easy to get some more power and mileage out of it. I dont want to have issues down the road from doing anything to it though. I sthere some stuff out there??

OMG some of you dont understand easy and cheap do ya. Ya i thought about intake, dont really wanna run a diff pulley cause then im pushin more air through and have a posibility of blowin intake gasket or somethin like that. Ne other ideas would be great.

I am very mechanically enclined can do alot myself or with the help of dad who is a mechanic and the neighbor. and as cheap as possible, but still a good product. How about just a k/n filter would that help, i have had many k/n filters, and cold air intakes before just not sure if they do anything.

If you don't drive the car for the winter, P&P your own heads is a great mod. Pretty cheap, and still reliable.

Intakes are a waste of time.

Ya i had an 03 gtp with a cold air system on it, and it sounded awesome, and seemed like it had a quite a bit more power. I do drive it in the winter, but not much i try to keep it out of the salt as much as possible. I have to take it in on monday i have been havin a prob with #3 missing alot! Not sure what it is have had many diff ideas thrown my way, but hopefully its not what some are thinkin a hole in the piston, or ne thing internal hopefully!! So after that i will have to see what i can do. Might be puttin in diff engine if piston is bad or lifter,1,400 just to take heads off for labor only!! Can get a engine new refurbished for 2,000.

Or they could charge you .5 to stick an inspection camera in the spark plug holes.

ok well i'm thinkin im just gonna put a good filter in it for now and see what else i can do for cheap later on. dont really wannna do ne thing with the supercharger dont wanna mess with the big dollar big wrecking ball things i have bad luck so like i said wanna keep it cheap and still keep the power house reliable..

Yep

this car is my daily driver for work. Just lookin to get alittle more playin power out of it not racing, and if possible a little better mileage.

Nitrous is very safe if its done properly. All those that blew up their motors (back in the 60s and 70s) paved the way. You spray Nitrous and fuel together. I had a progressive kit on my supercharged Saleen Mustang. Now that was fun!!! You get great gas mileage all the time.

Then when you want to race and have a little fun, flip a switch.
