Hey guys, new member here.
Picking up my GTP come next week. I actually got a pretty badass deal on it. Asking $7000 for a fully loaded 04 comp g with 69,000 orig miles. still working out the price but I should get it cheaper than that. As of now its completly stock but I'd like to have some fun with it. Sold my SVT focus for it. Still iffy about that decision (6spd + awesome suspesion VS boosted automatic sedan) but we'll see! This will be my DD.
I have a Highly modified mid 12sec mustang. She's kind of a jack-stand queen, but a beast while actually on the roadSo Im not new to the car scene by any means and I am mechanically inclinded. This is my first time working with a root style SC albeit, but I'll learn fast.
I Guess my goal for the GTP would be a 13.7-14.2 DD. 13s would be better, but I'll see what you guys think.. Something that is fun to drive yet hasnt lost drivability.
Ive done plenty of reading and am trying not to make an unecessary post, but would like some clarification to ease my mind. Here is what I've planned, in order.
-180 tstat
-K&N drop in
-Ill probably take off the Manifold and port/de-bur it myself
-Autolite 104s
-headers
-Pulley swap. 3.4 or 3.6? boost differences? will a different tensenior pulley be necessary for both?
-Tune. --The guy that dyno tunes my mustang will tune the GTP, but its damn expensive.. $500+/hour. (Hes the ****in' man) or a downloadable tune. Is there really a difference with light mods like this or would a dyno tune just be overkill?
What kind of gains/times are expected from a light setup like this? thanks in advance! sorry for the novel, im just damn excited to get started haha!!![]()
