Thread: What should my next Mod be?

Ok right now, under the hood, my car is completely stock aside from a CAI. I wanted to gain some more horsepower/performance so what should be my next step? Any opinions/ advice is welcome

Do these

3" Downpipe (Cat or No Cat up to you)
U-Bend Delete
180*/160* T-Stat
PRJ/MSD Wires
Autolite 606's or NGK TR55's
PCM (DHP, Overkill, Intense, or a Custom Tune)
Green Bastard Products Ported Throttle Body/Lower Intake Manifold
HV3 Upper Insert
High Ratio Roller Rockers (1.84's can be used with the stock valve springs)

Any order...it would make your GT Pretty quick

headers or a cam, but i dont know what you want to do with the car. it is almost a waste to spend money on a GT. just top swap it or save for a turbo.

You would have to dump the TB, LIM, and HV3 if you go the blown route though...not saying anything bad on the guy but a top swap isn't the cheapest thing and easy bolt-on mods like the ones I said would make for a fun N/A car...

THEN...get a turbo...nuff said

I have the perfect mod for you. Buy my overkill pcm for $100 plus shipping

top swap... or turbo that thing... i would say turbo

High compression is ideal for s/c. Low compression is ideal for turbo. You should definitely buy my pcm. It will wake the car up alot!

hmm seems like you are really trying to get rid of your PCM lol. Why? if it is so great What will an overkill PCM really do for me? Oh and BlueGTP thanx for the suggestions about how much will some of those things run me aside from the PCM.. I am not trying to make my car fastest car on the road or faster than a modded GTP for that matter.. but i just wanna have a little fun and make the car more respectable performance wise

look into the SS M90 kit from ZZP

I wouldn't get rid of my pcm, if i wasn't going top swap...Its a hole new ball game with a top swap, I need hptuners now, Im only eager to sell my parts, so i can get my s.c on and tuned!!...You see my 1/4 mile time and trap speed. Look at the mods. Stock form these n/a motors are 16 second cars. Im just trying to make a suggestion since you were thinking about buying one. Anyone here will agree that an overkill pcm is the way to go. If you buy from me, you are saving a ton of money, and i don't slap you with a core charge. More details are in my f/s thread.

Oh i c, I had no idea you were doing a tap swap lol. Good luck with that! Is the new pcm hard to install at all? Is it tuned for other mods or how is it tuned?

Thanks man. Its just a basic reflash, it is tuned for a $5.00 t-stat, its nothing custom. If you add intake, and u-bend delete, it only helps. A new pcm is quite simple to do, u just un-plug battery, and undo the bolts on the 2 clips, put pcm in place, put plastic connectors on new pcm, plug battery in, let it sit, and then start car done. Everyone who swaps pcm should get a "case learn" with a tech2.

and where can i get a relearn done at?

sry i said re-learn, i meant to say "case learn", anyone with a techII can perform this, it takes 5 minutes to do.

What is a "case learn" I never heard of that before. Is that the only tweaking I would have to do on my 02 even though yours is a 99?
