    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

    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.

    I agree with Bio, I mean you can do many of the things bluegtp said to do, to start off with but if its nothing more than slapping on the pulleys, heads, and charger, yes yes, the lil things too, injectors, ECU etc etc etc. I would say start with some of the things blue suggested that won't need to be changed again after a blower is installed. After all, the blower, being a stock option is the easiest forced induction mod.

    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

    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

    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.

    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?
