    Ive read the "how to safely mod sticky" and ive looked at performance packages on zzp and 3800 performance. Im wondering what kind of gains i can expect from doing mods. Hp numbers, 1/4 times, 0-60

    say 3.4 with headers+exhaust, 3" downpipe, cai, tune = ? hp, mid 13's, 0-60 of about 5.5 im guessing?

    i just want to get an idea because im not about to drop 800$ and gain 30hp and run 14's

    ive used the search but terms are either to general or too specific to find anything

    i was just going to flip my car after i fixed it, but i decided to keep it instead

    1997 Black on Black gtp, 88k, 2600$ ---YUP
    ive done plugs, wires, oil change, thermostat, coolant flush, coolant elbow, valve cover gaskets, pcv, cleaned my iac, cleaned my maf, cleaned my throttle body, new coupler, new brakes all the way around (140$ pads and rotors)

    ive got an exhaust leak, or the previous owner gutted the cat, cause its quite loud from the cat area, so id like to get headers, dp, and u bend delete (also cat delete depending on if its gutted or not) out of the way IF im going to mod

    it all depends on the gain

    everyone around here has mustangs with boltons mostly high 12's low 13's

    i dont race much, but... you know... its a gtp

    I would stay away from the package deals
    ANd have heard a lot of bad things about the zzp programmed pcm's

    DHP is your best bet for pcm through 3800performance

    WIth a propperly setup 3.4 you can run into the 13's alot of it is in the tune

    ssac's are gonna be your best bet for headers
    Look in the for sale section people are always demodding and selling performance parts

    You should be able to do a good 3.4 set up for under what your looking to spend on a package

    if youre like 75% of the people on here then youll barely run 13s on a 3.4 setup if that because you cant drive.

    a good 3.4in setup WITH a proper tune, is gonna give you more than 30 hp. you should b very pleased when its all said and done. you can trust this site to give you worthy information. btw the headers will come with their own downpipe so you dont have to order an extra one

    with a correctly put together and tuned 3.4 setup you could potentially see low(er) 13s IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. otherwise expect to do a lot of 14.1s or maybe 13.9s.

    It means based on the way most people drive these cars they can't drive. Take it to the track right now and if you can't break 15's then you won't hit 13's on a 3.4" setup guaranteed...but hey...I only ran a 13.4 on a 3.4"

    Its a GT.

    This whole "you can't drive" thing can be solved with practise so don't let it bother you all that much.
