topswaping a gt gives more hp than a stock gtp. Due to the higher compression you get around 5% more hp. And spending 2k on performance parts isnt as hard as you think. All the stuff like fluids, tuning, and gaskets adds up quick. Cuz you dont just buy a cam. You need like 120 bucks worth of gakets. You dont just install a shift kit. You get fluid and a new filter too. And you need an intake gasket for the HV3. So cam install turns to 550, and shift kit gets closer to 100. Tune will be around 75 unless you do it yourself. even then you have to buy hpt for 300m, and credits are another 100.
