Default 96 GT HP?

I just got a 96 GT and I was wondering what type of upgrades I should do for the motor. Like the intake, heads, cams, injectors, pistons, rods, fuel pump, rockers, everything. I know I cant pull that much out of this motor but im trying to squeeze all the HP I can out of it. Plus I am adding a supercharger and im thinking a kenne bell? So if anybody can give me a run down of what I could add on I wound be greatfull. Thanks..

^^^+1...and if you have a few bucks left over, you could do a pi swap for pretty cheap.

The PI heads are what's on the 99-04 gt. The cams and intake are more aggressive too. You simply do the swap. Lot's of NPI (96-98) guys do that.

If you're planning on a kenne bell, I'd port and polish your npi heads, get some nice twinscrew specific cams and then slap the intercooled kenne bell on there. The npi intake and cams are most of the problem, the heads can be ported to flow fine. Obviously you'll need a new pump, injectors and a tune if you go that route.

i wouldnt go pi swap + kb your compression is bumped up big time and you wont be able to run too much boost without making a mess... I would do the exhaust gears and supporting mods as frostbitten said. Unless you just wanna stay n/a. Than i would do the stop with some nice cams maybe even bore the block. Welcome to modding. Youll become one of us youll see. Once you do one thing you just keep going. Its never good enough haha.
