put a pi motor in there for about 2500$ total (used pi motors are fairly cheap+ labor should be less than 1500), then do some gears and youre set. a tune for the new motor would be great too.
getting a pi head swap would make your car basically the same as the 99+. but normal bolt ons and some gears and you should beat the 99+ gt's
I think you are gonna need a really steep gearset to put away the average stock 99-04 GT. I am thinking maybe 4.30s and a very sticky tire.
Hell, MM&FF did that 96 GT. Even with a full exhaust and all the intake boltons they still only made like 215 or so WHP, and that was with a weaker curve (less TQ, falling off hard up top) than a stock PI car.
The stock NPI stuff just really really sucks performance wise. A 190 WHP V8???
