Default what to do

i have a 96 gt all stock excpt a kn intake with 103k in the motor i wanna try to get it to have like 300 hp to the wheels. What do u think would be the best and most cost effective way to do it with out using nos. I found someone local to me that had a pi swapped 98 gt motor with 83 k on it that he said he sell to me for around 1200 with midpipe and headers. IT has stage 2 vt cams on it. what would be the best route for me
thanks

Default RE: what to do

buy a new and faster car. for some reason when having a motor in its first year of production doesnt do it for me, i would just rid the 96 cause it has absolutly no power and was one of the worst tuned 1st year ford motor built. get yourself somthing newer no? IMO if your really stuck just do you PI swap and work your way from there.

and there is no cost efficient way to get to 300 hp when all you have is 210 with a motor thats old, if you wanna cut corners your gonna pay for it in the long run...

PI swap, and ~8000 in other engine work. Nitrous or a blower are best.

buy used pi heads and maybe add some stage 2 cams, get it tuned, and add some juice
