Default Mods to make my 96GT faster

Just wanted some advice from you guys. I have a off-road X pipe, Nitros, cold air induction, 3.73 gears, Superchip, 70MM throttle body and MSD wires. Anything else I could add without have to tear the motor apart?

I would say you really need to do the PI intake and PI head swap. If you do the swap with the other stuff you have you will have a strong car, running high 12's and low 13's with the shot of nitrous. The PI parts will cost you in the neighborhood of $1200 and installation all depends on where you are. Also look into finishing your exhaust by putting in a set of LT headers and a good catback.

Thats really the only way.

Do you have a link to where I could get those? Yeah the installation is what really hurts. I dont have a place to really work on my car and it seems that places are sooo expensive here in VA.

IF you on a budget then going ahead and swapping to a PI intake and PI cams would get you about 30 rwhp, that cheaper and easier. You've got some good mods already - if your just wanting to squeeze a few more ponies out how about a cat-back exhaust, underdrive pullies, and maybe some tire / suspension work to put it to the ground.

Will the cat-back take much sound away from what I have now?
