Default Quick/Cheap HP ?

Ok, I have a black 98 GT that is a bone stock 5spd. I just got the car in December and its everything I dreamed of.(pics soon) But I was wondering if there is anything that I could do to a bone stock GT to get more horse power or better performace in general. Is there anything that is restricting the engine? I am talking about not having to buy anything for the car, I am talking working with what I have. Any suggstions are welcome!!!

Well, your Heads, Cams, and Intake Manifold are pretty restrictive. But those are expensive.

I dont know if you have a air silencer, or a MAF screen, but both of those can be taken out. There's no such thing as Quick, Cheap, or Easy form of HP. Sorry bro

You could also put a set of 4.10s in. Talking about 500 bucks installed, and it will really wake up the car.

if you want to play you gotta pay man....but +1 to the PI swap....your car is putting well less than 200 HP to the wheels stock, the PI swap will give you the same (even a little more) Hp than the 99-04 Mustangs
