Ok, I have a bone stock black 98 GT that is a 5spd, I am looking to get some parts for it. I cant afford a whole exhaust system for my car such as Borla or Magna Flow, but it Flowmaster good enough? I really want to know what is going to be the best bang for my buck? This car is a daily driver. Which gears should I get? Are underdrive pulleys worth the time? Would a 160 degree thermostat help me at all? What about cold air, is that over rated? All these things i have looked up and they seem to be in my price range. I dont wannt to spend to much and I deffinetly will not get all this stuff at the same time, it will be one at a time kinda deal. What should I start with first? Any suggstions would be appreciated!!! Please be brand specific and tell me where you guys normally shop!!! Thanks!!

 

Save up all your $$$ and do a PI swap first and foremost. That motor needs to breathe before you start bolting random crap on it or you'll just be pissin' in the wind.

 

4.10 gears FTW, nothing else on your list is going to add signficant horsepower to your 98 NPI car.
