How to bump up my HP on my 02 GT
Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum and it seems there are alot of knowledgable people in here. I just bought an 02, mineral gray, GT coupe totally stock with only 10,500 miles on it. I see it's rated at 260HP. Without spending thousands and thousands of dollars, what are some easy bolt ons that i can do to bump the HP to the 300 range? I've been told to go with a Diablo Tuner chip, under drive pulleys, cold air-intake and maybe an x-pipe. Any other words of wisdom?

RE: How to bump up my HP on my 02 GT
Me, personally - I would do my mods in this order - not necessarily in order of performance but what would make me happiest:
Catback exhaust
4.10 gears
xcaliber tuner
midpipe
drag radials
CAI
underdrive pulleys
and so on.

instead of getting 6 hp here and there just spend money on gears and get some nitrous and you'll be happy. i mean HP #'s don't really mean jack ish in these cars to make them fast. its all about getting the power to the ground.
