Default What can I do to make my auto 98 GT fast ?

What can I do to make my car faster ? I know its bad to start off with an auto, but its all I got, and I dont want to get rid of it, what could I do ? I'm tired of 99+ GTs messing with me cause they know I'm not as fast as them....

Shift kit and a converter would make you quicker than your normal 5 speed driver of a non-pi. Get the pi head and intake swap done and you will be alittle quicker than a stock 99+

what about exhaust, I already have a stock H-pipe, and I got some mufflers put on but I dont think that it did anything other than make my car louder, what kind of setup would be good ? headers, cat back ?

PI Head/Cams/Intake Swap
Full exhaust: headers, midpipe, catback
Gears: lets not start on which ones, search around the forum to decide
Shift Kit
Stall Converter
After that you will be next to and passing 99+ GTs
Then......possibly
Supercharger
Nitrous
The list goes on.....

Ford Racing gears and Accufab plenum w/70mm throttle body. Underdrive pulleys would help also. Most other ideas here are good one's but MUCH more expensive. All depends on you budget. I noticed a big improvement when I added my catback Magnaflow system. Good increase across the entire rpm/torque range as is the case with the Accufab plenum. Good luck with your ride!
