Default Brand new 04 GT, ? about a few

Hey guys, wassup i just got a new 04 dark shaddowed grey GT 5 spd, she sure is pretty
for the next few months i'm gunna be a little shorter on cash than i will next year, so i wanted to do some small mods like short throw shifter. I've seen 80MM massair flow sensorsand throttle bodies that seem kinda cheap too.
do they actually help? what is the size of stock TB and Mass, thanks.

but hey, first worry about opening up the exhaust, h or x-pipe, cat-back and possibly headers...then move onto say shifter, you can go for the bigger mass air and dont go bigger than 70mm on the throttle body unless your gonna get a supercharger or something cuz the bigger it is you could actually hurt performance, a steeda timing adjuster really helps alot on power from my experience..you cold also go with a cold air, just for a few

The mass air meter would do wonders for your car, as will gears and exhaust work. The throttle body money would be best spent on the exhaust or gears.
