Default 2003 GT 4.6 any, What can i do to make it faster?

Hey guys, I have a 2003 GT and I have a superchips programmer and have it programmed to my car, what else can I do to make it faster? Without spending thousands on a super charger? I am use to the carburetors , can I do anything with sensors or anything like that? Thanks in advance

A good thing to do before posting is use the search feature, you can find tons on this topic in past threads. But I will give you the run down...

Gears are huge 3.73 or 4.10s its personal preference.
Exhaust - Long tubes to a high flow x/h pipe and a catback.
Intake - just get a K&N to drop in
Short Shifter - MGW is a good one

That will be enough to get you started, if you have more $$$ there is supercharging and cams.

It doesn't really help with making it faster but I would suggest lowering it because it will look 100 times better that way.

Put some 4v heads on there. You can find 96-98 Cobra top ends for cheap these days and that alone will give you the best bang for the buck. If you're not looking for something that intensive, gears is the next best upgrade.

as mentioned above, gears will make it seem "faster" but to actually gain some hp your gonna have to do more than just bolt ons to be faster than most

+1 for gears, maybe upgraded clutch or flywheel.
