Default Horsepower ?

Justwanting to getyour guy's opinions. What is the fastest way to mod a GT so it will have around 450 hp, if money is not the concern. And yes I know one answer will be to sell it and buy another car. But I am really wanting to see about doing it. Please let me know of everything you think I will need. Thanks

A supercharger is most likely your fastest and easiest way to go.

Oh yeah, I have a 03 Gt with nothing more that a cai, some kind of aftermarket exhaust, and 3.73 gears. Not for sure if I have anything else. That is all I can figure out so far,

Nitrous, turbo or a blower is the only way to get her done on a 2V 4.6.

me, nitrous fan, low cost- plenty of hp... like $600=100+ hp cant beat that.
s/c puts the same stress on engine than nitrous. diff is that s/c is putting all that stress on eng. all the time, nitrous only when you push the pedal. plus nitrous you have all that power all the way trough the rpm band, s/c will get that hp trough the band.
conclusion:

450hp s/c car V.S. 450hp nitrous car......

nitrous wins.......[sm=gears.gif]

how does the supercharger put that stress on the car all the time? I'm thinkin you have no idea what in the hell you are talking about lol. especially a centri supercharger, it just drives normal until you floor it and want it too just like nitrous, except it never needs refilled.
