I want to get my 02 gt up to around 380+ rwhp. I dont know what to do to get that. My budget is only about $2000 i know its not alot but what can i get to start acomplishing my goal. also how can i naturally aspirate it im not really sure what i got to do to do this. Most of u will prolly say nitrous or supercharger and I will get one later i just want about 380 or higher rwhp. If I cant acomplish this with $2000 how much rwhp will I expect to get with only $2000. also everyone at my school drives big trucks so I want my **** to be loud rumble and have some ***** ya know so please help. also the bestbrands when naming parts please.

without nirtous or a supercharger your not getting 380rwhp hp for 2k buddy. heck the only GOOD way ( IMO) would be run a 100 shot with some bolt ons.

Wont get there without either of those power adders.
IMO, SAVE YOUR MONEY! Dont buy anything.Put it in the bank and forget about it ,then in 5 months or so when you have saved up another $2000, you can combine the 2 and buy a blower.

as far as exhaust goes, loudest = SLP LMI with O/R X-pipe.
This will deff get you some tickets
It is retardedly loud.

Save your money, and put a blower on.

+1000 ^^^^ don't waste your money. BTW you mean F/I not naturally aspirated. F/I = forced induction ie. blower

You know what to do; save your pennies and make it count. Hell, at $2000 your nearly to the price of a Mongoose Supercharger Kit.

^+1000

But if you want loud rit NOW, then get a o/r h pipe w/ LM2 mufflers! That should get the point accross. Then id just save the rest and buy the mongoose kit (or other s/c kit of your choice).

yeah i could but what about my car holding the power of a supercharger shouldnt I buy other things to accomidate it or what. and what would i have to do to make my car hold around 400 or so? would a cobra crank fit in my engine?

The motor will hold around 400RWHP without having to forge the internals. You can make around 350RWHP without any supporting mods and running a supercharger at around 8psi. Keep in mind right now you are probably at around 220RWHP.

Yes the cobra crank will fit your car, you will need forged rods and piston to be safe w/ a supercharger. You can buy forged shortblocks from many businesses (MMR, DSS racing, and many others). But i would build up my engine before throwin on a s/c (forged bottom end, stage 2+ heads, cams). This way you will get the most out of your s/c.
