Smile 2000 gt questions

I have a 2000 gt have had the car couple of months. im am wondering how i could tell if it has had any mods the easiest way. and what would be the fastest/cheapest was to get 300rwhp. Also i want to remove my stock wing do they make a delete kit or would it just leave holes? Thanks

1) take a pic of the engine bay and undercarriage and post it here

2) 300rwhp would take a lot, at least $1500 in mods, and thats being very conservative

3) if it leave holes, invest in bondo and touch up paint

if you don't know what mods look like take a pic of your engine and undercarriage like said

300rwhp isnt going to happen without full boltons and atleast some aggressive stage 2 cams. will be well over 1500$. nitrous would be the easiest and cheapest way to hit 300rwhp.

they don't make a delete, but you can remove your spoiler and RTV some plastic plugs from an auto store to your trunk lid to keep moisture out. problem is alot of trunks have bad wear marks from where the spoiler rubbed on the trunk (mine included). the only decent way for me to remove mine is to have the holes filled and have the trunk refinished and repainted because of the gouges in the paint (you can unbolt your spoiler real quick and see if your trunk falls in that category).

I spent over $1500 on exhaust alone... $2k on cams.... ~$200 on intake, $400 on chip+tune... and im only at 288/310

Your best bet is to find a cheap used vortech and part together a F/I kit... (or do nitrous, which I do not like lol)

Slap on a 75 shot and be done. No plugs, tune, fuel system...that's as cheap as it get's.

Well full bolt ons usually include full exhaust (headers, mid pipe, and cat back) cold air intake, tune, throttle body/plenum, and underdrive pulley's. Most people do gears as well.

If you buy a basic nitrous kit brand new (which isn't necessary) you're looking at around $600.
