Well, after taking my car in for some spark plug change related issues, my mechanic at a local performance shop has convinced me to just go ahead and bite the bullet and spend some more $$ to keep the economy rolling. LOL.

The 05 GT is getting:

ARH LT Headers w O/R X pipe
BBR Stage II Cams
P&P the Heads, no need to replace them, just clean them up and make them flow a little better.

and a new tune.....of course.

It will be done in around 10-12 days, parts being ordered today. I'm pretty interested to see what the results will be, but I'm expecting to see an additional 40-60 RWHP from those mods. Any thoughts out there about that?

I'm a little concerned that the O/R X may be a bit gaudy - but its not a DD, I will drive the car to work 2x p/week usually and sometimes out and about on the weekends.

 

awesome list man. be sure to post vids when ur done.

 

Sounds good. With the right tunes you should be in the 315-325 RWHP range assuming your stock #'s are about average.

 

I'm expecting more than that, as I did already have a few mods. CAI/Tune (93 street/strip Tillman Speed tune), UDPs, GT500 TB, Axlebacks, 4.10s.............stock dyno in Feb 05 put me at 269/283 (HP/TQ) and CAI/ w/87 Oct Tune pushed it to 286/293 in Oct 05. It hasn't been dyno'd since.

All the parts were ordered, so when we dyno it next week, I'll post up results. I will say that for the $$ this cost, I really considered buying the FRPP Hot Rod Motor and doing a swap, but want to wait a couple years and put a 5.0 in it instead. Gotta start saving again.
