Default Need some Opinions! First mod to my 5.0

Well Ive reached the first opportunity to put a mod on my car. It already has a few but I just want to add something that will give me a significance in hp and torque, because right now the car isnt as fast as i want it to be. Possibly its because I cant really drive it well haha but yeah i'd just like to add a part on that would give me more power and mpg. I was thinking about a diablo chip, but I have no clue if they are good and will give me more mpg. I'm a teenager and this is my first car, so I baby it, not dog it. But I would just like it to be a little quicker. I was also going to invest in a short throw shifter, because the stock shifter just sucks flat out. When I shift to second, half the time its hard to go in etc. I have 200 dollars, What do you think I should do to my car? Or if you have any other suggestions, I could get a couple more hundred after I sell something, So just post up what you think I should get for my 93 gt.


Thanks in Advance

I wouldn't spend a dime on mods until I made sure that my tranny was in good shape. You may need the money for repairs.

Well, I am staying away from N20 because all that will do is wear your internals quick. Thanks for your input though



Whats the best shifter for the money? I was looking at a Pro 5.0 but I've heard a few cons about them.


Also does anyone know about the diablochips?

^^^^ agreed might wanna save some money and make sure the trans is good before throwing more power to it.
Besdies that $200 will not do much for a mod and be noticable difference unless its a gear.
