Add a CAI, add X-pipes with catback exhaust, advance timing to somewhere between 14* and 16* BTDC, add 3.73 or 4.10 gears, toss in a shift kit if it's an auto, add underdrive pulleys.


That right there should run you close to $1,000 depending on where you go... although not sure a 16 year old has that kind of cash.

For free, you can advance the timing and los the air silencer.

okay, now I'm confused. The original post said GT but it doesn't look like a GT. Lets see under the hood or the exhaust

We aren't talking much of a gain with the silencer.. If I recall correctly you're looking at 3 - 5 HP. Someone may want to confirm that. Also when advaicing the timing from 10* - 16* thats about a 18 - 24 HP gain... not bad for free mods.
