Default What engine mods?

I have a 92 gt which my engine is basically stock. I have a mac cold air kit for the fenderwell and thats about it. But im putting in a new engine in a yr or two and i dont wanna spend money upgrading this one. If there is any cheap mods or would putting a shot of nitrous be a good idea considering the engine has 80k on it? Any ideas let me know.

ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO SHOOT IT!!!!! Remember to upgrade the fuel system too! That way youre doing stuff to the car that will still be there when you change the motor.

In the meantime you could rock some new gears. Do your subframe connecters and so forth. Get it ready for the new motor

Well already I have 3:73's in the rear end with an auburn pro limited slip and superior 31 spline axles. Also i have competition engineering subframe connectors, lakewood lower control arms and steeda double adjustable uppers and battle boxes welded in with new shocks and new springs, so i think im set on the support. Maybe thinking about going with a panhard bar also. If you say shoot it, how big of a shot should I go on an engine that has 80,000 miles on it?

With running that shot of nitrous, is there anything that im gonna have to do with the fuel system? Maybe a fuel pressure regulator or anything ?







Hey your guys and myself, I just have to wait for the damn snow to melt before I can pull it out to work on it, as soon as i get the shot on and can run it you guys will be sure to know what it does.
