Default ------Newbie wants 400hp out of 5.0------
Sold the 4 banger and got a '94 GT and now its time for mods.. I would love to put down at least 400 hp but im not sure how to go about it. Right now i just have flow masters and im goin to be ordering a Powerdyne Supercharger set up in the next few days. What else can i do to get up to 400hp?
