What year GT you got? You can check/adjust the timing, for the 5.0 put it at about 14 deg. Also you can take out the air silencer and all the other **** in the fenderwell that comes before the airbox.

He said he has a '97 gt which would probably have the 4.6 in it. There is nothing cheap about upgrading your stang. Best thing to do is save your money and do it the right way so you dont screw yourself in the end.

how cheap are you talkin? u can probably make your own Intake but the K&N intake i have is great plus my exhaust, those are both pretty cheap, as far as swappin things around that just free up a little horse power here and there, i don't think there is...

sorry dude, there just ain't no such thing as a free lunch! other than a K&N air filter, the next cheapest thing is underdrive pulleys for about $100 bucks with your labor to install.
