intake, exhaust, tune, gears, tlok, headers, throttle body, steeda stickers, roush badges, NOS NOS NOS.... I don't know if you can just add a little here and a little there to beat a GT... I think you'd just have to turn your car from n/a into f/i... but if i'm wrong tell me so i dont spend my hard earned $4,500 on the vortech H.O.

To be fast as a GT without wanting to install a blower or turbo.......buy a GT.

Piece for piece it`ll be cheaper to just by a GT. Or drive them both off a cliff,gravity will take care of the rest.

I could not afford a gt so i went with a v6 so i want to get to av8 gt but just with simplestic modifications what would be my rwhp with a cold air induction a tooner chip and a dual exaust??? and what would that be to converted into regular hp? also if i had a quad exhaust would that do anything? i have seen corvetes with quad exausts. has any body tried to put a 4/quad exaust yet? i do not want to do nos or chargers or anything like that. if i can get close to a gt that would be ok though

Which year GT?
Sn-95 GT's with the 4.6 are really weak, about 245 horse power was rated, it might be a little higher or lower. You'll need CAI+Tuner+Exhaust, and you can keep up with them, we weight lighter
New Edge 99-04 Rated w/ 275 I want to say, To keep up you'll need some go juice + the mods I listed above.
Sn-197 GT's, rated with a little over 300 hp, you'll need FI.

Edit: My numbers may be off a little.

Short of nitrous or forced induction with every bolt-on available if you have an automatic you will get maybe 200-210 rwhp tops and with a manual you'll get maybe 210-220 tops, though I haven't seen anyone yet that has gotten 220 rwhp out of theirs yet. Heck I have a manual with CAI, Tuner, Headers and dual exhaust and just barely got 199 rwhp and on the other side somebody on the forums with a manual and similar mods has gotten 213 rwhp. It depends to a large extent on how much horsepower your car starts out with. It can vary quite a bit as mine shows. I have nearly 10 rwhp less than most manual V6's. I was one of the unlucky ones that was on the low end of the hp range. If you're lucky and yours has as much more hp as mine has less hp then you could get over 210 rwhp maybe even close to 220 rwhp. That still is a lot less than the GT which is pushing about around 255 rwhp give or take a few horses.

Basically the only way you will get GT performance out of our V6's from currently available mods is to either go with nitrous oxide injection or super charger or turbo charger. I couldn't afford the GT either. It's possible to get close to 2004 and earlier model GT performance with just bolt-ons but not the new ones.

if you are talking new GT you will need a power adder... not just bolts on... if you want ot be the older GT's (mid-90s?) you can do that with bolt-ons... but what ever you do... TAKE IT TO THE TRACK!
