Would I be able to get these for $2000 installed or just $2000 for parts?

Heads are probably a better idea, but you haven't touched the exhaust? And you're pushing 259rwhp? Get a mid pipe And do you have a tune?

Man screw all those 20-30 hp mods save for a supercharger. Put that 2000 in a good solid investment for 6 months while you save some more money.

You could save up to get a KB 6 psi kit for 3799 . That should give you plenty of power.

You've already got alot of goodies. So, I'd say upper/lower control arms, Sub-Frames, rims/tires and definetly a grill delete and chin spoiler.

I would love to get a supercharger - I just figured I would have to do a lot of motor work to handle a charger....If not I guess I could save my money somewhere. A solid investment....hmm what shall i choose..

i agree with kirkyg. if i had a new gt to start over with, i'd go s/c & to hell with all the little stuff. but, i'd still get a mid-pipe.
