I've got a 94 GT Conv and i've got alot of questions about what to do. The car right now has 157,000 miles on it, and runs like a peach, but obviously its very slow. I bought the car when I was 16 ( im 22 now) and have another daily driver, with the mindset that i'll be able to keep my first sports car with me for the rest of my life.
First questions: I want to add more power, is it acceptable to have the orginal 5.0 worked over to be as relieble as a new motor and then do power adders? without going into too much detail, what is the best path of achieving 400 HP? with budget in mind, is it cheaper to rework the original engine or getting new?
The two scenarios are just keep the car as it is, look and sound good and keep the cheap reliebilty and good times, and in 5 years or so (how many times have you heard that) do the engine work. In all seriousness, I worry about the availibilty of these kind of gas consuming products in 5 years.
second : with 400 hp, will I have to do anything to strengthen the frame on a Conv? and what else to the susp?
thanks alot guys. -Alex-
