either spend loads of money doing little upgrades like most people, or get a pot and start saving instead. A stock Stang is still a respectable peice of kit. Then when you have saved enough money buy a blower for it. Or sell the GT and use that money and the dosh you saved any buy a faster car (newer GT or Cobra or Vette.......)Ford_Racing44 said:i own a 1998 GT 4.6 liter thats completely stock. i was wondering what some pretty easy, basic, upgrades i can do to get more HP without spending a whole lot of money. I was thinking K&N filter and aftermarket exhaust??

will fun with a stock 99 up.
3.90 diff with a 5 spd. is nice. The PI manifold adds more usable RPM's & HP. the x-pipe added sound and torque.

I have the same car, now really that all depends on what your budget is but I will say your first mod should be a cold air intake, then I would get a pi intake(they are good for a 12+ hp to the wheels on a bone stock 98 gt but you will lose 7 ft lbs below 4K rpms but you will gain hp and torque above 4K as it’s made for high rpms) then I would get either a 70mm or 75mm throttle body with a bigger plenum( id go with professional products plenum or trickflow) then bbk long tubes and x pipe with either Borla catback or slp 1 loudmouth catback exhaust and a stage 3 comp cam and if you want to squeeze extra power get pi heads but honestly you’re better off doing without the pi heads bc the heads alone are only a 10 hp at the very most better then the non pi heads, but if u can get them for a good price and installed for under 1k I say go for it but if not don’t do it as it’s crazy to spend $1000+ for only 10 hp. You’ll get more then10 hp alone from the pi intake and it’s much cheaper and easier to install. Aside from that besides a supercharger or turbo there isn’t much you can do. With all those mods you’ll either be in very very high 280+rwhp or low 300s rwhp depending on if you get a good tune but it’s very possible to get slightly over 300 rwhp as I’ve seen ppl do it.i own a 1998 GT 4.6 liter thats completely stock. i was wondering what some pretty easy, basic, upgrades i can do to get more HP without spending a whole lot of money.
