hey guys i happen to have a 2003 gt auto and i am looking to do some motor work this winter while the car is stored away, know i have heard when putting a super charger on it the car becomes a running time bomb unless all forged internals, are installed, so im not sure i want to do that being that i am in the process of looking for a cobra motor to install within the next year, so i wanted to stick a little bit of money into this one to beef it up a little but not anything fancy, so i was looking at a set of the new cams that comp cams came out with, along with k and n's fipk intake for it along with a computer chip some help with that would be cool as well becuase i dont really know what company makes a decent chip, for the money, but i am also going to go with the magnaflow catalytic x pipe and the magnapak exhaust to finish it off, so if anybody has any other ideas or addititons that would be great and if somebody could give me a performace gains perspective that would be cool too, i appriciate the help!!

thanks

steve

well if you are gunna do cams, don't even bother with a off the shelf chip. go & get it tuned on a dyno, it'll be much better than any chip you can get off the shelf

cams, long tube headers, o/r xpipe, catback, dyno tune, jerry mod, 4.10s,tranny cooler, PI stallion torque converter (at least 3000 rpm stall speed). That should give your car a huge increase in performance. Then, you can get the suspension set up ( springs, subframes, UCAs/LCAs, drag radials etc...)
