I'd get the "mongoose" kit from www.modularfordpowerhouse.com. $4000 with the chip and all needed components. Then you should start with the suspension mods, your gonna have a whole lotta power and stock GT sus/rear end.. Good luck man, T&J are definite pros, cant go wrong there!

if you want a little more power , go with the SVO roots blower or the powerdyne , if you wanna do big numbers or upgrade later , go with the vortech

procharger is another good one but you might want to do some research one what else you will need , the kits they sell for the newer GTs need extra injectors and mass air , plus they have not had the best reviews on tuning , which might not be a problem on your year model though , oh and they did have a problem with leaking head units but supposedly fixed now

I agree but just wanted to make one correcttion. Tim tunes by reflashing your computer with EFI rather than using a chip.

With that many miles I would look at getting a 99 or newer low mileage engine to swap out , that way you have a fresher bottom end , you will gain a lot from that alone , then do the supercharger (vortech) because boost puts a bigger strain as does any power adder to the bottom end .

My car had 105000 on it when I put the supercharger on it and it has 109000 on it now . With all those miles on it I was able to put the the screws to a ls1 last night . I paid 3299.00 for the complete kit. Which included 42lb injectors steeda powerpipe 255lph walbro fuel pump and a custom tuned superchip also I installed it myself which saved more money.

instead of buying a new engine could he also just get a new shortblock and a new long block? couldn't he make more power this way safer too?
