Dude,,let me tell you somthing,,That plastic intake will take more than you can throw at it on your car,,except a shot of nitrous from a cheap dry kit backfiring in it . For the power mods he is asking about,,plastic intake is good for low end torque,,as long as you get the air flowing through better...I'm runnin over 450RWHP on my car and I still run plastic intake..He neees to work on the air intake system 1st then tweak the exhaust with a nice set of long tubes, then start looking for some juice for cheap power or a blower,, and he"ll be laughin running 12's at the track while you"re still runnin' 14's..and prob. for the same money you spent.. :I'm not sure about stock gear in that year but 4:10's with street tires is way too much gear for a power adder.unless he plans on runnin a 28" slick or E/T street. 3:55 or 3:73 would be perfect..Give this guy some good info..
I'm not saying you are or not running 450HP to your car but the intakes with the plastic crossover are subject to cracking...mine did and so has literally thousands of others. So much so that Ford had a recall on them. I'm not saying put an aftermarket intake on just the PI with aluminum crossover.
I tried to find an FRPP blower and it is hard to find the install kit AND blower. You can get them but for the money ($2K for the blower and another 2 grand for the install kit), unless you can pick up a used, one you would be better just to go with a Vortech. Before you start saying that the FRPP isn't that expensive...show me and I'll buy it tomorrow. You'd be better off going with a Vortech or...if money isn't an object a Kenne Bell. But I don't think he is in the market for a 4 grand mod (DIY) yet so I would just stick with mods under $750.

i did mid 14 stock with a 2.0 60'. all about if u can drive or not and i never powershift it cause i think that is retarted
I see your and raise you a . Generally a 96 GT is in the low 15 range stock. Results may vary...good for you you were able to get mid 14's in yours. I know a guy who got 14.4 in his with exhaust and CAI. BUT...that is the exception instead of the rule.
