Hey everyone, I plan of getting a 02 or 03 GT, what are the best minor bolt-ons? Intake, TB, Plenum, etc, I already have the exhaust picked out, but Im having trouble deciding on other things. Also Tri-ax or Pro 50 shifter?

Thanks for the help!

Jeremy

Check out the parts review boards here. Quite helpful. I decided on the Pro 5.0 for less cabin noise, but have not installed it yet.

As far as the shifter goes, I installed my Pro 5.0 last night and I absolutely love it! As far as the other mods go, if you are staying N/A I would do 4.10's, Plenum, TB, underdrives, LT's, X-Pipe, and a Catback to start off with. If you are going FI I would probably do 3.73's, (possibly a Bullit intake but most likely stick with the stock intake and do the plenum and TB swap), at least a set of tuned shorty headers, X-Pipe, catback, and a nice vortech SC. I guess it just all depends on what you are wanting from it.

The Tri-Ax is a really good shifter. When I had my GT I put the Steeda T/A on and noticed a good gain from it.

I would definitely go gears first, but you will kind of be committed to forced or n/a.Something you need to decide anyway.You should have some kind of plan of where it is going,so you don't waste much money on the wrong things.As far as shifters go, I love the pro5.0.You could also throw some steeda u/ds.BTW, what exhaust are you going with?

Im thinking Catback Dynomax with a X pipe, and possibly Long tube headers, and i was planning on getting 3.73 gears anyway.

umm, 3:73's are not the best for a turbo.
