I have a 98 GT and I have a BIG decision to make! I have $3k to spend...
ok, so I cant decide between doing a PI motor swap, or buying a Vortech S-trim off a buddy of mines car. The Vortech has maybe 6000 miles on it, and has been very well taken care of. I know for a fact it has never been to the track or seen a 1/4 mile. I would love to do that, but I think about the cost of a tune on top of it, and I have to replace my intake as it just cracked. The motor will be $1500+mine + $1000 for install. There is $2500 right there...OR I could buy the Vortech from my buddy $2000 installed, and get the livernois PI intake and adapter $450, and then tune it all up $500. Either way I max out that $3k with ONE MAJOR MOD.
My other choice is I thought about going BOLT ON CRAZY!!! PI Intake and adapter kit $450, Accufab TB and Plenum $450, PI cams $125, I already have a Bassani O/R X-pipe, Flowmaster American Thunder cat back $325, 3.73 GEARS $325...Thats $1675, and then Eibach Prokit $250, Wheels $1000.
TOTAL $2925
WHAT SHOULD I DO???
