Well i was going to go with GT40 heads and GT40 intake but well funds just dont permit me to do that right now...so what i am going to do is this....MAF conversion...off road H-pipe...Mac cat back...Powerpipe...the car already has a paxton sn93 making 6 psi...dont know what i'll make with the powerpipe....? Im getting rid of the smog pump and all the A/C stuff too....Oh yeah im installing a set of 24 pd injectors an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.And an FMU..and 70 mm C&l MAF i have a 70mm TB already..BBK shorty headers......im installing a set of 3.73's its an AOD.it has a awesome shift kit already and a nice transcooler...What type of HP will this make and what do you think i can run in the 1/4 with these basic mods?,....Thanks...Forgot to menetion its a convertible....

Iwouldnt expect to see a whole lot of gains. those mods are a great basis for future upgrades, but wont do anything without first swapping your heads and intake.

Mid 13s possibly? I'm not sure, but it's a good goal to shoot for.

If your buyin all those mods then it sounds like u could have afforded the heads and intake.unless u were wanting brand new gt40 parts
