Hi Guys. This is what I've done so far on my 89 GT vert.

3.73 gears
remove air silencer
K&N filter
advanced timing to 15
sub frame connectors.

What can I do to get some more hp for about 500 bucks ?

thanx.

i'd say fms shorty headers, and a quick shifter, and kc clutch.

or just het the headers and save the rest for h/c/i

get a bottle ... but then you'd wanna retard the timing a little

Yeah get the spray thats what im doing

how much experience do you have....and how willing are you do dig around some junkyards?

I would go for an intake upgrade such as GT-40, Cobra, or Edelbrock. Also a good mass air such as an 80mm Pro-M.

I do not agree with the headers. Headers on your stock combo now will only make you slower.

The bottleneck right now is the lower intake.

i will get long tubes headders don wate money in short ones i recomend you flowtech they are equal length and 3'' collectors (BIG-12104FLT) look for this part # at www.summitracing.com they are only 110$. and buy an intake and inyectors with mass air!

i noticed a decent gain when i put shortie headers on my near stock gt! especially when you have gears. sounds better too. and i disagree with something else too.

flowtech sucks ass!

the set i bought, the bolt holes werent lined up, the tube was bent incorrectly on one side so that i couldnt get a spark plug in, and i had to smooth the runners out with sand paper, and of couse they leaked like hell. so for 50 bucks more i got the ford ones and they worked great no problems. plus a couple of my buddies tried flowtechs on thier stangs and they sucked! do your self a favor and get ford, or bbk if u do long tubes. flowtechs might be ok for an old carbuerated car with lots of engine bay room.

Yeah they're only $110 but they won't bolt up to a stock exhaust so WTF good are they if you have to drop another $300 into a short H or X? Your $500 is gone in a flash going that route. He can't afford an intake and injectors on top of that. Injectors are a waste of money. I got a set of 24's on a very mild setup and they did absolutely nothing. Only reason I got them was in anticipation of future plans. IntenseBlue has mentioned a few good early bolt-ons. I'd add a short throw to his plan and you'll be happy. SOTP might not be night and day but you'll probably notice a little difference. If nothing else your puppy will sound better. The short throw will make you think you're driving a race car.

Thanx for the advice guys.
How easy is it to install a lower intake ? I have done some work on my cars ?
