Since I want to make a decision soon, I figured I'd get opinions from the informed members of Stangnet.

I have a 2000 GT that so far only has an SLP catback, Hurst shifter, and 3.73s. I like to run autocross and road courses more than I like to drag race. Also, this is my only car but I have no problems with making it a little "illegal" to get more performance out of it.

Anyway, I've only got a couple hundred dollars to spend and have it down to these couple parts:
1. SLP catted x-pipe
2. KB subframe connectors, strut tower brace
3. Diablo Predator
4. Save up for a set of black FR500 wheels.

Or if you guys know of better mods I should make please feel free to make a suggestion! As always, any help will be appreciated.

Im in the same boat. So far, all Ive done is install the slp loudmouth catback exhaust, K&N air filter and some new shoes.

Im looking at the following:

slp catted x-pipe
eibach springs
cold air induction
either mach 1 or bullit wheels.

The items you listed look good in the order you listed them. The x-pipe will give you some HP and the subframe connectors and strut tower brace will help your handling. The predator will probably give you a little better low end performance and is a good trouble shooting tool. I like mine for that reason though the Diablo tune also helped my throttle response. After taking care of the exhaust, you can pick up more power by changing out the upper intake, throttle body, and cold air intake. Good luck...
