Okay so I have about 4500 dollars to work with for my next modification to my 2000 GT. To date so far I have BBK shorty headers, x-pipe, flowmaster prochamber exhaust, 3:73 gears, BBK 75mm throttle body and intake elbow, intake spacer, C&L cold air intake, with 80mm MAF, MGW short throw shifter, full suspension: 5 was adjustable shocks and struts, sway bars, subframe connectors, upper and lower control arms, caster/camber plates and the car is tuned with a Diablo Predator tuner. Now here is what I'm trying to decide on. Either I'm going to go with all forged internals, cobra crank, pistons, rods, new patriot stage 2 heads, and crower stage 3 blower cams, or I'm going to go ahead and order a Procharger with the D1 head unit and just run about 10 lbs of boost until I get forged internals. What ever I upgrade it's going to be about another year before I will be able to talk the wife into letting me modify something else. What should I do? Also I'm not sure about running blower cams on a N/A motor, is this possible if I go that route? Thanks for your help!

intake elbow is larger and flows more smoothly than the stock one
intake space makes a whistling noise
the stock TB is 65mm larger ones provide more airflow

his setup is great for forced induction. get more air into the engine easily.

blower cams will work on a n/a engine. i would personally get the s/c and then the forged internals if the bottom end craps out on you.

I've thought about it, but with my car being paid off I can't justify another car payment for a car I only drive about half the year due to snow

Whatever you do, don't spend it on your car...
