i have a stock 04 gto (avatar pic) with 13k miles on it right now, 6 speed. my friend just bought an 06 lancer evo9 mr and i need to beat him (which i cant do at the moment). i have 2-3 grand to play with so hit me with some ideas on simple stuff that i can get done that will give me the extra push i need.

im looking at a functional ram/cowl hood with intake setup, decent exhaust, etc etc. i ordered a power programmer from superchips so that should be here shortly.

i need good ideas on best intakes/hoods/exhaust etc etc for best performance increases

aesthetics and sound are a plus but not a necessity

thanks guys

I would start with long tube headers and a good free flowing exhaust. A programmer is nice but a dyno tune will gain you more HP.

any recommendations on the headers and exhaust? im talking like brand and model

also, how do i go about getting the dyno tune?


by the way, i can only seem to find ram air hoods for my goat. do they even make cowl hoods for the 04 gto?

You will net pretty much the same HP gains on any type of LT's and exhaust you purchase; find the ones you like and buy'em. I went with SLP LT's and LMI exhaust and I am very happy with them. They are very loud BTW.

I would also get a cold air intake so she can breathe better.

As far as tuners go you might get feedback on this thread, or you may need to start a new thread and pose the question... Good Luck Man...

cjsuttonx

what do you recommend in way of intakes? like i said i plan on getting a ram air hood here soon and it is gonna be functional - what brand/model intake would you recommend i get in the meantime that will still work with my hood when i get it?

here ya go:
$580 - pacesetters LT headers/mids/o2 extensions, just install yourself or find someone who like this kinda stuff.
$700 224 or 228 camshaft, springs, etc. bigger if you really want power
$300 camshaft install
$400 TUNE
---------------<$2000 and sell your superchips tuner, its worthless when you just get your professional tune.

This will help you make gains of at LEAST 75rwhp, depending on how big a cam you go, and NOT sacrifice too much gas mileage. oh, and the headers will sound awesome.. if you want louder then just get cutouts for $320-400 or mufflers for $160 or muffler delete $80.

btw do you REALLY need a functional ram ait hood? if youre going to get an aftermarket hood anyway then i can see why.
