What should i spend my $500 on that would give me the most horsepower out of my 98 gt. I already have a CAI, and SLP Loudmouth installed with stock cats and headers.
What's done suspension wise, if you don't mind me asking? What does snow have to do with the suspension? How much power are you trying to get for the $500? Not trying to be rude just asking politely.For the most part, my suspension is alright and i am not to concerned about it for now, plus i can't really modify it because it snows in my area. im thinking of installing a bigger throttle body, maybe 75mm and doing a PI cam swap. then save up for bullit rims
alright, so then im going to wait on the throttle body until i have the PI swap and more mods on the carDon't waste money on the throttle body unless you have PI heads or a power adder. The stock TB outflows the stock NPI heads by a LOT.
The suspension is all stock, there arn't many tracks around where i live and since it snows a lot here, i can't really lower the car if i wanted to. this is my daily driving car though. so basically i don't see advantages to upgrade the suspension yetWhat's done suspension wise, if you don't mind me asking?

Oh ok, track or not suspension definitely helps for all around driving. If you can't see the advantages of suspension something is wrong. I'd also say its better to upgrade that first. Just makes sense to upgrade that before HP. Of course, how much HP are you looking for $500?The suspension is all stock, there arn't many tracks around where i live and since it snows a lot here, i can't really lower the car if i wanted to. this is my daily driving car though. so basically i don't see advantages to upgrade the suspension yet
Well for $500 i was hoping around 20 hp, overall i want to bring my car to at least 350hp but i guess it does make sense to upgrade the suspension before i add the extra horsepower. what would you recommend what suspension i should buy?Oh ok, track or not suspension definitely helps for all around driving.

20 HP you might get half of that with a whole new exhaust. Someone else might chime in with some actual numbers for aftermarket exhaust. Your cheapest best bet is that PI Intake but If it was me I would just keep saving for a power adder. Yea, trust me just having all that handling will bring a big grin to your face. You could also swap out the rear gears, not sure what you have right now. Anything MM is supposedly GREAT stuff. I'd start with panhard bar, then torque arms, then coil-overs (if you prefer), and then lower control arms. Ha the list really can go on depending on what all you want. One thing that probably should come first is sub frame connectors. If you go on the MM website they go into detail about what there product does, why there better, and even instructions so you can see how it's installed before you buy.Well for $500 i was hoping around 20 hp, overall i want to bring my car to at least 350hp but i guess it does make sense to upgrade the suspension before i add the extra horsepower. what would you recommend what suspension i should buy?

How much HP gain did you get out of the PI Cam/ intake manifold? and i don't think i would buy a power adder for this car but perhaps a future mustang.If you're looking for the best bang for your buck and you don't want a power adder/nitrous. I would recommend a PI cam/intake manifold swap. The cams and manifold will compliment your CAI very nicely. Also, a nice catback will be very nice as well. I just picked up my PI heads with manifold for $200 and am just using the cams and manifold for boost purposes later on. So, eBay all the things and you will get the best bang for your buck man. I hope this helps. Also, I definitely agree with upgrading suspension first. That's what I've done and haven't looked back. Gears is definitely the best thing I've ever done.

Coil-overs first but those are expensive. I would go in the order I stated above except before the panhard I would do sub frame connectors.What suspension parts should i start with? such as Springs, Shocks, etc.
You should really think about power adders that's the cheapest way to really open these motors up.How much HP gain did you get out of the PI Cam/ intake manifold? and i don't think i would buy a power adder for this car but perhaps a future mustang.
That's pretty good for just cams and an intake manifold, and only $200, that's a steal. Haha, the LS1's have no chance
