    04 Gt n/a , just looking for some upgrades for more power without hurtin fuel mileage and reliability, the car was bought for a second vehicle for gas mileage our other 2 cars average about 12-15mpg so we need something for trips, then when i realized the performance of the car baseline, like any other man i wanted more so i went searching and found this place. Would like to get closer to gtp power without goin to far, budget right around 1500.

    Mods equal less reliablity. You could top swap for 1500. But sounds to me like maybe you should just leave it be. Perhaps an intake and hv3

    DIY intake, custom tuned PCM for MPG's...meaning lots of lean and high timing at cruise speeds, catted headers, HV3, ER Rockers...

    That thing should easily net at LEAST 30 MPG's on the highway.

    It gets 31 the way it sits, bone stock, so it would be nice to benefit from the extra power and still maintain its mpgs, already have the headers catted down pipe and hv3 in the works, got just a k&n cone on the end of the mass air coming, damnit ive only have the car for 10 days.lol
