    I'm working with a ~$500 or so budget here, and I want to put some cheap performance into my roughly stock '98 GTP. Any suggestions?

    Wouldnt headers cost less than a plog and dp? plog and dp is about $300 usually and headers are liek $220. And homemade intake would be far cheaper than the wizaired.

    That would be way more then $500 unless you find a deal of a lifetime.


    Headers will e cheaper an would benefit way more then a plog. Wizaired...well your paying for the brand..you can achieve then same thing building your own for $30-$40.

    Ill link you to bluegtp thread when I get access to a computer.
