Im looking for mods I can do for under 400... I dont want to boost. Eventually I am doing a motor swap but thats not happening for a while... so i am looking for cheap mods that can take my stock 01 gt and make it a little better any tips?
 


I'll help point you in the right direction

Under $400 is a bit tough, but here are some bang for the buck NA mods.

Downpipe=$80 to $130
Intake=$50 to $250
Plog or headers=$180 to $350(cheapest well performing headers)
HV3=$300 (EXCELLENT NA 3800 mod)

These prices are for NEW parts, used parts can be found in the For Sale section for great prices.

Start out there and pick your combo.

You will also want plugs and a t-stat as Nick stated below. (I figured those were a given but meh, whatever)

Ok...since I'm a dick...

180* T-Stat
Autolite 606 Spark Plugs
ZZPerformance 3" Catless Downpipe
Custom Fenderwell Intake (You can make your own for like $50 or so)
Flipped Motor Mounts - Free

Then if you can afford it...get a TransGo Shift Kit from Dave at Triple Edge Performance
 
I heard 2 1/2 inch downpipes would suite n/a gts better and 3'' downpipes are better for sc grand prixs

Yea maybe the guy building 8,9, an 10sec grand prixs an rebuilds 100's of 3800 trannys told me wrong maybe but oh yeah the homer simpson internet guy is right... Maybe??:th_laugh-lol2:
 
you should move back to big bodes. we are clearly too educated for you. anyone that uses a 2.5" downpipe is stupid.

Yes, and a tune, I felt a HUGE difference after a tune when my GT was still N/A.
