I want to get up to "SPEED"
 

Well I have a 98 GT. STOCK as hell and was wondering if I could get some suggestions on some farily inexpensive mods to just get things rolling in hopes to one day have a really nice AMERICAN machine!

1. FRPP Gears(3.73 or 4.10)-$190+ install
2. BBK or Bassani Off-road or Hi-flow H(or X)-pipe-$180-$410
3. Steeda or ASP underdrive pulleys-$180
4. Steeda timing adjuster-$160
5. Pro 5.0 or Steeda Tri-ax short-throw shifter-$180
5. K&N Air filter-$50

These are about the only worth-while, affordable mods that will make a difference.

Then there is the '99 intake/head swap that will run you about $1000 in parts and about $750 for the install, but will gain you about 35hp. Well worth it.

Beyond that is supercharging($2800+) or Nitrous($550+)...

Not worth-while(N/A hp wise) but inexpensive mods include:
1. Aftermarket throttle body
2. C&L or Pro-M Mass Air Meter
3. Cold air kit
4. Aftermarket cat-back
5. Headers(also a PITA to install)

Things not to get:
1. Superchip, Diablo chip, or any other chip claiming 25hp. The only chip to get is a dyno tuned chip or JMS chip.

I may have forgotten some things, but this should get you started. I'm sure others will have some input as well.

Good luck!

Awesome! Thanks Travis...I will be sure to get started researching good local companies with the prices of those items.
