You could buy a supercharger!! or Heads/cam/intake or Exhaust/gears/suspension Is this going to be a drag car or a cruiser? 5 speed or auto?

| Re: 88gt performance advice add a good aftermarket shifter, some GT40P heads with fresh springs since you'll be doing long tubes and system anyway, and an Explorer intake.

But do some subframe connectors welded in. And I always said, my aluminum driveshaft helped, less drivetrain weight= quicker rev's, then again, they went UP 100$ since then, so exhaust should come before the driveshaft. good luck.

| Re: 88gt performance advice At the very least, sub frame connectors FIRST. You do not have to spend big money on the pretty ones. 2X2 tubing works well. Also a rebuild on the rear chunk, 100.00 will get you close to posi, and last for years, then suspention. More motor = more spinning. Drag car means LEAVING HARD don't forget that. Good luck ask many questions
