'96 4.6 hp ??

T_Bone · 11-19-2000, 12:48 AM

I believe the torque was 205lb/ft. Not sure though. As far as the 15-20 estimate, yes that is an over-estimate. I would say 5-10hp, maybe...
I had a '96GT and did some mods. Here is the order I would recommend...
1st-Gears(3.73's 5-spd, or 4.10's Auto)
2nd-H or X pipe, off-road if possible
3rd-Pulleys

The K&N and silencer are cheap and common 1st mods, before the ones listed above. I just named the first three that I think are worth the money and made the most noticeable difference in power.

Other good mods include:
aftermarket shifter, Cold air kit, throttle body, cat-back.

These will make a small difference(not the shifter, of course), but they add up.

Then, there is the '99 head and intake swap that's good for about 45hp, but that's about $1000 for parts. Expect at least that much for install, too.

This should get you started...
