My 96 gt vert

[Truballa]

Alright well my dad traded away my 95 gt without my knowledge. He at least got a 96 vert gt with 17in cobra r's and new tires, it has dual flowmaster 44's and no leaks in the roof. I would like to know what would be some good intial mods to do to it with about 1500 bucks. thanks

Gears, some 4.10's are great to get our heavy ass verts moving quicker.

What are your plans for it?

A PI swap should be high on your list even if its just the Intake and Cams.

well im only in high school so my parents control what i buy pretty much. So they don't really want me to do to many engine mods but i will be able to some stuff over the summer hopefully. Other than that it already has cobra wheels and new bf goodrich tires. I'm thinking about getting a lightbar to use with the top down but i don't know. New cat-back, o/r x pipes, and headers. Thats about it.

A midpipe tends to wake our cars up pretty good as well.

Headers are kinda a big job for our cars. Its not like installing them on a 5.0. Just get underneath and look. There's a lot of work involved for a small amount of performance gain. Gears, cold air intake, larger throttle body and plenum, and a short throw shifter are great mods to start with.

I ran 4.11 gears for the last 2 1/2 years. I blew up the rearend 2 weeks ago and switched to 3.73's. I really like them. I don't think I lost any performance out of the hole but I know I gain a bit of pull on the highway. Also, they seemed to take the edge off on the highway and now I can cruise at 75-80 without going crazy.
