2001 GT Mod Question
A son of a really good friend of mine is getting ready to buy a 2001 GT next week (back up north).
The car is 50k miles, automatic. They were questioning me for a mod list. The dad will help a little with mod money, however the son will be doing most of it, so it will be done in stages. Here is what I was thinking about: 1) 4.10 gears 2) Cat back 3) cold air intake and a plenum 4) Pullies 5) complete the exhuast (still have to have converters for Chicago area testing) but I was thinking headers and high flows. 6) custom tune This car will need to last the boy atleast 5+ years, and will be his only car, so no power adders will happen, and no internal mods. Figure this would be over about a 1-2 year process. What do you mod guys think??? |
Don't forget subframe connectors, springs, and shocks and struts...but other than that it sounds right to me. :nice:
|
With the lowering springs, make sure he adds a good set of CC plates and has it aligned.
|
wouldn't it need a tune right away to correct for the 4.10 gears
|
I would do SFC's instead of pullies

Can anyone confirm? The other thing that will happen that I forgot to list will be Cobra front brakes, this would probably be number 1 on the to due list. |
if its a auto then yes it will need a tune with the gear change. I am pretty sure that speed cals only work with 5-speed cars

If he will need to do the tune after the gears would ya'll suggest doing the exhaust/intake stuff first then? I am sure that they would like to only do the tune one time. |
Save the best for last. Gear after the front gets the bolt on's. Hope your gear goes on better than my last one. Took 2 days to get it out of there.

Personally, the tune would be one of the first things I did. Better gas mileage, throttle response, torque, hp,etc. Try to do it with the gear install and it will work well.
