Bang for the Buck

Hey people I just wanted to ask you, I have a 2002 GT with automatic transmission with a Diablosport chip. I wanted to know what would be the best mods for less money... I am thinking about a Magnaflow X-Pipe and Cat-Backs, maybe a MAF, Throttle Body and 4.10 Ring & Pinion... What do you think about that? Is there anything better?

Seems like you are already on the right track. I think most people will tell you what you have plans for is fine.

Great, thx man, but I am going to probably need to reprogram my chip won't I?

Yes you will need to reprogram it. Forget the throttle body, go with MAF, UD pulleys, and timing adjuster..

There is no point in a timing adjuster if you have a chip.

I am now thinking of adding a C&L intake plenum, and I think that this in addition to a 75 mm throttle body and a MAF will really help... What do you think?

The 75MM TB didnt help me at all before I put on a blower, now I see a big difference between the stock TB and the 75. I'd say go with MAF and Ring and pinion. I just had 3.73 installed and love em'. I may pick up that plenum up in the near future.Sean Hyland Motorsports has a plenum and intake 70mm for sale that they claim 11 HP gain with no loss of torque. Diablo should just be able to reflash your existing chip for MAF and speedo change.

get exhaust and the 4.10s, skip the maf, and pull the chip and have it reburned to fix the speedo and shut off the MIL if you're getting an o/r X.
