what will a stock 98 gt 5 speed run?

Get some gears, a tuner, a CAI, an exhaust, and if you can drive, you should see some better times

I would start with buying the tuner first, yes its expensive, but it allows you to tune every mod you buy for you car and get the full potential out of it. Then get the gears for better acceleration.

That's what I was thinking it was

I just finished pi swap on my 96 gt 5spd. I ran a 14.6 stock and it has a heck of alot more power now. For the swap, you need H/C/I with, head gaskets, head bolts, intake gaskets etc. then its easy from there. There are write ups all over the net. And I did it by myself.

No tune yet. Runs perfect with good compression at all cylinders. I am trying to decide if I want Bama Pi tune and do some data logging with them to dial it in, or Jo at trick tuners and do the data logging.

They do make a canned pi swap tune from bama, but I doubt it will be enough without sending them some data logs.

higher RPMs, more gas. smartass
I get better gas mileage around town with my 410s, if any one is wonder about them or on the fence ask someone that has them, not some who just reads up about stuff and over analyze it

410s are the bees knees

Dude who owned my car put 3.73 gears in and had it tuned. I don't know if he went somewhere or did it with a handheld. After tooling through many of the threads on this forum, it seems like I should consider getting a handheld is a must, especially it your going beyond CA kits and cat back. I guess I better save up.

Wow really??? Is that how that works??? Oh except for when you are city driving and it gets you into the power band faster and you can cruise city streets in 5th gear...and the higher rpms is not that much higher...and neither is the gas consumption...yes it is more but not a lot. He was being serious not a smartass view the thread in my sig.

You already have more power then traction.
Good tires, good clutch, upper and lower control arms and aluminum driveshaft maybe some sub frames if you plan on serious power. HCI etc etc you won't get the most out of any of those power bolt ons with stock suspension parts.

what exactaly is the h/c/i??
I'm gonna go with heads/cam/intake. Although I think the cam might be something else but it's all I can think of with a c right now.

I thought about getting some but I love the stock 3.27 on the interstate I can run 90 turning 2,300 rpm
That's what my '92 GT had. I can tell a big difference in city driving with my Mach w/3.73's. It's more difficult to keep it from being jerky compared to the '92. But, I'm happy with 3.73 and feel like its the perfect compromise.
