You had 215 stock and theres about a 15% drivetrain loss of horsepower to the wheels, so you had about 185 at the wheels. Ive seen some of the non-pi engines react very well with bolt-ons and others not so well. Most of the people opt to upgrade to the PI setup with new heads, intake, ect for about a 40-50hp gain which is where the 230 number is that I gave you. If not, you are probably just under 200.

Yeah i would say close to 200HP to the wheels. The tune with your mods now might give you some more HP, depends, anywhere from 5-15HP
The PI heads would boost your HP alot, the PI heads and cams help to flow more air and the exhaust side is better, not to mention you have alittle more compression ratio also, that helps. then you could have around 2500-260HP to the wheels, def get a tune then.

why not tell us how much you want to spend and we'll see what we can figure out for you. Otherwise, we're all going to say, "get yourself X" and you'll say, "No it's too expensive" and nothing will happen.

i would save up and work on getting the PI head swap done. Its a much better investment than any bolt on for you right now. That or add some nitrous.

IM sorry to say they dont. thats what they made at the flywheel which sucks power wise, but they just need the better heads and intake and they will fly. Most stock auto 99-04 GT's make that to the wheels stock.

Why would they be bad? you cna run any gear on the bottle it doesnt matter. Traction in 1st and 2nd might be awful on street tires but they work great together when you have good tires.

The swap requries all the front accessorys to be taken off the front timing cover off and then the intake, heads,valve covers etc.. this is just basic info here there is alot to it.

Its a good 2 day ordeal really.

4.10's and nitrous, i've seen cars redline it in 4th right before the trap on 1/4 mile tracks, will depend on what shot you are using and your mods.

Get used Pi heads on ebay, really cheap now. PM me about PI heads if your looking for some. Then get the PI intake. If you know what your doing, it'll take you the weekend to do it, if you don't, alot longer or get someone to do it. The intake gaskets for PI also.
