Most HP for the Bucks
I have a 99 GT with 4.10s off road h pipe underdrive pullys and a k&n filter the car runs about 13.50s. What could I do to make the car run mid to low 12s with out spending over 1200 dollers?

get some Drag Radials! I've seen them cut .4 off of people's times. How do you feel about long tube headers? You'd have to change your H-pipe around if you did that, but it definately would open up your exhaust, and then add the TB and Plenum to open up your intake and a nice tune. If you went with all this you'd probably spend over $1200 though. I would definately consider DR's though.

I would also agree on the nitrous but i would go with an NOS dry kit 05116. but working with what you already have, I would add a set of slicks, L/T headers, 75mm TB and Plenumn. and maybe a 80mm MAF, doing some smart shopping you should be able to get them all for $1200. Search the used classifieds. With slicks alone you should now be in the high 12's..

dry kits rely on the computer too much imo. if you use a window switch and a WOT switch you will be fine. NOS is a brand, only ricers call it NOS, you can call it spray, squeeze, juice, laughing gass, ect. but it's not NOS.

JayC who posts here and at MD is a great example. He has an 01 (I think) he has minimal mod's, pullies, 4.10's and exhaust. With a 100 shot NX wet kit and Goodrich drag radials he has gone as fast as 11.5's @ 115. I have a video somewhere I shot of him at Beech Bend last fall.

Yes, if handled correctly, nitrous can be as safe as a stock car. Ive heard of people that did a WOT nitrous spray on an emissions test and came back cleaner lol. Anyway, thats the only way to get into the 12's like you want for that small amount of money, you just have to know when, and how to use it. Its no worse than a blower, but you should definately not get cheap with it. Like stated, window switch, bottle heater, and fuel pressure safety switch are some great things to have. The bottle heater isnt so much for safety, but it keeps the bottle pressure where it needs to be to make your system as effective as it should be. Good luck with it, and be safe with it. Oh and I second the drag radials thing. All the horsepower in the world does you no good if you cant hook it up.

Yea, and even with all of that, its still more than 1200 bucks, if you figure, 550 for gears, install, and speedcal, and catback 350 at the cheapest, and then 140 for a timing adjuster, and then 350 at least for the et streets...

I had the noszle system, too many tuning issues with it so i switched back to the dry kit..the problem with the nosle kit is that the nitrous is injected right in the direct path of the tip of the spark plug and will often cause spark blowout in some cylinders..do a search of this kit over at MD or corral, alot of other users have had this same problem...
