I have a 95 GT and am planning on ordering a gen 4 3SGTE to swap into it. What other upgrades are the best value (as far as price obviously but also time/knowledge to install) to make the car faster? I don’t plan on a lot of hard launches from a standstill, I just want to be able to accelerate around these damn log trucks and not be playing chicken with oncoming traffic any longer than I have to. The car is a 5speed with the S54 which I plan on keeping. I’ll have a little under $2,000 to spend after I buy the motor, so let me know what you guys think would be my best options. It’s my first post so don’t make me cry!

Yes. The nickel and dimey crap ends up costing more than people realize.
Especially when you go restoring parts as you remove them. Scope creep is a b!tch. -------------------- ~bloodMoney

Ain't that the truth. I'm scared to go back and count up the money I have put into my project. But hey, if you want something pretty unique and something you're proud of... it's allll good. |
