Hey guys,
Well ive finally sold all of my Talons and got my self into some good old american muscle. Ive got a few questions about the car though. Firstly, what do people typically do to free up some more horsepower with these cars, like i know intake,exhaust and that shit but what else is pretty common. (the car is a 5spd) Also im going up to the drag races this weekend (its only 1/8 mile(shitty)) but what im wondering is what kind of tire pressure i should be using and if anyone can give me some other advice that would be great!
Thanks
Paul

I just bought myself is 98 gt too, first completely undertand your car condition, do the tune up and replace what ever part need to by fix before thinking about power. :wink:

Well it sounds like we come from the same backround Killa, i had 3 talons at one time now the DSM collection is down to 1, as far as a tune up actually it got one done yesterday, so right now the car is in near perfect condition.

Need to do a PI swap for the 96-98GT.

Yeah first you need to get rid of the NPI heads and intakes, you'll still need a power adder on top of a PI swap if you want to make anything quick though.

Im still not really understanding, you guys are saying i should replace the intake manifold with a Performance Improved one, how come? And how much money would that cost?
