Re: want more pep for cheap?????????
Free up the exhaust with a hi-flow cat and u-bend delete, then add better induction with smaller S/C pulley (3.5" or 3.4") with supporting mods including reprogrammed PCM, 180 t-stat and colder heat range plugs. If you want to go further, then you're going to have to spend bigger money for things like headers, true cold air intake (not one of those cheesy cone filter and polished intake tube pieces of junk) or open up the engine and install longer ratio rocker arms, beefier valve springs, etc.... I would also strongly suggest installing a trans shift kit to help it handle the higher power levels.

Re: want more pep for cheap?????????
what kind of power increase would you be looking at with the u-bend delete, aftermarket cat-back, reprogrammed PCM, new plugs, and say a 3.5 or 3.4 pulley, and whatever other supporting mods that are recommended?

That will put you close to 300hp or maybe even better. Hopefully one of the modded
GTP owners will chime in with their personal gains.

Re: want more pep for cheap?????????
Not sure I've got that much Rich. But I dont have a cat back.
I'd say maybe 280 topps. I've never had it dyno'd (I'm afraid I'd blow the trans)
