Hey all this is my first thread so sorry in advance for any newbie mistakes. Im looking into getting my first muscle car and am interested in mods. Im looking at a 04 GTO m6. I ultimately want it to be 13 second car. Im interested in bolt ons that would achieve this. Also, I have read that putting performance headers on a street car is illegal. Any explanation on this would be awesome, or how to get around this. Moderate budget not to exceed 3k, will be doing the work my self. Thanks!

1st) you want your GTO to run 13sec 1/4 mile? DONE. your car is 13sec stock lol... As long as you know how to drive you are there.(I dnt mean to be a D*ck)

2nd) what state you from? You can get away with LTs in some states I believe... How can u get around it??? A dirty smog job lol...

3rd) if you have 3k. Buy LTs, new exhaust, intake and TB. So later down the road you will have supporting mods for a H/C/I setup

Goodluck buddy

I believe he has a ls6 intake already...I'd do everything he said minus the intake and put a cutout also some gears

My cousin lives in NC. You have to pass an emissions test from what he's told me. Do some research to see how they do it. If they do a visual you won't pass, if all they do is plug something into your OBDII then you could get away with it if you have the codes tuned out.

^^^ I was talkn about FAST setup... So later when he does H/C/I he will be ahead of the game.

If you do still have LS6 intake you can sell it for $350... That mean you would only pay $500 out of pocket for a NEW FAST92!!! Of course you still need a TB to match the 92... But after you sell your stock TB(keep your sensors) you will have a few bucks to put upwards a Nick Williams...

You can use your stock fuel lines and injectors from your current intake to put on the FAST92

For 3K to put into a GTO I would do:

Tires $400
GMM Ripshifter $4 to $500
Svede intake $450
P/P TB $50
Headers $500 (you can go either shorties or LTs for that money, entirely up to you)
Mail order tune $150

So thats around $2000 give or take a couple hundred, I posted new prices you can find some items used or deals online. For your goals the stock dual exhaust shouldn't need an upgrade. But the mods I listed will be the best bang for the buck combo and will easily be a 13 second car.

Forget the TB, it's worthless...and if all he's doing is a 3k update now and that's it it would be pointless to set himself up for H/C/I if he's never going that far.

For 3k, if all you want is power do headers, cam package tuned and a short throw. Any money leftover invest in some basic suspension mods like springs and bushings.

Or supplement cam for some gears.

^^^ I should have been more clear... When I said buy a intake and TB... I meant buy the 92 setup. In that case a TB wouldn't be worthless... Buy mandatory.
