How many miles are on the car? What condition is the drivetrain in? If
you've got $3,000 to blow.. I'd look into supercharging the car... maybe
6-9psi intercooled. It's a 302 & I know that blowers for 302's are generally
less expensive than those for 281's.. check http://www.jegs.com/
http://www.summitracing.com/ http://www.ebay.com/ (DO NOT GET ELECTRIC
SUPERCHARGER LOL!). I'd look into a Vortech or Paxton supercharger for that
price range. Avoid Powerdyne!! If you can fork over more, I'd say Kenne-Bell
supercharger hands down.

If supercharging isn't the route you want to go... there are several engine
options you have (others will chime in). You could also build the suspension
quite a bit. Or, my favorite option, send me the money =).

If you have the money to spend, by all means, supercharge it!
the 3.73's are a good idea.
the guys will tell you about subs and braces.

Depending on the type of blower you select, and what you plan on using
the car for, you may not want to go with 3.73s.

A Roots type + street tires + 3.73s = equals lots of tire smoke.

Roots or twin-screw at that! 3.73's + street tires = lots of tire spin for
me right now... damn tires are bald. I need new ones, but can't afford 'em.
I'm gonna save up a bit to get some real good ones this time around.

$3000.00's FOR HORSES
 
Can someone tell me what should be the first few steps taken towards adding
power to a 94 gt convertable. I have a very few goodies already and looking
at dropping around $3000.00 in the next 2 weeks on the car. I currently have
a cold air intake, 40 series flowmaster's, mac headers, and this week
looking at 373's installed. All advice is greatly appreciated.

Ignore Bev's post. He/she is a dumb****. Get a compression test done first.

Actually, get a compression *and* a leak-down.
