Re: Cheap way to add horsepower?
It'd also help if I had a five speed manuel, I think... Does anyone know if I can change my transmition? Manuels are more fun anyways.

If you want a 5-speed, find a factory 5-speed. Transmission swap would be mucho work and expense. (Transaxle swap, clutch system, shifter and console replacement, some wiring changes, and of course computer changes so you dont get a constant stream of 'check engine' lights due to a missing juicebox.) Trust me on this one. Not going to be worth it on a PT. Sure a slushbox to 4-speed conversion works when you turn a slant-six-and-automatic Barracuda into a cloned Hemi-Cuda, but it aint gonna be worth it in a PT, Unless, of course, you are dropping in a Hemi.

Re: Cheap way to add horsepower?
well... there goes THAT plan, heh. Thanks for the advise.
I suppose if I'm going to upgrade my cruiser anymore I'm just going to wait and buy a base line GT with a manual already built in.

Re: Cheap way to add horsepower?
I looked at my 01 - only removable part in the airbox looked to be the White "Venturi" sort of looking plastic intake at the top...
I'm certainly no engineer, but are not veturis a kinda of good thing to have near intakes????? Cruiser3.jpg joe

Re: Cheap way to add horsepower?
Sorry to burst your bubble but neither an intake, exhaust or header is going to give you any more power you'll really feel. It'll make a nice sound, but that's about it. The PT non turbo is a great cruiser for driving around. Be happy you have some wheels to drive around in. Fast and Furious the non turbo isn't and never will be.
