    Ok now that I'm done with the body I'm moving on to performance..
    I have most of the bolt on upgrades and I want to now get some serious hp out of this car.. Now the problem, I live in a small city and for a while won't have access to a dyno tune so I'd have to go on a bace tune from zzp for what ever cam and what not that I order so any thought on what the best set up that won't be as risky with out a good tune.. I was thinking a xpz cam or xp cam and stage 3 heads.. Will the fuel pump handle that build? Or will the rewire and hi flow filter be enough? So many questions but I'm not willing to spend the money blind and blow an engine, thanks

    get a snail

    go fast.

    destroy your transmission.

    destroy your tires.

    hate life.

    buy an F body.

    love life.

    Consider that you learned something.

    Live life.

    Why would you go through tires? I guess if you're a tool and think doing a smoke show makes you a big man? The tranny isn't an issue as upgrading it and adding 2500 or 2750 torque converter.. I'm not looking to do 1/4 mile runs or street race, I'm not a kid.. I want to add some nice HP because I can and it's like owning a gun, hardly ever use it but it's nice to know it's there when you need it
    By the way it's a 2000 gtp

    I would recommend the tranny first if you want to go big cam and heads.
