From the research I've done 60# injectors are overkill and 42.5# injectors are all you'll need until you get into turbo applications.

You're right and wrong at the same time. 42s will typically be fine on almost any blower build using pump gas, 93 octane.

I plan on going e85 next spring, and with my build, 42s will not hold up to the fuel demand that e85 requires. So in that case, I'm getting 60s.

Here's some fall photo's I took of the car the other day:









This one might be my favorite:

This car needs a retrofit with halos badly

Thanks man.

I'd have to agree, it doesn't get much better for pictures than this.

Meh. I wouldn't mind retrofits, but they are just too expensive. I'd rather put that money else where, like converting to e85.

It's nice to put a face with some names, lol. There's a lot of stupid in some of them though.

I totally agree with both statements. So many people from GPF are on those groups and you can finally see who you've been talking to for years lol. But almost every single post is stupid. So many idiots, it blows my mind.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP - Transmission Cooler, Installed.

HEY.

THAT.

IS.

ME.

I'm the smart guy.

Those groups are full of max laughs.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Transmission Cooler, Installed.

So much cancer in those groups. I'm apart of them but I sty far away. Barely even use Facebook to begin with.

Re: 1997 Black GTP - Fall Photos.

Havent posted on GPF in weeks. Small update I guess.

Gave the car a nice Polish and Wax, will do one more Wax before winter sets in:












In the sun, like glass:






And have to include Gas Cap rust here, but the paint looks killer:


Finally picked up the new winter rims. Before:


After:


I hate ZZP wires. Gave me nothing but troubles and misfires. Went back to stock wires.


Came off the plug and melted on the header. This is the second time:


I also picked up a new painted from bumper. The ad was misleading and said it was OEM with the arrowhead indentation between the grilles. Really wanted that. When I received it, no indentation and paint was kinda half-assed. Paid $300 for it. Ended up getting a $150 refund and kept the bumper after talking with the company.

I might try to create my own arrowhead indentation with my dremel, and really give the front bumper a good polish and wax to help remove any minor imperfections. Still looks better than the current bumper I have now, because I've been hit in the front 3 times now in one month. Talk about furious.

Next, here's another pull video I did. Found out my TB was hitting the Northstar cable bracket when opening and only opening 75%. Car makes 12.5psi on the 3.1 pulley now. (Moved from the 3.0 as I was making 14psi and that was to high for me).

Moves pretty good, as I really have to ease into the throttle as I will just spin. Couldn't hammer it until 40+ mph:

LAST BUT NOT LEAST.... I've never considered selling my car so much as I have now. I'm completely over all the small things wrong with the car, (fighting a slight misfire like no other, and a new suspension problem). It's old with almost 200,000 miles. So I got a second job as a Welder & Metal Fabricator, so with more income I am highly debating parting out the car and pulling out a loan for either a 98 - 02 (2000+ Preferably) Trans Am WS6 or an 05-06 GTO.

The sytling of the Ws6 has my heart. Pure sex, even in stock form. GTO's are a bit newer, and have the LS2 which is quite big difference compared to the LS1. Either way, you can't go wrong with either motor. For power, Goat > Trans am. For looks, Trans am > Goat. It's a tough decision.

Go retro, buy something cool with a carb and some chrome. And fix that rotten spot before you go for top dollar selling that sharp black sedan.
