Hi, Im Kingston, Im 19 and I own a 2001 Grand Prix GT Coupe which Ive given all my love and attention for the past 2 years. It has a rebuilt stage 1 3800 (ripped out of a lesabre) which is bored over by a tiny smidge. As well as a modified transmission with the kit that makes shifts harder and quicker. (I forget what its called.)
After the rebuild its felt a bit less snappy than I expected, and I blame injectors, as mine have 100k+ miles on them and they audibly tick from inside the cabin.
My intentions with everything I do to this car are to involve Pontiac's history in every aspect. For example; I painted my engine block Pontiac blue before I put it back in.
My dad owns a 1972 Grand Prix SJ with the rally pack, and I own a 1977 LJ which is pre-restoration at the moment, and waiting for abt 10k to be dumped into it.
My current mod roadmap is pretty simple: Fix some deer damage from a year and a half ago (replace bumper, fender, and bondo and repaint rear passenger quarter), replace my oil pan (dented - speed bump), get custom seats, build a retro style hood tacho for gits a shiggles, get some nice simple flatspoke rims, upgrade some parts to the stage 2 performance pack, and in the very distant future, install a turbo.
The only current problems I have right now, are like I said, its a bit tired, deer damage, and I have a CPS miscount that I think is from the buick camshaft that Im using. (I didnt do the stage 1 cam, I probably should.)
Oh also its got a really nice exhaust that I spent alot of time configuring to get the sound I wanted. My resonators are swapped for glass packs, and the mufflers were chopped in favor of single chamber 44 clones. You can find a clip of my exhaust here:

Anyways, heres a picture, I dont have many good ones of it in its current state.
