• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Looking for a tuner in Minnesota

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for someone that has experience tuning Grand Prix's in Minnesota, preferably in the Twin Cities metro. If push comes to shove, anywhere in MN or WI would be alright. Does anyone have a good shop or private party to recommend? From what I have heard, most shops have...

    Car Won't Idle Until Hot

    Alright guys, this is my last problem I a having with the 2000 GTP. The car will not idle at all without giving it gas when cold. Doesn't even try to catch itself, it just dies immediately. When up to temp however, it takes about 10-15 seconds to catch itself on startup, then it will idle...

    DHP Compatible Hardware?

    Hey guys, not sure if this should be in the tuning thread since it is not specifically a tuning question... But I am looking into getting some tuning software, and would like to give DHP a shot. My only problem is that I don't have any hardware to connect to the OBDII to a laptop. My question to...

    Sloppy Shifter

    Hey guys, my 2000 GTP has a very sloppy shifter. When I drive the old man's GTP, every time you move the shift knob from say R > N, or N > R, you feel a solid response, as though there is a latch it snaps into. Whereas on my car, I can almost freely push the shifter up and down the gears without...

    Bunch of Performance Questions...

    Alright guys, hopefully the last of my questions for ya in the seeming endless journey to come as close as we can to perfection with our cars. I only get 8 PSI of boost, on a gen V blower with a 3.1" pulley, I have either the equivalent of either the X-P Hot or the NIC from ZZP... I don't...

    Turn the Key - Everything Shuts Off

    When I turn the key to try and start my GTP - everything shuts off. Dash lights, stereo, everything. Even when the car is on a jump starter - so it isn't the battery. Also, the starter won't turn over at all - except when we jump the solenoid... Then the starter turns over, but the bend spring...

    Valve/Piston Question

    Simple question here - I am changing the valves in my GTP, they all got bent. Can I take the valves from a set of N/A heads, and drop them into the supercharger heads - or are they different valves? Also, when the valves hit the pistons, there was a small chunk taken out of each one. I am...

    Car Turns Over Freely - Doesn't Start

    Alright fellas, a new problem has arisen. My 2000 GTP died today on the highway all-of-a-suddenly and it will not start back up. There was no noticeable knocking or anything, however the RPMs were fluctuating going down the highway from about 2200-2400. When you turn the engine over to try to...

    TCS Stuck Off, DIC Blinks, Left Headlight Blinks, Fogs Don't Work...

    Yet another thread for the ol' 2000 GTP. I am having a few electrical issues, and I have no idea the cause. 1) My DIC blinks intermittently, I'm guessing I should just try to find a new one? 2) My left headlight flickers in and out while at idle, doesn't seem to really to it while driving...

    Car Turns Over - No Ignition

    Alright guys, new problem on the 2000 GTP. The car turns over, the fuel pump whines when you turn the key, but the car will not start up - there is no combustion. I checked all the fuses, and they are fine. Spark cables are all plugged in correctly, so I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

    Oil Leak Worse After Shutting Car Off?

    Hey everyone, my 2000 GTP is leaking oil, but I'm not sure where it is coming from. On one of my valve covers (the rear cover - closest to the cabin) there are three stripped bolts from the previous owner - so I'm guessing that is where the leak is. However, it seems that when I first shut the...

    Codes and Dying

    Hey everyone, I have a 2000 GTP that is throwing the MAF code and misfire code. It runs alright sometimes and runs very rough or just flat out dies other times. I am going to swap out the MAF when I get home, but if that is not it - does anyone have any other ideas?

    Top Swapping and Spark Plug Question

    Alright ladies and gentleman, as you may have read in my other thread, my engine rebuild on the 3800 Series II did not work, engine blew again. Cracked a piston pretty badly. Took the engine apart, and one of the rod bolts was loose. Probably because we reused the stock bolts. Anyways, I found...
