    I have a 03 GT. 208k miles. My car did overheat at 203k. I have sense had a coolant flush done. My coolant looked like a chocolate shake. drives fine everyday sense then. Sometimes it does still get a little hot but never above 210 on my temp gauge. (I have a 180t Stat installed) but my heat...

    Diamond cut pistons

    If my build is vs cam 3.4 pulley full exhaust under drive pulleys tune and water/meth injection kit would it be safe to run diamond cut pistons with compression ratio of 9.5:1 I know stock is 8.5:1. Found a killer deal on some unused pistons but I'm afraid the compression on them might be to...

    scanmaster ???? opinions on if it's worth it

    So as I was buying a scanmaster for my 87 regal t type. I noticed they also make one for 3800 vehicles. The scanmaster is a must have for the turbo Buick community to properly monitor our cars. But in the 3800 wbody community how often are they used and is it worth it

    water/meth injection kit. how good is it?

    So I was browsing on Craigslist looking at some gtp for ****s and gigs. I came across a somewhat modded one that had a meth/water injection kit. I was wondering how good are those for our cars. I also own a 86 turbo Buick and I know in that community meth injection is used a lot. But I haven't...

    So as I get closer to dropping my l32 motor from a 06 GP. I am growing nervous of wondering if I have all the correct parts. What pulleys can I swap over to the l32?

    SD header needs

    OK so I know I've asked a lot about headers. But I just wanna get this right. I'm buying Sd headers for my 03 with 06 SC engine swap. So I need to buy RTV with the headers. Double wall flex pipe. O2 extention. And what else. Maybe better clamps? Don't want any sealing issues

    PLOG vs headers.

    Okay so I'm doing a build on a SC series 3. And I already have a PLOG and 3 inch catted DP. Now zzp says that plog can only withstand 300 hp. But how come turbo guys use them? Obviously I'm missing something here. Anyways If it possible for me to keep my plog (I plan on a 300whp build) then...

    custom exhaust questions

    I got a pretty good price quote for a local custom exhaust shop in my area. I'm going with 2.5inch catback. With hooker max flow mufflers. I was wondering what inlet and outlet specs I need and if there is a preferred type of resonator I should use. I want to keep same exhaust tips I have just...

    completely lost on headers.

    Ok so I still don't know what to do With headers. I feel like a complete idiot because I keep asking but Idk what to choose. Every header choice it seems like does not come with a catted DP. Even zzp on there website says nothing about coming with a catted down pipe. TOG. Extra 320 on top of 789...

    header choices

    With my newly bought series 3 SC motor. I'm starting to look at go fast parts. And I'm going to start with headers. I was wondering what would be the best bet for my money.

    Just bought series 3 SC motor.

    I just bought a series 3 SC motor from a 06 grand prix. I know it's missing the fuel rails injectors and throttle body. But I got the motor extremely cheap. My plan is to top swap my current motor and get my transmission rebuilt (found a good deal from a reliable local source). I was just...
