• 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.

97 GTP has hardly any power.

Lawlz.

This.

I can't even tell you how many times I've told the guy to at least read my safely modding thread...by his posting its obvious that he wants us to answer every question and build the car for him...which we can't physically do.
 


Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Don't do any mods and spend the $1,000 on cheap hookers and expensive wine :th_laugh-lol3:
 
Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Ive read your thread 3 times and just dosent answer my questions . It explains but its not a straight forward answer and im very machanicly inclined . I rebuild my motor in my gp and did motor swaps and tranny swaps and such soo im not dumb i just want answers from guys who have experience . Thanks .
 


Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Because there isn't a straightforward answer. That's just a guideline that happens to be very descriptive of what you want to keep in mind. IMO, get scan gauge, headers, intake, rockers, and tune with a pulley drop. That's what I'd do if I had a grand prix anymore.
 
Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

ROCKERS.

ARE.

for babies.

And you'll spend all that money and be left with wanting more.
 
Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

well a 3.4 setup leaves some money left over, we would all like a cam but last I checked it's about 1000 bucks right there for everything you need, in addition to the above mentioned stuff.
 
Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Wut?

You can get a gasket kit...for $200...a set of headers for less than $200...and a used XP or S1X for $200 or less...Then new LS6 springs are about 70 bones new...and retainers are no more...so...I've still got some cash left over...it's called SHOPPING around.

Around here your looking at $250 for a sexy one thats not over 30 lol and that doesnt include the clinic trip ($50).

On a side note I got a press on 3.5 I decided I dont want OP.... Think about it now
 


Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Well i personally wouldn't go for used engine components. Found my old shopping list thread and I was around $1600 total for headers, cam, tune, pulley, mufflers, shift kit, double roller (not including whatever is needed to be done to the sprocket) and at that Dave said the shift kit would just be to prolong the life of the tranny.
 
Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Don't need a double roller for a small baby cam like teh XP or S1X...waste of money there.
 
Re: Got 1000$ for mods. Please help choose

Preventative measures? I like to get stuff done while I'm in there.

P.S. don't bother me with my non-ported head, I had to consider just getting a valve job done.

3.3 is too small

voltage booster is garbage

if you have an android smartphone check out TORQUE before you blow the money on an aeroforce.

I found my O2 sensor on amazon by searching specific Denso part number for about 20 less too

basically your ZZP list is junk besides the puller...

the headers are a must though and will is one of the more respected tuners so that's ok.

do the plugs, colder tstat (180), build your own intake, order the headers, check out the possibility of porting your blower, pickup torque and a bluetooth OBDII module for 30 bucks, scan for KR and if safe start dropping pulleys. This will leave you with more than a few bucks to spare and is a safe and proper way to go about modding the car.
