GPF.com GXP Owner List - Post Up Here!

Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

I'm learning that......good thing its not costing me too much to keep at the moment, luckily I don't drive too far/much for work. I just wanted something different but the bf lets me drive his cars too :) I think I'll pay it off and keep it clean for a while and like a lot of people "its for sale for the right price..."
 


Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Built trans in mine is gonna keep it good for quite some time, mine barely has 60k on it.

And it's an '05. I know how bulletproof these LS motors are, and will disabling DoD right after buying it...I'm pretty sure with normal upkeep this thing should last quite awhile.
 
Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Oh yeah I noticed that how you liking the TEP? Mine is holding up awesomely, just hit 112k, 10k on trans

Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Not sure yet.

Cold as hell here; haven't got it installed.

LS6 intake and trans going in at the same time, so it'll be a whole different car I'm sure.

300M input shafts, 3.69 gears, 7/8" chain, chomoly pump shaft, blahblahblah...should be good for 400~ easy.

Dave told me it'd be good for a solid amount of spray too, so up to 500HP~. I might test that, loolllll.
 
Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

OOhh yeah good call on the input shaft and you got shorter gears then me too! def throw spray at it and see what it does. I noticed when I tuned it after the install and got rid of the DOD it drove so much smoother! Only thing is make sure you check the tranny fluid after a few miles after install, mine didnt want to fill up all at once...stubborn
 
Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Yeah, I do the jackstand run.

Row through the gears a few times. Drop it down, take it around the block. Bring it back. Row gears...kinda like bleeding PS fluid. Time consuming broad lol.

If youre gonna do the trans i would do a cam since everything is accesible

Lol our LS engines aren't bullet proof.....ask my lifters how bullet proof they are.

Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

I've never had a problem..:p:cool: but in reality no engine is bullet proof

My wife has not blown up 07 GXP yet. Although I have to ask the odds of it happening being the fact she is a great grand mother, who has never had a ticket, not even a parking one. Although she is a good person, when I use the adjective great, I mean shes old. :th_laugh-lol2: I could say it was driven by a little old lady to church on Sundays, except we drive my car.

The bad thing about these cars being fuel injected and and not carburetor, I don't have the excuse of taking it on the highway and blowing the soot out, like my dad use to do with my mom's 60 impala. I always made sure he took me with him.:)
 
Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Correction, never had engine problems, but I've been through one gxp tranny, and 2 z28 trannys
 
Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Depending on the sun and angle it's blue green and purple. I should of specified.

It's the transmission you really have to worry about anyways, not the LS-based engine.

Other than tuning it to get rid of Displacement on Demand. It's horrible.
 
Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

Theres alot of issues in stock form for these transmissions but im a firm believer in preventative maintenance. You get the tune. You disable tc lockul till 4th gear increase line pressure and tcc duty cycle. Get a shift kit and cooler. And you have youreself a trans that can at least go way longer.
 


Re: GXP owner list only(GXP home grown style )

I have mine still...but need to get rid of it :(

Poor girl just got caught on the wrong end of a car purchase and layoff...
