Grand Prix Noob. Help?

[betz]

I just bought a 02 Grand Prix GT in perfect condition. Now I want to do some aftermarket stuff to it, but I have no idea about what's under the hood. What should I put in it? And how much am I looking at? thanks!

Hi.. welcome to GPF..... And first things first... Do a search and read and reread the safely modding your 3800 powered car thread.... It will save you tons of headaches and will answer most if not all of your questions..

Read, and read some more.

All questions you prolly have are on here.

And its a 3.8 liter, 9.5:1 compression motor. And normally motors take oil, runs anywhere from 20-30 bucks.

So would a tuneup pretty much cover everything before I mod it?
