Ok so I have been looking and looking and looking for parts for my car. Over and over and over again. I have a 2005 pontiac grand prix. Just the good old 3800 series 3 motor. It is ok on speed but not enough for me. I want more. I love speed. If you guys could please help me and tell me some quick ways of making this thing go faster. I dont know what motor I have and what not. Can you guys help me out. My warranty is almost up and when it does im ready to go.
thanks
 


Agreed^^^^Then find you a good scanner that'll scan for kr, cause most go fast mods are gonna give you some.
 
After cia and exhaust, probably a cam and some intake manafold work. Headers, down pipe, pcm. That should get her rolling pretty good. Whata think Street?

Going to have to do some head work along with whatever cam he chooses too, although I'm sure he already knows that.

Sounds good to me though, just depends on what his definition of 'fast' is and how far he's willing to go to achieve it.
 


Yea, if he wants to spend the money he could always go with a top swap or turbo set up. Not cutting you out of the conversation snap on, just bouncing my ideas of Street wolf and giving you ideas at the same time.
 
well if he's looking for something with decent mpg and still some power just do a top end swap with the m90, im thinking that might work for him, unless he wants to go big power(Turbo time).
 
If it was me and I was going to spend that much money, I'd go for the turbo and get more out of it than a s/c.

I feel the same way man, after driving a 380+ bhp Charger I need more speed out of my Grand Prix, probably a CAI and a new PCM to start out with, after that I wouldn't know what to tell you.
 


yea. go with the turbo setup, you can go much father with it and if you wanna tone it down you have a controller unlike the s/c. i wish i could just change boost levels that easy.
 
well i can now fully open the passenger side door. i got alot of the dents out of the rear, but the rear right of the body was bent down and in so i got alot there. im going to my buddys next weekend to get out the roof dent and im gonna take it from there. ill get more pics and compile them at the end for a hopefully decent body job. (for anyone wondering, yes im still doing mods to the car, just cause it has a lil body damage doesnt mean anything, i made a mistake and learned from it like everyone else.)
 


oh i am clawing my way to get this thing done. i used to love looking at it and now i get in it so i dont have to. i still dont know what to do when i get it repainted...any suggestions (red and black or somethin)
 
im gonna keep a base of red and do something like shawns red turbo'd gtp he had. i loved that car. Hey i bought a set of the polished 5 spokes (sellin mine for some workin cash, he sold his cheap) and i was wondering if they would look any good painted gloss black on a red body? (i should probably move this to apperiance haha)
