Thanks sir! I need the windows tinted because with the guage there it's kinda hard to see sometimes, but its good for now.

i ordered all 4 moog sway bar end links off amazon and found a prosport boost gauge for cheap I picked up too. Probably gonna change oil n do plugs n wires tomorrow. I've had em for a while but was gonna wait till I install my headers to just do it all at the same time but my ses light came on for cylinder 2 missing so I might as well do it all now!

Yeah man I got ya, I have my days where I say I don't wanna do it by myself. I just did my springs by myself with just write ups from here. And it was a real pain just for little stupid reasons. I'd just rather have someone there to give me a second opinion and think out problems haha. I'm good at directions n definitely a hands on person so I'm probably capable of doing it. I would take my time too to make sure it's done right. I want to get rid of the ubend too but I have a shop for that. I just need to boss up n do it. I need a garage for that tho n it needs to get warmer first cuz I don't wanna break any bolts. You do yours alone, n do you have that kind of experience?

always been hands on....but like I said....study the install if need be, prior....take ya time....it's easy to take sh*t apart, most ppl *uck up putting stuff back together, ha....

only PITA was the rear header, wish I had a 2nd person....btw 04+ don't have "U-bend"...even though SD Headers have a slight one.....if you need a cat to pass visual, get a custom weld along with the cat to eliminate it....

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Haha I did a little one! Bought all 4 new moog end links for $100 off amazon , picked up a prosport boost/vacuum gauge! Haha didn't do much today haha. I need help setting up my boost on my AF tho..I can't get it for the life of me. I don't understand all the abreviations n slang of scanning yet lol. Any suggestions. Pm me if it'll be a long one. My elevation is 610 n idk how to set it all up. I been searching all day and posted on the AF forum but no luck yet.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Gotta hold down both buttons on the AF and should have a list of items and you just select the ones that you want to show and then use either the left(displays on the top) or right (displays on bottom) and scroll through until what you want is showing.

Does that make any sense because I've been doing some drinking.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Lol hahah. Yeah I figured out how to set em to read them n stuff. What abreviation os vaccum/boost under then? Because mine doesn't have a boost or bst. I set my altitude to 610 just now but I cant find the boost. N if I do barometer pressure it just says 1
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

I want to say boost is under...boost. Literally I believe thats what it's under. Go under the menu and make sure you have a * besides boost so it can display as you choose what to display.
 


Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

the car is coming along great. What are the next mods that you plan to do?
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Hopefully he turbos and or cams and IC it and then turns it to a rwd..



at least thats what Im hoping he does.

Thanks man, n my plans are to get the headers on, get a pcm from will at overkill and drop the pulley to 3.6-3.5 depending whats best! N then just aesthetics as time goes on. Lmao redcompg them sounds like youre plans and youve got it all figured out! Hahah
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

No turbo for me..put to much $$ into the SC setup. IC will probably happen sometime once i'm working again and have the spare $

Haha nice..id like to see that. I havent even debated anything else than pulley drop n tune cuz idk ish about motors
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

No car payments now FTW so ill have a extra $348 in my pocket every month when I do start working again so hopefully IC will eventually come :). Read and read and sometimes you gotta get hands on and learn **** by yourself. the 3800 is rather simple thank god for pushrod motors.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

Haha all I do is read bro. It pisses my gf off cuz im always on here. But i havent looked into an IC or anything that seriosu n a buddy said his cam install is costing a **** ton n im strait on that. Im not a big racer or anything just trying to have a little fun. N I agree with being the hands on type person. Just not good when its your dd n gotta have it if something goes wrong or longer than anticipated lol.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged (Lowered, Rims & Aeroforce)

The price for a cam install is ridiculous I wouldn't pay that. If you ever have done a LIM job on our cars yours pretty much a few steps away from doing a cam install. Unbolt a few more things and drop the subframe on the passenger side and pull the cam out that way. Give yourself a weekend and you can get it done :) but yea if it's your DD and you dk what your doing I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
