SE vs GT

[GTPSHAWTY]

so you guys are saying i should, do up the engine and leave the ugly se bumpers? i was thinking just get the gt front bumper side skirts and leave the se rear bumper but have duals coming out. not the oval tips(i think theye are) but nice round tips. idk what to do!!!!!!

keep the bubble bumper and put a sc on it

Naw...they quit putting the catfish bumpers on GP's for a reason.

Leave the catfish bumpers and TURBO IT!!!

Fitting an intercooler behind a catfish bumper would be dumbface.

Get a GT front bumper...snail it...get a big front mount...and keep the SE rear and run a single outlet TBE

if i turbo'd it would a gtp trans work with a regular 3.8? because im not sure if a regular trans would hold up to a turbo. well depending how much boost im getting. im not sure. but im going to have some fun next time i get my taxes done.

As long as your SE isn't a '97...your fine. The only major difference in the GT/GTP transmission from '98-'02 would be the gearing (Yours has 3.29 gears...vs. 2.93's)...and the GTP's have the Heavy Duty Differential.

Everything else is the same.

So, if it is in good shape...I think a stock SE trans could hold a small snail build for a few passes LOL
