https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=214&catid=113 is the link to the HV3. The Butt Dyno shows noticeable gains, the ears say there's a difference, and the fuel efficiency math tells of better flow. Couple that with a CAI, and you should be a happy camper. The gasket kit I bought was from the dealership. Expensive, but I was sure that it was the updated gasket version. not the greatest of write-ups, but the pics start on this page, follow the link: http://www.grandprix.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=003975;p=4 The HV3 is a flat piece of plastic, the UIM insert is flawed, at best. Now's as good a time as any to get a pic posted up. I'll do that today.

Or don't waste your time with a dp/powerlog and get a used set of headers and see even bigger gains.

You all are great thanks for the help and tips, There's a few gp's in the jy's around hear I am sure I can find some good used headers. but I will keep my ears/eyes open for any on sale/for sale on here, be a while before I can get them, though, got to get this engine together first, attacking it little at a time, here and there.

I doubt you're going to find any headers on a junkyard car. No one mods these things, so there is a very small chance to find them out of the blue.
