I have a 01' Gtp still in warranty. My mods as of right now are as follows: 3.4" pulley, Wizaired CAI, Dynomax Exhaust w/ U-bend removed, Ngk TR6's, Throttle body screen removed, 160 stat. My ? is do I get a DHP PCM or 1:9 to 1 rocker arms next? I don't want to get the PCM because of the warranty but I think it would help. As for the rockers they will give 25 whp which is way more then the PCM. Tough decision, please help....

After you get your PCM, put a 3" D/P next on your list, you'll need it.

Just wanted to brag... got my Jimmy C DP in today. But, I won't be able to get it install 1-2 weeks. Don't have time and I want to get my GMPP Handling Kit, brakes and maybe rotors done next week. If I only had more money....

The stock D/P might be the most restrictive part of the exhaust. The stock D/P can be the cause of as much as 4* KR, if you have a 3.4" pulley on your blower. Replacing the stock D/P with a 3" D/P will allow the car to breath much easier. Here is who I got mine from. His sight is informative about the D/P. The 3 things that I've done to my car that I really got some gain from, were the 3.4" pulley, PCM and the D/P. If you're going to install a 3.4" pulley, you will need to also install a PCM and D/P to get the most bang for your buck out of the pulley. If you do a pulley without a PCM and D/P, you don't have a clue as to what you're missing. 3.4" pulley = waking up with a glass of water. Pulley/PCM/DP = waking up with a cup of strong coffee.

I would wait to get the D/P installed anyways, atleast until you get the handling kit in. When you install the front sway bar, flip it left to right. This way your D/P won't be rubbing against your sway bar. Right Canadian? BTW framos... did you get the GenI or GenII flex joint, or do you know? From what I read on his site, the GenII doesn't whistle.

Austin is right a DP should be a priority and when you remove the stock DP you will see why ,saying its a total piece of crap is an understatement ,another part of the exhaust you should consider is the stock exhaust mnflds either get some decent PEM's or headers.
