Mike

post up some pics and we will give u some input

do you want engine mods? or just appearence mods? and btw delete your other thread, no need for same thread twice.

i want to do both on it, and it wont let me delete it

you have to edit post
then delete it

btw... #3000 sorry ... i would do your engine mods first

well what are engine mods i can start off with, to eventually get to bigger mods?

Supporting mods for a 3.4" pulley:

CAI/FWI
U-bend delete
3" D/P
PCM
180* T-stat (drilled prefered)
1 heat range cooler plugs (copper core prefered)
A scanner is highly recommended in order to monitor the KR that will be introduced with the smaller pulley.


would be a good start

for a scan gauge i would recomend an aeroforce gauge they sell them at pfyc.com

first thing, i have no idea what any of that means? and second where do you find those mods?

Thats why you are here to learn about them:)

haha thanks

there is a good start ...

also try getting new plugs, wires

what size pulleys should i get? im not to sure what size i have right now..

now u have the 3.8.. you need to get all of the mods i listed a bit ago ... then once you have them you can go to a 3.4 safely

so before i can go bigger pulleys, i need those mods?

actually its smaller pulleys and yes you NEED those mods ... if you go any smaller its like turning your motor into a time bomb but yes first i would start out with the 180 thermostat and a ubend delete, then work your way to a pcm you should notice a little diff. with every mod

ok and i can get all that from that site?

yes you can ... i put links for everything you should need depending on the cash you have you can get all at once or work your way there

ok thanks and for like body mods, where would i go for that stuff? i need like badges and new bumper, headlights, tailights, etc...

headlights... ebay
bumper ... google search ... ed morad he has tons (or visit ebay stores)
tail lights ... ebay
badges ?? what style of badges

www.pfyc.com
www.zzperformance.com
www.wbodystore.com

just a few

im looking for new ones or i just might de-badge it.. and how do i get in touch wit ed morad?

ok thanks, is there any like anual car shows or meets for grand prixs? like anywhere in the u.s.?

Here's a question for you......
I notice the tint and the clear corners. Is that your work?
If you just acquired the car and it has noticable modifications to it, I would have to question if there has already been work done under the hood, and to the suspension. No need to spend the time and money on something that has already been done for you.

i got the car about 5 months ago and yes it did come wit the tints and the clear corners. but there is nothing under the hood, my dad actually put a new motor it in for me cause when i baught the car he said the motor was good and then a month later it blew, so my dad just put a new one in. so now im going to mod the whole car.

watch out for the mod bug, its a PITA.

Ok, so you got a new motor, but the Supercharger is still the same, so it may have work done, if not just a smaller pulley.
What about the PCM? You can't tell an aftermarket PCM unless you hook up a tuner.
What about the Down Pipe, Cat, and U-bend? That's all NOT part of the engine, that's the exhaust, and not a noticable Mod to the certified mechanic. All of these are mods that have been mentioned, but have nothing to do with a motor exchange.

I'm not saying that any of this has been done, but you might want to find a local member that can check this stuff out for you. You might find that a few things suggested have already been done.

You must have a deep wallet my friend.

dont let the bug bit ya, you will go broke fast haha

Welcome to the site and grats on the GTP.

Take a few minutes and puruse the FAQ thread at the top of the thread page and then mosey on over to the robandcatsworld link in my sig. That'll get you started in the right direction.

As for car shows for the GP not many if any at all that are GP specific. Their are a few "gatherings" via this website and clubgp.com. But your best bet is Pontiac specific car shows. Which are still far and few inbetween.

the s/c pulleys are stock and its a half-cat back exhaust but its a bad leak so i want to change the whole exhaust and i have a stock pcm, cause my dads friend put the motor in for me and everything was stock.

and yea i know im going to take it slow, and work my way up there, i want mine to eventually looks like everyones elses here. no one in my town or really even my state have this car, and i dont want a car that everyone else hooks up like vw's or evo's so i want this one to be done right so it stands out.

the motor could be swapped and u would still have the same PCM.

well the first motor blew, so i put a newer motor in and the the pcm is a stock one
