    Just clear the codes first did you ever unhook that battery?

    Ive double checked that everything is plugged in. And all the wires look good. I also left the battery unhooked for 20+ minutes several times.

    I just realized texas speed sent me a 4x timing gear, and i put it on. Im pretty sure thats why it wont start. On the bright side though my throttle body works.

    I got the cam gear swapped out with the stock gear.I got everything put back together and the car fired right up. Its late so i only ran it for about a minute, but everything looks good.

    that thing sounds beastly, and for the record, I had my speakers set to 10 out of 100 and that was sufficient.

    I tried to get a better video to capture the lope of the cam. The audio is a little better, but still kinda choppy.

    Yep, preload is set. Once everything was all oiled up it was nice and quiet, no chatter.

    Finally after about a year and a half, the Grand Prix was able to get out of the garage. It was just nice enough that I was able to wash it. All I have left to do before I can drive it is install the TEP trans cooler, and get the new 3" exhaust mounted.

    I got the new wheels and tires put on the car. I went with hankook ventus v12 evo 2's. I put 255/45r18 all the way around. I love the look of the new wheels, and the fitment is perfect.

    I Tried to take the car for a quick trip down the road, but couldnt make it out of the driveway thanks to the snow. I managed to get my trans cooler installed as well.

    It is the stand alone max2 made by TEP. A little pricey, but it's a really nice kit.
