    so im going to be graduating high school the 12th, then im going to start working full time. so this is when im gonna mod my GTP a lil bit more. i dont want to spend all of my money, just some so im not looking into heavily modding "yet". i also have my 1952 p/u project so not all my money is going into my GTP and i will be saving alot of my money. so what other mods do you think i should get?

    this is whats on my list already
    :
    Gen 5/V (already have, not installed)
    ZZP fuel logs
    pace setter headers (dont want to go cheap with SD or SSAC)
    tuned PCM (but from where?) "after i have all my mods i will get it tuned"
    180* tstat
    plugs (depending on what mods i have i will decide what heat range then)
    i have a MPS hub (no pulley yet, will decide what size to go with after my mods)
    and i have a CAI from SLP (i know open cone is cheaper but i have a CAI no not gonna change)

    so what more do you think i should get?
    installing is not a problem i work in a shop and i have a good friend who is good with GP's who helps me alot.
    not looking to go intercooled "yet"
    not looking to get to crazy where im gonna need a built trans, maybe later lol

    im thinking springs and rockers (but not sure what ones)
    and what else maybe? im open to any ideas tell me what you think

    3.6 and 3.5 pulley might be best there for your genV.

    As far as tuning goes, see if someone local to you tunes. Nothing beats a true street tune made just for your car.
    Whine with your Cheese?
    Stock+Self Tuned. Going for low 14's everyday.

    yea i could probably find some one around who can tune it. i know i can drop to low on a GenV so what you said sounds about right. a few mods i forgot to list were aeroforce interceptor scan gauge and a wideband

    Good call. A wideband will help getting the best tune possible.
