I am looking at a list of mods I would like to eventually complete for my 00 GT, DP, front powerlog, catback system(maybe), bigger TB with spacer, PCM and maybe the intake insert. My question is, is there a point where the stock injectors will need to be upgraded?

Go top swap its the best bank for the buck

Not on a gt. You would have to top swap it or turbocharge it to need bigger injectors

A bigger throttle body and spacer are useless, you won't ever outflow them.
Only use a spacer if you plan to use NOS or meth injection.
Your NA car won't be able to max the fuel injectors with those mods.

But you didn't answer his question

Thank you that helps alot

If you decide to top swap it, I have a harmonic balancer for sale for supercharged 3800's

I've have always been interested in the idea of the top swap but the amount of work seems daunting. In my browsing I remember seeing a sticky or complete write up on the swap but cannot seem to find it. Anyone help?

Look in the l36 section of engines

It was right in front of my face, got it.

I have a sale thread in the classifieds if you want more info.

Is it safe to say that this is way over priced?

Ye ah that's way over priced you can go to your local junk yard and pick up the head, blower and balancer for way less. Then get all the gaskets for about 150 and a few hours of your time then you can have more power

You could probably find a used set of ported heads on here for about 500, stick an xp cam in it and enjoy the 300+ horse power at your wheels

ok, I have been offered a ported S/C and TB plus balancer and oil filter relocater kit for 800, what is ballpark for rest?

I guess to begin with, my motor has 128k, would a top swap be smart?

you could get a set of stock L67 heads for 150 shipped, or find a local junkyard and should be able to get both heads for 100. then you would need the lower intake manifold, and that would be about 50. you would need to swap out your map sensor for an L67, probably find one of those for 50, then you would need a set of L67 injectors, and those would be about 40 or 50. then if you wanted to really make your top swap shine, you could add an XP cam, a new one is about 325, a set of 130 lb valve springs for 100, valve seals are about 20, valve cover gaskets are about 20, and modified valve spring retainers are about 20, and a new set of valve locks are about 20. you would need a double roller timing chain which is 130 for a new one, a machined oil pump cover for 40 or something. and that should just leave you needing all the gaskets necessary when changing all the parts.
you would also need headers to maximize the airflow. you can get a new set of speed daddy headers for 250.
at some point you will need some transmission work.
someone correct me if im wrong.
edit for additional info: a top swap at that mileage is fine.

http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...r+adapter+seal for the oil
http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...anifold+gasket for the lower intake manifold
then you got engine oil, new head bolts and coolant plus belts soo maybe 250 bucks left in parts
