    I can't count the number of times I have said that.

    7 Grand Prixs later... Here I am again.

    I've already owned about 7 collectively. I think I've met my limit. Shea and Nick made sure I went passed it.

    Haha, you guys are very persistent with turbo builds. I can't help but consider it at this point. I was just thinking for reliability purposes the top swap would be better but it looks like it can go both ways. I found a place today called BonnivellesUnlimited that sells a kit for $400 so I am considering that right now. Yeah a stock GTP isn't fast anymore, but I had a stock one before this Regal and miss it dearly. I felt like even stock that car had enough power to hang with most everyday commuter cars that you see in traffic. Plus you have the option of swapping the pulley, exhaust mods, etc.

    What kind of tuning do you guys recommend? My friend said I don't need to buy an L67 PCM. Sorry for all the basic knowledge questions but trying to figure this all out.

    You don't need to buy a PCM, get HPTuners or DHP and tune it yourself. It's not too complicated to learn.

    See, more wasted money to go slow, turbo you just turn the boost controller up retune and boom, faster.

    We're not persistent so much as we've been around the block about 7 times.

    Alright cool, my buddy tuned his GTP with HPTuners and I'm sure he'll help me figure it out if I buy him a credit or two. Thanks man.

    I haven't done 7 on mine, currently on my 2nd engine, 45k miles later.
    Just between all of us, we pretty much know what works and what don't. You can either run with the pack, or go hurt some feelings.
