well put mang

As easy as dropping the cradle.

i dont remember needing anything special, just some nice sockets and ratchets. air tools help a lot and maybe some big crow bars for the axles.

You will need a big breaker bar for the axle nuts if you don't have good enough air tools...and a little man powah

What is a HV3 and PLOG?

i seriously hope this post is a joke.

hv3 ZZ Performance
plog ZZ Performance

So can i have headers and a plog? Alot of ppl was making it sound like a PLOG was a different way to go other than headers?

Get headers, problem solved.

Lucky for me headers are on the way this week. Alot of ppl that ive talked to about gps never mentioned a plog. Always heard hearders an such. I guess i c y now. So headers would be bettter for performance than a PLOG?

So headers want give me any extra hp?

headers will net you some upper RPM power, but you wont gain anything like a blown car would. you really should just wait on the headers until you get your motor.

Damn thats some bs. The guy didnt tell me that. What i was trying to do was add all the little mods to my car now an when i save up the money for a l67 motor swap (the guy said he could do 1 for around 2200) an just crossover all the parts to that but in the meantime have fun with the GT. Didnt know they would make it even worser. I would put in the HV3 but i couldn swap it into the l67. Would seem like a waste of money later on down the road. It Seems pretty easy to install an make some good hp in the process. Pretty good info ppl....

Want to keep parts for the L67? Get a cam...namely a GT2 cam, or if you don't feel like doing that...run 1.95 Roller Rockers...those can be transferred over to L67 heads, along with the cam. There are quite a few people running a GT2 cam with a top swap making pretty good power. You can always put headers on your car, but they won't give you hardly any power gain...until like 4500rpm's...till you shift around 5800-6000...so by the time you hit your power band...a GT with a Downpipe and/or PLOG will beat ya, since it is retaining the low end torque from the manifold style exhaust.

So is there any part i could install to increase or keep my low-end torque even if i put the headers on that i could benefit from? I was thinkin about cammin it i know this guy sellin a S1X cam i think? Dont know if its good quality or not tho an if its a blower cam or NA cam. I heard blower cams have a longer duration than a N/A cam...

S1X is for a supercharged car. All it will do is make your car sound cool
