Well Im not really looking for crazy gains or any serious racing.. It's just that my first car was a 2.4l 4cyl Grand Am, and when I bought my Grand Prix it took me a few minutes to adjust to the additional power of the 3.8 v6, and since I drove it home the first time, I love the way it drives.. I think it pulls really nicely, compared to my old GA anyway. Im just lookin to make it a little more fun to drive... and maaaaaybe have some fun at a few street lights.. so like even 10,20,30hp gains are more than enough.
So... seriously, my '08 doesnt have a u-bend in the exhaust? After all this time reading about this horrible curse on Grand Prixs... lol. So I dont need any exhaust work except for the addition of headers? Stock is fine?
As far as the tuning goes.. you mean I actually can have my car tuned? I've been under the impression that an 08 is impossible to tune. I also read about putting an older computer into it and having the gas gauge read backwards, but I heard there are issues with an 08 with this approach as well.
What exactly does a shift kit do? I've been thinking about getting a stronger transmission in the future so I can beat on it a little without worrying about it.
