Buy your VC gaskets and t-stat at your local auto parts store...T-Stat is like $5 and VC gaskets are for sure better...but you will need at the least a downpipe or a set of headers to go with that cam. Your car will knock even N/A with a cam and a totally stock exhaust system. But I'm pretty stoked your going the cam route...way to make the man choice. It'll run great for a N/A car...I forsee running down stock GTP's in your future with a custom tune.

is my 2.5 in downpipe and high flow cat from zzp enough? and if its not what can I do at this point without replacing that new plogs?
12-18-2010
2.5" catted DP is way better than stock...I'd get a PLOG though...for sure. S/C or N/A...cammed cars like to breathe. The HV3/Intake help the intake side...granted...the cam helps both intake and exhaust...but its gotta go somewhere...I'd say in the future...sell off your DP and get Speed Daddy headers for sure.
12-18-2010
what do those headers cost? And does anyone know whats going on with zzp i made my order and for somereason they sent me a invoice for two diffrent orders ith the same thing in it and they havent replied to me at all?
12-18-2010
Good luck. ZZP's customer service blows.
Speed Daddy's are less than $210 shipped from EBay...search GTP headers.

so I go my stuff from zzp a few days ago, I think your right about the vc gasket they hardly look like there the right shape
12-25-2010
how many "curves" or "bumps" are there?
Better yet, just take a picture.
ZZP VC gaskets dont even fit properly... Had them leak in six months.

Why don't I see the pic?
02-17-2011
alright i know this is an old thread and i dont even have the pictures up anymore but I did recieve conformation from paul that the lower intake gaskets were definetly leaking and he said hed send me some pics so ill put them up here for you to see when I get them
02-18-2011
Getting them fixed then?
Did you end up camming it too?
02-19-2011
Yeah he got them all working he said the coolant was making the oil sludge up pretty bad so he got everything cleaned up for me and back together hes test driving it and doing some tuneing and ill be picking it up today.Originally Posted by bluegtp91
And yes I did get it camed : ) hv3, downpipe, and some other smaller things all done I cant belive the work paul did for the price ill get pics and a video up today or tomorrow.
02-19-2011
Sweet...a cammed GT is where its at...if your N/A that is

alright got my car back yesterday sadly I had to go straight to work after wards Im working on making a video/thread with detail on everything all I can tell right now is it defiently draws peoples attention at the lights and parking lots I havent seen what its got yet I figured I would give everything a chance to mesh together. What has surprised me so far is that on the hour and a half drive home the car seemed to run smoother than the day I got it Paul really did a great job the entire engine was absolutly spotless I havent got the pictures from him yet but just looking through the oil filler cap I could see how much cleaning he had done looked brand new. so ill have a more detailed thing up later
02-20-2011
If paul has tuned it then he has drove it hard already.
Just make sure its warmed up.
02-20-2011
Pauls the man. If he was closer id Take my car to him to get cammed. Theres no need to Mesh or let anything break in.

If you guys say so... and I guess I have already given the 100 miles back from pauls to break in I got to go out and get some stuff later so I guess Ill get a chance to give it the beans then and ill let you know I just wana make sure its not going to explode or make the tranny explode...lol
02-20-2011
you dont break in motors by babying them anyway, you break them in by beating the crap out of it. ask anyone that has an actual race car with a built motor how they broke it in. i bet they say they took it out and went WOT with it.
02-20-2011
alright well I went to get some things for a diffrent project on my car and tryed the thing out. It is defenitly a lot quicker and I mean a lot I still havent put it to the floor from a light or put it to the floor at all but from about 30 I steped on it hard enough to make it shift down and it was instant pull then like not even half a second latter it was red lining and not shifting up wtf I dont think i have supporting mods for rpms that high obviously I let off the gas when I heared limiter kicked in but wtf do i need to drive this thing diffrently to get it to shift up?
heres a quick vid of wat it sounds like not the best of quality but ill get a better one withink a week
