So I've got my car...had it about 2 weeks now...2002 GTP...and everything is running smoothly for the most part...at first it was acting kind of wierd when I stomped on it from a low speed, almost like the tranny was shuddering, but it went away for now. I had a problem with my last car that was similiar and it was just the MAF no big deal...hopefully it doesn't come back..BUT that's all here nor there
I've been searching posts and I haven't found a clear answer to this...I sort of asked it before...just not very clearly.
These are my goals:
1. I want it to SOUND nice...not like a rice burner...but as close to the beautiful V8 growl as I can get
2. I want to be in the low 14's and hopefully flirting with 13's
3. I want to keep it RELIABLE..I don't want to stress the engine out so much that it konks out in 5,000 miles. It only has 53,000 right now.
4. I don't want to do anything crazy (to me) like NOS or turbo...I just want to replace some of the factory parts with some performance parts.
5. I'm not EXTREMELY concerned with the money...but I'd like to keep it around 2-3 thousand if I can.
As of right now I am not able to do anything myself. I'm in the process of getting out of the Marine Corps. and I have NO workspace and NO tools whatsoever....so someone else will be doing the work.
However, if anyone is anywhere near Jacksonville, NC I will pay you, keep a steady supply of beer, give good company, and help, if you would be willing to install some parts.
Thanks in advance for any replies!!!
