**Amb4** · 11-29-2009

Ok so i've been doing my research and i think im ready to order my stuff, i just wanted to get some opinions from you guys if you think this is a good start and if the parts im getting are a good idea or is there something better for the money. Thanks

06 GTP:
Pacesetter Headers
ZZP Modular pulley system 3.6"
4" open cone
Autolite 104
ZZP 10.3 plug wires
180 T-stat
Custom PCM tune
debating on 1.9 rockers.......

I want to keep it 1000 and under for total cost, and my goal is 40 hp gain! will this work? Thanks for any input

sounds like you got a pretty good list.

If you can wait, I have some inside info that there's going to be a new type of header coming from pacesetter early next year that will have a better y-pipe design. I know a guy that works at pacesetter performance. That's why lots of people are out of stock on them right now.

i have to: whats an 06 gtp? it took a g35 member to explain to me and the rest of the pontiac crew i hang with that 04-05 were gtps and 06+ were gts. i keep thinking people were lying and taking the p off their cars lol. but carryon dont mind me lol, i need help modding my lil car al i have is fwi and u bend delete and 180 drilled t-stat had 104s but took them out and ran with platinums will go back copper when i get some money(thought plugs were fouling out but it was the tcs pc going in and out) happy modding amb4

lol ya that is true they did call the 06+ the gt. I just call it a GTP so people know its supercharged. As for the pacesetter headers, if they are coming out with a new set for around the same price then i will certainly wait, no sense rushing into getting them right now if something better is coming out. Thanks for the input! more opinions appreciated.

oh4compg, wanna hook a brotha up? I was maybe gonna be ordering those SSAC, but if they're gonna make some pacesetters that don't leak for the same pric i'd be interested

My Pacesetters don't leak. Less than any header out there besides SSAC's.

**AmericanSoldier** · 11-30-2009

when headers leak do you lose power or is just an annoying sound?

**Bio248** · 11-30-2009

your tune is off when the headers leak.

Depends on where the leak is

zzp's kit of the pacesetter prevents the leak problem does it not? oh4compg are the new headers an overall better design? or is it pacesetters version of fixing the leak problem?
Edit: are the 1.9 rockers worth it right now? or will the other parts i have listed net me the 40hp im going for? thanks

i have the "improved" zzp set, all they did was give you better gaskets, an 02 extension and 2 slits on each tube of the collector (I could have done that myself). It will still leak, get better clamps, they give you these garbage ones that will break before your even able to tighten it enough to close the slits.
