    Welcome to the community.

    I moved your thread over to the L67/GTP section, should get lots of help there.

    Have any plans of what you want to do. You have deffinatly come to the right place to get help. The people that you'll meet in here are a wealth of knowledge. The've helped me out quit a bit. Here are a few sites to check out for pretty much anything you can think of for a GP:

    3800performance.com
    3800pro.com
    aedcentral.com
    andysautosport.com
    grandprixstore.com
    summitracing.com
    prjperfomance.com
    zzperformance.com
    wbodystore.com
    intenseracing.com

    You can check out these sites, get ideas of what you want and then come back here, run it by everyone and see what advice we can give you on what you want to do. That way you know you will be heading in the right direction. I'll be honest with you though, it's going to take a decent amount of money to build these cars. It can be done though, just have to have patience and figure out what you want your buget to be.

    That is very good info. Wish stuff like that was around when I started on my GTP. That was back when people were asking you can really do that to them cars.LOL!!!! This site has helped me so much. Kinda starting from scatch because from what I have read on here, I was starting to go in the wrong direction. Would have ended up costing me alot of money.

    If you're going to lightly mod (planning on a 3.4 and high-mid 13s) start off with a 3" downpipe.
    '13 Stang - V6 MT82 - GHIG
    '00 Grand Prix SE - Pink (L67 Swapped/XP Cam/3.25")
    '98 Grand Prix GTP - Black ($500 toy with broken trans. )
    '01 Bonneville SE - Sitting on a hillside needing attention
