what are your ACTUAL goals with the car? ever going to take it to the track (how fast do you want to go)? want it to sound really cool or just be quick and quiet? need more info. lots of it.

just to have a fast car for once, 350WHP would be awesome. I do want it to be reliable (i know, iffy with doing mods) since it is my DD. I would love to beat my friends nova, but he just bought some LS motor, so thats doubtful. I might take it to a track once and a while.
The 3A racing exhaust sounds pretty good so far, so not to much louder, but i do want it to be quick.
I'm guessing i will have about a $2000 budget just for mods, i will have money for the engine and trans.
What else do you need?

Which speed daddy headers should i get, none of them say they will fit my 04 grand prix?

Also, How much will the built trans roughly cost, $2500?
