1.9 rockers/ls6 springs, Headers, and a Street tune. You'll be a very happy person when it's said and done.
Don't do any mods and spend the $1,000 on cheap hookers and expensive wine :th_laugh-lol3:
Rockers are for poons... :DQuote:

Ive read your thread 3 times and just dosent answer my questions . It explains but its not a straight forward answer and im very machanicly inclined . I rebuild my motor in my gp and did motor swaps and tranny swaps and such soo im not dumb i just want answers from guys who have experience . Thanks .
Because there isn't a straightforward answer. That's just a guideline that happens to be very descriptive of what you want to keep in mind. IMO, get scan gauge, headers, intake, rockers, and tune with a pulley drop. That's what I'd do if I had a grand prix anymore.
ROCKERS.
ARE.
for babies.
And you'll spend all that money and be left with wanting more.
well a 3.4 setup leaves some money left over, we would all like a cam but last I checked it's about 1000 bucks right there for everything you need, in addition to the above mentioned stuff.
Wut?
You can get a gasket kit...for $200...a set of headers for less than $200...and a used XP or S1X for $200 or less...Then new LS6 springs are about 70 bones new...and retainers are no more...so...I've still got some cash left over...it's called SHOPPING around.
Around here your looking at $250 for a sexy one thats not over 30 lol and that doesnt include the clinic trip ($50).Quote:

$700 for a VS cam with all new parts granted you did the install yourself.
Well i personally wouldn't go for used engine components. Found my old shopping list thread and I was around $1600 total for headers, cam, tune, pulley, mufflers, shift kit, double roller (not including whatever is needed to be done to the sprocket) and at that Dave said the shift kit would just be to prolong the life of the tranny.
pfft double rollers...
Don't need a double roller for a small baby cam like teh XP or S1X...waste of money there.
Preventative measures? I like to get stuff done while I'm in there.
P.S. don't bother me with my non-ported head, I had to consider just getting a valve job done.

I found my O2 sensor on amazon by searching specific Denso part number for about 20 less too
basically your ZZP list is junk besides the puller...
the headers are a must though and will is one of the more respected tuners so that's ok.
do the plugs, colder tstat (180), build your own intake, order the headers, check out the possibility of porting your blower, pickup torque and a bluetooth OBDII module for 30 bucks, scan for KR and if safe start dropping pulleys. This will leave you with more than a few bucks to spare and is a safe and proper way to go about modding the car.
