Thread: need someone to double check the build list

just want someone to double check my build list here real quick and tell me its ok before i push the buy button... other then what is listed i will be making a 4 inch intake and a overkill pcm with this list at the same time

Car is a stock 97 GTP with 75000 miles and i just finished all the work to get it running in perfect order except the supercharger coupler(getting replaced when parts come in)

No headers....

Big problem there.

TB spacer?

Are you planning on running meth or N2O? no? then skip it.

How much is the coupler?

I can get GM S/C fluid for less than $5 a bottle at LIST locally.... And I'm in Canada....

With GM employee discount its not even worth mentioning.

I assume you have a 3" cat you plan on welding in?

A 3" DP and a PLOG isn't an exhaust mod?

SINCE WHEN?

And brew, fuel isn't an issue till you're running a cam or intercooler.

You're doing neither.

Change the filter regularly with whatever you can get for cheap.

i didnt know on the TB spacer i just figure wtf why not lol.... on the fuel filter i figured id just get it... its $15 and i havent changed it yet....if its better then ok if not then its w.e i need to change it

on headers i think the PLOG is just fine and there will be no cat... its a off road race pipe at which means no cat

shipping is $20 ground any way so its no big deal.... plus its no problem just removing them and buying them at the store... i bought the car for $2800 and then put $600 into parts to get it where i was happy with it as a DD... then ive got $1000 right now to build it for the fall till spring...

im set on a budget for this build and im right on the line of where i want to be so i kinda dont want to splurge for headers

OR go with these?? ZZ Performance

Again, I can get a fuel filter for $10 or less locally... why but a ZZP for 15?

I hated my Pace****ters with a passion.

But I don't really like my Speed daddy's either.

If you've got a grand, I'd vote VS cam and no exhaust mods.

Don't piss your money away so easily if you've got a set budget.

this is my daily driver and i want everything to be safe so exhaust mods are a must... with paceseeters and the PLOG and downpipe removed plus the TB spacer removed if everyone agrees its not needed

and again the filter, plugs and thermostat i have no problem buying from a store around here... im not clicking buy it now right this second im just trying to figure what i can

true, that works.

Getting a tuned PCM as well?

im getting an overkill pcm and im building a intake

Sounds good.

so i take it everyone will be happier with the pacestters rather then plog and downpipe?? not much more and if the Tb spacer isnt needed it only is $20 more which doesnt bust the budget.... tommarow ill post a pic of the car...

no one likes pacesetters... so if we are happier, not by much.


Pacesetters have 1.75 primaries which are very large for a 3.4 setup.

one and five eighths primaries would be better suited to your build.

well this is only for a while then spring time after the suspension it will be a cam(maybe just rockers) ... so im trying to keep that in mind... whats so horrible about the pacesetters??? so i understand why

Pacesetters just don't seem to seal....

The ZZP pro kit might work though.

I liked the welded mod though.
