    all that...



    depends on your budget and what you want to do with your car.

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    Um, yeah, a canned tune cant be run with a intercooler.

    You need a full on custom tune with a wideband.


    Headers, Intake, 605's, 3.6 pulley and a overkill tune will do fine.

    Anything past a 3.6 and you dont want to run a canned tune, it only good for so much.

    (I say 3.6 because the Gen V is better than a Gen 3)

    You got alot of reading to do, to know how to mod these cars.

    Also, after adding that power, the trans becomes weaker and will be the weak point.

    Do not I repeat do NOT go with a SS intercooler. Complete waste of money. I did it on a previous GTP and regretted it later.

    an intercooler is good but you could also do a cam or roller rockers.

    dont so a SS IC bad idea, put a full sized IC on there get a MPS and run a 3.5'' or 3.4'' pulley withe some headers also make your own intake, the correct plugs and a 180 tstat too, you should be able to fit the IC with the stock hood unless you lower your car, you might need bigger injectors too, top it all off with a custom dyno tune from a local shop and you should be good to go until you break your trans
