Ok- here is my first post, I have done alot of individual reasearch but am looking to 'put the plan together'
Working on an '04 GTP CompG (not many of those around or am I way wrong?) that is stock and have a few things "in mind" but looking for some decsion assitance. In short- what 'order' is best to do mods? Cosmetics (debadge) and other cosmetics are easy enough to decide, so I am really talking about mechanical.
Here is what I have in mind- please let me know if I am way off base or have a good start. Also, my intent is to build out to a faster ride that is visibly different but wont scare off the Stangs and STIs or any of the sewing machine rides.
Before anything- need new brakes. Ideas are most welcome here as I am all over the place on thoughts.
Now, as far as mods-
1) CAI (Thrasher, K&N or Wiz- prlly gonna go Wiz from my 'research')- with a question on the oil from the filters potentially casuing an issue. Unless the "new one" I see here in forums is 'good'.
2) Smaller pulley, PCM, cooler plugs, and "the other stuff" needed to keep the motor clean running
3) new struts and lower it a bit (reccomendations on height and suggs for solution here?)
4) Headers and exhaust
5) New cam
As an aside, I have been looking at the "performance packages" from 3800performance.com. If anyone has gone this route, what are your results?
Yeah, alot here- but I have not modded a car since my last sleeper which was a '76 Grand Prix with a 455 HD. (anyone even remember boring an engine or Holly double pumpers?)
Thanks to all- I will say I have looked at a number of posts on each of these ideas but cannot really get a good clean handle on 'order'. I also udnerstand that there is a great deal of personal preference, so I will keep that in mind too.
