    I'm looking to start modding my GTP lightly. Gonna go with a 3.5 pulley, ZZP tune, catted down pipe, TB spacer, and other little supporting mods.
    Is there anything other vital mods I need to consider? Thanks.

    skip TB spacer......if mechanically inclinded I'd suggest a set of rockers and then call it a day. You'll enjoy the few extra ponies without having the expensive transmission issues.

    Would also HIGHLY recomend at least a power log if not headers if you want to run a pulley that small.. front manifold is the biggest issue.
    04 GTP -HAI, 1.9 rockers.

    Yea I agree! After I read that thread I decided I was going to do a LIM gasket replacement because the gasket that's on there now is the plastic crap and I think it's gone bad anyways.

    Anyways, there is a lot of useful info in that thread and is a must read, if you are thinking about doing some serious mods to the engine.

    Also, some headers would be a suggested mod.
