Thread: Need some guidance!

Hi all I'm pretty new to the fourms but have something I can't decide what to do with. I have a 2002 Grand Prix gtp with a few mods. It currently has a 2.5 inch zzp down pipe and a 2.5 zzp catback. Also currently running a k&n intake with autolight iridium 104s and a zzp mps system. I'm still on a stock tune but I ran a 3.4 pulley at the track with my best time of 15.3 with 3-4 degrees of kr. I live in Denver by the way In case it may confuse someone why I'm running slower. My question is should I upgrade to a short stack ic and get a power log? Is it manditory to port my manifold while I have my supercharger off? I'm looking for times to be 14.8 mabye 14.6 and I also plan on getting a custom tune when I'm done. Or is there another upgrade path I should try? Car has 120k on it too and currently have a 3.6 pulley on there and getting consistent times of 15.5 with no kr right now. Any help is much appreciated!

Iv been thinking about going headers but want to be able to pass emissions and not have to deal with blocking off the egr and stuff like that.

Is there a catted down pipe I can buy with speed daddy headers that will just bolt in?

im new to this forum and i was wondering how do i post a forum for other people to answer?

Are zzp headers any good if I decide to go that route? Just wondering if there good. Really don't want to go cheap headers like sd headers.

So I have decided to just go with sd headers for now. Is there anything else I should pick up for the install? I don't think my install is going to be too bad hopefully because I have a car lift at home that will come handy. Also is there a bung welded in for a rear and front o2 sensor? Thanks guys!

I have new bolts for the catback if I need it. Should I buy new exhaust bolts for the heads while I'm at it? Just want to be prepared if they break or if they have a tendency to break I should say.

You probably won't need them, but if it makes you more comfortable, get them. I put SD headers in not too long ago and had no issue re using them after cleaning them up a bit on the wire wheel. The cat back flange bolts however were a pita. I ended up drilling them out and replacing them.

Sorry but one last stupid question. will i need an o2 extender? it looks like i have a little room to play with but not sure if its needed or not. Thanks!
