    So seeing the error of my ways from the previous thread i posted "Supercharger help" i'm going to begin building the gtp up to eventually take a 3.0 pulley but i realize thats a ways off, for now i believe im going to begin with the exhaust aspect of the build, think im going to start off with the 304 stainless powerlog manifold from ZZP, then 3' downpipe, GT2 Comp cam, and work with the modular pulley system for a while, i already got the intercooler covered, along with cold air intake and tranny cooler, and i just ordered my scanner. Any advice at ALL would be super, super helpful!

    skip the plog and jump into headers.

    GT2 with a blower isn't as well documented as say a VS cam or S1X/XP.

    VS would make great power yet sound and behave more mild than any of the other cams listed.

    Don't get manifolds, get headers.
    Why are you going to put a GT cam in a GTP?

    It'd actually run quite well.

    Just be a top end deal rather than mid/low end.

    That link has already been linked.

    If you do go with this combination, you will easily make 300+ WHP which is hard part breakage territory in the trans.

    Tim King has some good deals on Trans and from what I hear are damn good. Triple Edge ofcourse is also amazing. Oh if I had the money
    1998 GS with Open cone, PLOG, ZZP Catless DP, tune & Intense MPS 3.6. Pulls good enough to make the woman smack me and call me a D!*k.
