    Hey guys! Hows everyone?

    I have my wonderful 1999 GTP and some money in my hands,

    currently all i have done to my car is a FWI, TR5 NGK plugs, resonator del and 3in downpipe with cat

    was looking at ZZP on how i can send them more of my money for some of their parts

    i saw those stainless power logs and thought maybe they would be good to get, but then i saw the over sized throttle body and was torn between witch one i should get...
    any input would be wonderful on what i should get and if maybe you guys got some ideas on other things i could get that are of low cost. i have about 270 bucks Canadian so i'm pretty tight atm

    Love my GTP and can't wait to get to that sweet 3.4 pulley


    Thanks guys

    Just get the plog, the ported TB is not something you need as you can't outflow the stock TB as is anyway.

    You're exactly right my friend. But when i get any amount of money i like to spend it on the car, heck, even getting a magnetic drain bolt would make me happy.

    If you could choose, would you get the rear plog or the front? I hear the front one is a lot better and is safer for the pistons.

    i would have bought headers before a 3 inch dp.

    front plog is the rest of your combo now tho, the rear manny is not worth it really. add the 3.4 or a 3.5 pulley and a tune.

    or just add a shift kit, filter and fluid. theres a 100 bucks gone fast.

    Yea im gonna go with the front plog, i would drop to a 3.4 but i hear guys do that with relatively stock GTPS and just blow nothing but KR with that. I also heard that the supporting mods ZZP says you need for the 3.4 is wrong and you need WAY more supporting mods for it, so for now i wanna do it very last but part of me wants to buy it now lol

    Your rear manifold flows pretty good from the factory. Do the front, but don't expect a lot of difference in power.

    Me being a wise guy.. my first thought was..get an air freshner.. lol

    Well.. there's a maintenance list of stuff that if you haven't, you should do.
    Then there's stuff like TB cleaning. All good stuff

    2005 F350 6.0 - studded, deleted, tuned
