    What are some good modifications I can do overtime to my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Daytona 500 Edition? A list of somethings would be great, I just have no idea where to start.

    Start reading here, if you have questions just ask.

    If you end up deciding to do exhaust I highly suggest headers.

    Torque Pro for android cell phones is the cheapest way to scan for KR, under $5 for the program and around $30 for the OBDII scanner for the car

    Scanning is good. Then you can go with intake and exhaust as a starting point like most cars. After that you can look into getting smaller supercharger pullies for more boost, with a tune.

    Read and read and read and read and read and read.

    Did I mention reading?

    Thats pretty much the only way to figure out what mods you can do. Figure out how to do them the correct way and start going at it.

    If you were awesome you would think of something and go do it.

    But 3800 people don't do that.

    Start by reading:
    http://www.grandprixforums.net/safel...car-17482.html

    Go through the members rides section for ideas etc. You have to decide on your own what looks good to you and what doesn't. If everybody had other members telling them what to do to their car it wouldn't be in a sense be YOUR car and would be ours since we designed it...get it?
