Im in the crossroads....to keep modding or not :)

[97gtpjoe]

Ok so im at the point that I want to keep modding the GP or I should just stop(car is running perfectly with no KR). I recently acquired an XP cam , #105 springs and Gen V supercharger from a member here. SO the big question now is should I go ahead and do the install knowing that im still going to throw more money into the car or should I leave it how it sits. It currently has CAI,ported Gen 3 m90 (reptile) , Overkill PCM, headers and 3.4 pulley . Also in doing the install I know for sure that I will need to upgrade the stock tranny . Pros and Cons of both situations are GREATLY appreciated my fellow GPFer's.

I was in your shoes a couple years ago with a typical 3.4 setup. Two words: DO IT

My current mods are in my sig. A cam is what really makes these motors come alive.

Oh and my stock 115k mile tranny is just dandy...

I haven't dyno'd it yet, just had it street tuned. If I had to guess I'd say its right around 320whp the way it sits now on a pretty conservative tune. My goal is to eventually run E85 then crank up the timing and drop to a 2.8 pulley. Hopefully the I'll be around 340-350whp.

Go for it.

[DanPrixGTP]

Do eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[97gtpjoe]

Leaning towards the build , will have to take a few days off work to get to work on the engine , the tranny is another story thinking of just going TEP

[DirtDog]

Id say TEP as well.

[dsmuts]

Do it. I'm still in the process of getting my comp g running right but when i do it'll be so much fun

Run the stock trans until it goes - it may end up lasting a good while. My car has been cammed since last spring 2012 and I just recently added heads and an IC. The trans is still fine...

Well its slipping a bit on dig

[dsmuts]

Save up for tep then and swap it when it breaks. It's pretty easy to swap them.
