    finally got the cradle out of the gtp didn't take to long had to saw off one cradle bolt to it being seized to the nut, so far this has been a great experience im looking to do an e85 conversion wanna kind of go all out on this gtp my other only had the usual 3.4 ubend delete 1.0 pcm plugs tstat... this time around doing cam, intercooler headers, dpipe and gen v with n* so any advice ive never installed a cam or lifters and what not so ill be reading up on that im sure there is a sticky somewhere. if anyone would like to throw anything out there I welcome constructive criticism. cant get the pics to upload so ill try that at a later time .

    that's also what I was wondering as well are the speed daddys crap? im not looking at them so much cause of the price but didn't look like they came with one im skeptical about some stuff off ebay... and overkill pcm the way to go or whats the story between the two as far as differences?

    SD headers are what most everyone uses, they are stupid expensive right now I think because they are low on stock but normally they are 197-212. In car/dyno tune from a reputable person is ideal but overkill seems very good.
