    get ac delco wires or duralast wires from autozone or napa, they work great. ZZP wires are overkill and dont seem to work great.

    Get some autolite 605 copper cores and gap them to .050 or so.

    Do wires and plugs first before buying coils, just to make sure whats going on.

    and having a 3.4 without exhaust mods is asking for trouble.

    i have the 3.8 sc and it does have exhaust work, it has cat delete and resonator delete so its straight pipes to the stock mufflers, im takin it to the exhaust shop to have a cat put on and flowmaster 40s, and upgrading to 3 inch from the y pipe back untill i get headers and downpipe

    I know what kind of motor is it, lol. all GTP have them.

    There is no exhaust restriction from the catback, trust me, dont go wasting your money on doing 3in exhaust, there is no point to it.

    The exhuast mods you need is headers, the front mainfold is un godly restrictive and with the 3.4 on there its prolly KR* ing like a mofo. It's going to chip a piston real quick if your not careful and take it off before its to late.

    Dont put flowmasters on there, your ears are going to bleed from the god awful drone. Buy some magnaflows or borla, flowmasters are chambered mufflers and those are the ones you DONT want, they suck.

    FYI: headers come with a downpipe, you dont have to buy both.

    play musical chairs with the plug wires. Get some big chrome tips, too.

    you could take his snout off and go to a machine shop and have them press it off and hope they dont screw it up.

    nope, you gotta suck the oil out and take his snout off and re seal it with anerobic sealer when you put it back on.

    porting your tb aint really worth it, in my opinion, you need a custom tune after doing that. Id just leave it be.
