    i have a 99 GTP with 171k miles on it i was thinking of doing the following:

    Headers
    3 inch cat-back Exhaust
    3.6 inch pulley
    FWI
    Overkill PCM

    along with the appropriate tsat spark plugs and s/c belt

    would this damage my engine in any way, there would be some light racing as you can imagine and yes ive already read the safely modding your 3800 powered car thread

    It would probably be best to just get your pcm tuned by someone.

    Also the catback won't do anything for ya really.

    yeah catback is whack. stock catback can support a good amount of hp and still flow well.
    other than that you have the basics covered. a custom tune would be the best though.

    if you are really worried about your motor go with a 3.5 or 3.6 pulley. To run my 3.4 safely i had to run modded 1.9 rockers.

    You will need a cam if you want 300whp unless you opt to spray it.
