seems zzp is a little slow on there response time for emails...below is a copy of the emails i sent with yet a response was hoping everyone here would make sure i head in the right direction.
looking to mildly mod my car for it is still going to be a fair weather driver.
2005 grand prix GTP Comp G S/C
i was thinking of headers ossible down pipe pulley cold air plugs thermostat tune
Not all particularly in that order but i know i need to start with headers... and i already have an aeroforce scanner . apparently i don't have a ubend problem so im assuming i dont need a downpipe. i am currently looking at putting in new valve seals and intake gaskets(which i already purchased). while doing so i wanted to put in a header. but as you know people talk alot of crap. i would like to install your headers but fear fitment issues. i guess what i'm looking for is a little extra reassurance from you guys personally as well as for any extra information or parts that i should have on hand... tricks to make sure install is done correctly by your standards.. aftermarket vs stock exhaust donuts and or anything else i may be missing. i was also hoping you would make sure that i am headed in the right direction. doing things in the proper order and time. i don't wanna be mislead by the already mislead. lol
thank you very much for your time!
i feel like just adding mods is a bad idea ... i know there's some things to do before others (besides buying everything at once is hard on the pocket book) i am no master mechanic but i do a lot of work on my racing quads so i am familiar with how motors work. but this.. this is all new and exciting! i dont like screwing up and learning the hard way id rather ask questions first so please always correct me. however back on point.
so i start with headers and a scanner. whats next ..and how do we determine whats next i don't like the idea of guess work example.... well since you have headers and cold air intake you should be running blah blah blah spark plugs and blah thermostat ... or do you say okay bret now that you have such and such parts installed lets get some number from you off your scanner.and then we can determine what your going to need to do for the next step in the modding process. or am i just way way over thinking everything because im not quiet that well informed yet. yall can laugh at me its cool i get it lol im a rookie and what not but asking you i believe is much better then to keep relying on false info from Facebook crap. thank for listening hope i made sense and i look forward to working with you guys.
lots to read but thank you for taking the time
