    Hey Everyone,

    New guy here from Arizona. I just purchased a 2008 Grand Prix GXP. It's factory stock, and I'm just beginning to research where to start modding, so I figured joining the forum would be helpful. I'm new to the LS4 engine, but I used to have an '04 GTP with the L32 some years back I modified moderately. Just figured I'd drop in here and say hi.

    Thanks for the advice. Sounds pretty reasonable. I've put an auxiliary cooler on just about every other vehicle I've owned, so I should be able to tackle that one.

    Do the transmission tend to run overly hot, or just a good preventative measure?

    They run hot in stock form which kills them that much faster, especially with the LS4 next to it. Check out the 5.3 engine section for info on a cooler. May be some in the Drivetrain/Trans. section as well.

    Here's a how-to- http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...Cooler-Install
