Hey there! Just signed up.
An aside, I couldn't get the 'Z' supplier right....but i just assumed it was zzperformance of course!!! for 3800 parts... kept typing it in, and it said i was wrong. anyway...
My real questions are:
I lucked upon a very good condition 2005 GTP for $3k. Better condition than I even expected. Didn't really have much wrong with it and engine/transmission was in great shape especially for 200k miles.
I got some MSD 8224 blaster coil packs (3 of em), and 6 new NGK spark plugs and some NGK wires. I couldn't find the wires i really wanted, so I'm getting some 7mm ones. Will they be noticeably worse than 8.5" or thicker?
Also I couldn't 100% confirm that the 8224's are the right coil pack but i'm 99% sure. anyone know?
I also want to replace the engine fan with an electric powered one (exposing a new relay and connecting fan to it) instead of the engine powered one, freeing up the engine power and also avoiding the common shutoff issue at low gears and revs (the engine runs hotter at lower gear/rev since the fan's low power is either not working or not working as well as it should...the engine cools down on the highway). Any guides or advice on this? Could i use this fan for that purpose? (2005 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Maradyne High Performance Fans M142K Maradyne Champion Series Electric Fans | Summit Racing)
I have lots of other projects but i'll start with those.
