    Hey guys, my name is Marc. I'm on all kinds of other forums so some of you probably know me already. Anyway, I have a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT that's had quite the history

    Bought it bone stock, then I did an L36/L67 setup on it. That was running on a 2.8 intercooled/e85 setup on stock heads and cam. Made quite a bit of power. That motor kinda went..lol Compression numbers came back ****ty and at the same time, my stock 4T65E-Non HD trans took a **** as well...time for new stuff

    Put in an L32 from a 2007 Grand Prix GT with 26K miles on it and fully built 4T65E-HD 3.29 setup from Dave at TEP (you the man Dave). Car runs like it's brand new! It's already snowing here in Colorado so I'm going to wait to bolt on the mods I already have from the old motor which are WBS Fullsize I/C Core, 65# Injectors and Walbro 255, 1.9 Rockers and retune the *****. I do all my own work in the comfort of my own home and I also do all my own tuning with HPTuners and do alot of tuning on different GM vehicles!

    Here's a few pics of the whip!


    Stock BLAH!


    Now







    Thanks for the views and hope to meet some of ya'll!!!
