    Jus bought my 04 gp gtp comp g and tryn to learn more about modifying safely to maintain proper daily driver usage.I traded in my 03 srt4 slightly mod for this car,it's obviously not as fast as the srt but an all around beter car in every way.it's sharp and completely stock,fully loaded and a great candidate for a sleeper.it's by no means slow and I kno the basics,I'd say it's begging to breathe easier before anything.after that im kinda not sure where to start and how to keep everything working properly without having codes being thrown..Any suggestions?

    welcome to the GPF family
    Jenny, The '99 Silvermist GTP. With the mod's that matter.
    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    Awesum thread 4thgencamaro! Very helpful.quick kinda random question but in the quest for hp has anyone found any torque steer? My car is completely stock today and shows absolutely none,I find that pretty impressive considering it was hard to keep my srt4 running in a straight line..lol stupid neon..anyways Im also wondering at what point along the build do u start to notice the bells and whistles are no longer able to function? Like say the drivers display center functions and or dummy lights such as check engine? I kno this is prolly a question already answered sumwhere on here but any help is appreciated.thanks again everyone for welcoming me to the gpf!
