    Hi,

    My name is Drew, I have two GP's, a 98 that was my daily driver until last month, engine went south with 280,000 hard miles put on it. Not bad for a car I bought 5 years ago and dropped a 70,000 mile used motor in that cost me less than 500.00 bucks between the car and motor. And I have my project, a 99 Silvermist GTP. Still trying to gather a few more parts before I start putting her all back together. My parts list for it is SLP Headers, Custom 3" exhaust with dymomax mufflers. Ported and polished LIM, S/C, 2" I/C, Stage 2 Heads, 42# injectors, XPZ cam, dual roller timing chain, 105# valve springs, Comp lifters, Autolite 103's, 160 thermostat, F body brakes, SD Ram Air hood, SLP CAI, fresh rebuild on the transmission and still more to buy. I was leaning towards an LS1 TB setup after what I've read on different boards, and of course some suspension upgrades and tuning, oh and of course I need to decide what size pulley I'm going to run, I have several of those too.

    Welcome, man! Sounds like you know what's up.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Thanks. I have some pics of my motor mocked up on the stand, I'll try to get them off my phone and up here. Anyone with spare stuff to sell, hit me up, Uncle Sam sent me a lot of money back and I'm ready to spend some of it if the price is right!!

    I'm looking for a throttle body upgrade either the stage 2 L67 or an LS1 with MAF and harness, BMG or UMI laterals, GMPP sway bars, and an Intercooler radiator.

    I'm contemplating the W-Body stores performance control arms too, does anyone have them and did they make much of a difference?

    I incuded a quick pic of my engine mocked up. it should look sweet when finished.
