    Picked up a Loaded '98 Silver GTP Coupe about 2 weeks ago. Lovin it so far and already went ahead and had the windows tinted at 20%. Gonna pick up a set of stock taillights since I'm not diggin how dark the tails on it now are, and I'm still undecided if I like the wheels or not. Has a few mods, but is gonna get bodywork done first before I do anything else. Heres a mod list...

    3.4 Pulley, American Racing Ported Supercharger, CAI, 3" Offroad Catless Downpipe to Flowmaster 40s With Resonators, New Lower Intake Gaskets and Supercharger Gaskets, Newer Trans, Base Tune, 104 Plugs, 180* Thermostat, Alpine Headunit, Triple Pod Gauge Pillar, SMPP Front Swaybar, '05 Grand Prix GT Wheels, 8k HIDs.

    What do you guys think? Whats next?

    Welcome.

    Do your ears bleed from the flowmasters yet?????????

    Also I'd be kinda on the side of caution with that 3.4 pulley and no headers, that 3in dp is not quite enough.

    Otherwise, its not bad.

    Flowmasters aren't bad yet but I've heard better lol and I haven't really beat on it too hard, took it from a 45 roll to 90 tonight at about 3/4 throttle and it felt good, but that's about as hard as I've ran it. My fiance drives it more than me and she babys it. So I need to look into headers?

    Perosnally I would, that way its done and you wont have to ever worry about flow again.

    And they be cheap now too, SD's off ebay are like 200 bucks, add some rtv and clamps and your at 225-240 and 7 hours of your time, pretty good deal if you ask me.

    I'll look into em next then. Still learning all the upgrades for these cars as I've never ventured into the Supercharged FWD world.

    What size pulley would be safer with the supporting mods I have? Car is a dd for the mrs. so if I could just go to a 3.5 and be safer without doing headers I'd almost think about doing that...

    3.5 or 3.6 it's really hard to tell without scanning your car and seeing if you are getting any kr.
