You are still stuck in import mode bro. You can use an A2A inter cooler but it won't be cheap as they have to be purchased from Austrlia. Your best bet is to get a W2A system either used or from a vendor. The injectors aren't read in cc in the domestic world we use pounds. If you are wanting 12's then either spray it or do a cam which will require 42lb injectors.

Welcome by the way. Pics of the new car? You will find some of us to be assholes but they are on every forum. Enjoy your new car and fair warning you are about to enter an addiction that will make you go crazy when you start modding.

Welcome!

I have a w2a intercooler for sale at the moment, there is some interest in it but money talks for me.

Your also going to want some headers.

Zzperformance.com intense-racing.com Wbodystore.com are our major venders for parts, and eBay as well as the forsale section here.

Double check the connections on the fuel pump. Some GP's like the 97's not sure about others have a relay in the back under the car that goes to the fuel pump. Sometimes the contacts get wallowed out and will intermentelly make contact. Another item to check is the fuel filter which should have been changed when the fuel pump was installed.

Still in import mode dude...these cars dont have chips. We have retuned PCM's (powertrain control modules) Look at ZZP, Intense, Wbodystore, ect for a tune, or buy some tuning software. a good place to start would be to get headers, intake, and then a 3.4 pulley with a tune at the same time. Youd be pretty happy to start there.

The best tune would be a dyno or street tune, but if thats not available ordering one from a vendor is ok.

i wouldnt buy a tuned pcm from zzp but thats just me haha

I wouldnt buy one period now without looking at the actual tune...but thats just me. HPTuners ftw.

Again... as posted in Post #4... read the http://www.grandprixforums.net/safel...car-17482.html.

We have it for a reason, it is only 2 HUGE posts of information and will basically cover any starter questions you have. Read it 2 x's and if you still have questions then ask. You are along ways from the Import Tuner area so scrap basically anything you think you know about motors because you're on a completely difference roller-coaster.
