    hey all, been creepin for a bit but thought it was time to join, last aug i picked up a 07gp gt, 170xxx (kms). So far cars been very good, had a brake line burst for passenger front. It was rubbing on a power steering hose, im not sure why it wasnt in its clips but i assume steering rack was replaced?? paid 8k which may seem high but the car came new tires and the hood and front bumperskin were freshly painted. looks good !!

    Not sure what im planing for it yet, all ive done is some maintence, got a k&n kit, and i hacked the muffs off and welded in some 2 1/4 thrush glasspacks

    normally i find glasspacks sound like **** on cars, but it actully works in this case, drones a bit, but its pretty quiet at wot just hear the m90 screamin
    i dont view any performance from these mods just noise
    did go to our local strip and the best i could run was 15.29 (a good street car is in the 14's to me, so allmost there but not quite)

    now myself i do work in a custom engine shop rebuilding cylinder heads, ive machined many different heads but all i really do now for the most part are older style v8's, small and big block chevys, fords, mopar. so i do have a good understanding of what it takes to build a preformance head in relation to what a engine requires.
    more then happy to try and answer questions

    i look forward to the 3.8 world !!!!! WooOOOOOOoO!!!!

    Your in luck cuz the 3800 engine is based off an old buick V8 so they are similar to a small block chevy.

    8 k even with tires and new paint...not worth it especially with that many miles. But welcome to the site. Great place to learn about mods and find answers to questions
