    Ken Wheeler here, Owner of Wheeler's performance near Deals Gap/ Tail of the dragon 318 curves in 11 miles.
    I have a motorcycle shop in the Smoky mountians.
    I work on all kinds of bikes from minor repairs and crash fixes to dyno tuning.
    I do some car work , mostly fieros and some minor fixes from the Dragon.
    My latest project is a fiero/ Scorpion kit car with a 1997 3800 na from a Park Ave. It has a 4 speed, mostly stock. I did match the upper and lower manifolds and replaced all the gaskets, removed the powersteering and low mounted the alt. I built my own motormounts and exhaust system and rewired the harness. Next year I hope to build some full length headers. So not really a Grand Prix but At least the heart of one.
    thanks Ken Wheeler

    Hey, welcome! We're always happy to have more experienced folks here.
    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+.
