Hey everyone, I have been creeping around the forum for quite some time but finally became a member! I purchased my 05 Grand Prix Comp G in January of this year and I really enjoy it. I have done a few minor personalizing cosmetic mods but nothing major. With the help of my handy hubby i plan to really dive into this car this summer and start making some serious horsepower!! Soo far I have night shaded the taillights, restored the rough headlights, painted the brake calipers(pink of course), and painted the engine cover. The windows will be tinted and the rims will be powder coated very soon. BTW i will be doing the powder coating myself. We have a small powder coating operation, nothing huge just a hobby. Here are a few pictures of it soo far.
My mods for the summer include lowering the car and some engine mods. For starters what do you guys think of this?
CAI: just going to get some couplers from samco and put a filter on the end of the MAF
Headers from SSAC
plugs/wires
180 deg tstat
3.4" pulley
Tune with HPTuners (not real familiar with it but will be getting real familiar with it on our turbo 5.3 project)
This is what i would like to do first but possibly planning on more depending on how pleased I am. I know its hard to say but what kind of hp numbers are you guys seeing with these mods? And YES i have used the search function, YES i have read the "safely modding your 3800 thread" thoroughly.
If I am hungry for more i guess i will be looking into an intercooler, rockers, and maybe even a real small shot of spray and building a trans.
