    This is my 2005 GTP - named Betty, (after Betty White of course). This is my 2nd GP that I have owned after I had a 00' GTP back in 2005-06.

    I originally started with the 1.9 Rocker/Headers setup, but am currently awaiting install of my XP cam/E85 setup. Looking forward to how that will wake her up! Also should be a nice present for her 100k mile milestone (purchased with 80k miles).

    Well I can say I am the proud owner of an XP cam setup. We didn't get a chance (time constraint) to do the fuel pump/e85 setup. But everything else went together without a hitch and couldnt be happier to have had it done by some great guys locally. Here are a couple of pics from the install

    Not really a break in period with hydraulic roller cams on a 3800. Just go hard and have fun. Seriously.

    Loving my XP Setup so far, can't wait for the E85/new pump in May. Time to start saving for the inevitable transmission upgrade.
