    Here is my car. It is a 2005 GXP with 160,000 miles. fully loaded interior. I plan on doing a mild build with new heads and a cam eventually. Its all stock right now except for these wheels that came on the car.

    Just a FYI, the 243 heads that the 5.3 already came with are some of the best flowing stock cylinder heads ever made for those engines. They really is no need to change them, you won't make enough power to ever outflow them on the FWD car.

    Have fun doing a cam in that thing.

    No thanks.

    Get a tune and a trans cooler ASAP if it doesn't have one.

    For the work done vs. the gains, no thanks.
