    Didn't realize I never made a thread in here.

    2005 Grand Prix GTP Comp G

    Bought in April 2010

    48K Miles (72,000 currently as of 5-5-2011)
    Sunroof
    HUD
    But, cloth interior. Actually perfect since it is used as a family car. lol

    Only Mod is a Motorsports Performance CAI


    Plans:

    3.4 pulley
    Tune
    Headers
    CAI

    YouTube - Walkaround the GTP with the S95



















































    Bought a buffer shortly after getting the car......










    Don't have an engine pic since installing the CAI



    Vid after the CAI

    YouTube - 2005 Comp G 0-80



    Hope to get some more current pics soon.

    Progress will be slow since this is our only car right now. Not trying to go too crazy with it. I would be happy with a consistent low 14 car. Maybe mid 13's if it wasn't the only car.


    Here's my latest project I did a few weeks ago.



    Pictars

    Driver Side







    Passenger Side








    Process and Before/After sidebyside

    I did 400, 800, 1000, 1500, and then 2000 grit wet sanding.

    Then I used Prima Cut with a cutting pad. Then 3M Rubbing compound with a lighter pad. Then a coat of the urethane. I'm probably going to do a 2nd or 3rd coat once it dries 4 hours between each coat. Any suggestions on what grit to sand inbetween coats?

    Results

    You can run a 3.4" pulley on these cars with those mods as long as it is tuned. Any smaller and you need an LQ4 MAF and 42.5# injectors to support it.

    says who?

    you run out of injector at 3.1 or so.

    can't imagine requiring a new MAF until then either.

    Either way, 3.4 with those mods wouldnt have much timing, which means higher EGT and more wear on the exhaust valve/seat.

    hurray for accelerated wear!

    Could still have a factory monster, but its unlikely.
