Haven't posted on here in a long time, partly due to purchasing a G8 GT and have been modding that. After having purchased everything to do a big turbo build on the intrigue, I realized that the G8 was going to turn into the show car/weekend driver and the intrigue was going to become the daily driver. That said, I decided not to turbo the intrigue and instead do a Gen V/IC'd build using some of the parts I've already had laying around from my totaled GTP. More pictures to come but thought I'd put a mod list down here so I have for reference too. Heads just got sent to the machine shop yesterday so looking forward to getting them back.
Bill (billboost) has been joking with me since I'm basically doing the old bonneville setup he once had. Maybe it'll convince him enough to mod again once its built, tuned, and dyno numbers/ 1/4 mile times to back it up haha.

Tuning:
- This should be the fun part. I have DHP and HPT but since I've gotten used to the HPT interface I'll want to use it. However, HPT currently does not support my Olds Intrigue. That said, I'm going to try and make the intrigue a 1998 GTP via VIN and BIN. Hoping this will work. If anyone can offer insight its appreciated. Thanks in advance.
And for those who have never seen the intrigue, here is what it looks like currently:
