    Hey guys Im Gonza, first time posting here.
    A little about me im 21years old born in Uruguay and moved to the states when i was a child, i bought my first 1998 grand prix gtp back in 2006 i put rims on it, 3.4" pulley, headers, 3" downpipe, u bend delete, exhaust, cooler range spark plugs, i rebuilt the transmission, put a sd hood on it, cold air intake. I dorve that car for about 8 month and then decided to sell it. a couple cars later i bought my current project a 89 pontiac trans am gta. This is pretty much my baby and it has too much to list but ill post pictures and ask questions if you'd like.

    I recently became a member of this forum because after 5+ years i picked up another gtp, this one is a 1999 gtp 2 door bone stock, i plan on doing just the basic bolt ons like headers, pully plugs intake and exhaust, this will be my daily driver since i sold my 2005 nissan titan. I do not plan on turnin this car into a race car by any means just something fun to drive, so far i have already put kicker 5.25" speakers in the front, replaced the windshield, new spark plug wires, new spark plugs (OEM for right now) new oil and filter and new air filter, as well as a new driver side window regulator and still need to either find some rims or buy tires.

    I am looking forward to being part of this forum and being able to help people out, i love working on cars and really making serious power. heres a few pics.

    i was never able to get a good solid pass due to transmission problems at first and thend a blown headgasket but the best times were in the mid to low 11s on 7-8lbs of boost. hope to go mid to high 9s with the new setup

    the grand prix pictures is not my current gtp, that is the one from 2006, i dont have that car anymore, i was 16 years old and fascinated by all the bright colors. LOL
    my current gtp will not have any color other than factory.

    The trans am is a my work in progress, it has an all forged 383 stroker motor 8.5:1 compression, 200cc stage 3 ported heads, custom grind turbo cam, arp studs everywhere, single plane victor junior intake, CSU prepped blow through carb by Kevin, custom turbo kit and headers built by me, downpipe will be a 4". I have a MadDog fully built transmission, 3.45s gears in the back in a stock but rebuilt 9 bolt, drag shock in the front, drag shocks in the rear, tubular kmember, adjustable torque ar, tubular lower control arms, lower control arm relocation bracket, sway bar removed in the front, 8pnt roll cage installed by me, 2002 trans am ws6 dashboard, gauge cluster and center console, with functunial gauges. The fuel system is dual intank walbro high volume fuel pumps, -8an stainless steel braided feed and return lines to a boost referenced mallory regulator, from the regulator dual -6an stainless steel braided lines to each bowl, One pump is on a boost switch and comes on at 5psi.
    I need to get a water meth injection kit so i can max out the setup. Turbo is a precision turbo 88mm. 275 60 r15 drag radials, full interior with power steering and power windows and mirrors.
    it should put down some good numbers
    My daily driver is a 99 GTP 2 doors
    My street/strip is a single 88mm turbo 89 trans am

    So, Kirby eats an engine and a clown simultaneously...

    Welcome!
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
