    Just joined, been lurking for a while. I own a '02 gtp with a few things done to it. Just trying to see what everyone else is doing with theirs!

    It's got a new motor from a '05 GT, a pulley, and an exhaust.

    I'll try and get some pics up ASAP!

    Thats what I want to know too.

    And a I hope you mean headers as the "exhaust part" because dropping pullley size without em is a great way to grenade a motor.

    I don't think it's a NA bottom, it was a full drop out and came with a supercharger too.

    It's cammed and running e85 as well, so no worries about a 3.5 lol

    05 GT was Naturally Aspirated.

    You went from just having a pulley and exhaust to having a cam and e-85 all of the sudden? Do I smell some bull****?

    Edit: Nevermind, saw the screen name and seem to be fitting...

    i can get a pic if it is needed to prove myself but it seems a little silly lol. it could be an '06 I bought it after the work was done.

    No BS here, i just don't know a whole lot about thses cars. the car has a lot done to it, the guy i got it from said it made 28x hp on a conservative tune from a shop in Grand Rapid, MI.

    That engine is an '06. Move along folks

    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+.

    In 2006-07, L32s got black valve covers, instead of grey.

    Yes I am. I decided to go with them over the competition due to there almost 100% weight savings over stock, not to mention they clean up the engine bay a lot.
