04 Grand Prix Comp G

My cousin just picked up an 04 GTP Comp G. We are looking to mod it and just seeing where to start. I already made him a FWI using some intake and silicone hose pieces I have. Thinkin about puttin in some TR6 plugs, I use them in my LS1 Maro and LS2 TBSS with great results. That is still a step colder for the L32 engine, correct?? Also going to put in a 180 stat to

We are stuck on the next mods; plog or headers? If we go plog wither we will have to buy a d-pipe or make one. Headers is something he isnt sure he wants to do cause of noise and the fact he isnt going to go crazy with this car just really wanna get it into the 13's.

Pulley???? what size 3.6 ok with those mods??

I can scan the car for KR with efilive but cant write files....Are the 04 gtps CAN or OBD?? Is the ecm an E40??

Too bad you already did the intake, these kits would probably because one of these two kits would probably be right up your alley: INTENSE-Racing.com: INTENSE™ Level 1 3800 L67/L32 Performance Package or INTENSE-Racing.com: INTENSE™ Level 2 3800 L67/L32 Performance Package.

Yeah it cost me lil to nothing for the intake. I have extra pieces in the garage and a K&N from an 06 TBSS that I used in the past til I made a lower fender intake.

Go headers. They did not make my car loud at all. Just a little deeper exhaust tone.

I had 5* of kr with my mods and a 3.6 before Dyno Brian worked his magic. You will want to make sure you have a good tune.

We took the car out to US41 last weekend and dead stock besides a quick intake I made for him and headlight out.
14.5's at 93-94 with a 2.1 60' foot
