I'm still getting use to how the power is distrubuted. I definitely have loads of low end power now, but has expected I loss the kick at the high end- it was more of a lag feeling IMHO. I've tested it out a few times now and I'm getting to 0-60mph really quick! I really need to go to the 1/8 track to test it out! The only complain I have is that I can now really hear the comp lifters now and man are they noisy! But on the other hand the exhuast note has deepened a lot, it doesn't sound has raspy has it did with the headers.

I really need to take some pictures of my engine bay once I'm done painting a few things. It looks pretty sick now. Black-silver-red sheme. I painted the exhuast some with paint and it came out pretty good. :)

It's posted in the for sale section. I have been lazy about updating it though. It's going for 400 shipped

Wait let me get this straight. You went from headers to a plog/ ported manifold setup? What size dp are you using? Why did you "downgrade"?

Yup and I won't be needing the headers for the turbo set up. But I can still use the plog and ported rear.

N/A GP's loose a lot of low end torque with headers due to reduced back pressure.

Z3 like Victorsmalls. No point in getting the z7 without the 1" GMR chain for the tranny

Haha I don't think these plans are happening anymore. He bought that G8 and is now selling the GP.

I'm thinking of selling the GP modified now and try to find a person interested in Pontiacs like me. Hell, I've put time, effort, plenty if sweat, research, headaches. etc into this car. I'm AT LEAST going to try to find a good new owner for her.

I thought about that when I sold my GP. Honestly man I'd say to demod it. I got about $1500 more by demodding that I would have if I sold the car modded.
