Still confused on why you picked this car up before selling the Beretta if your intentions were to end up with only two cars... Now as you noted you still have three and you seem to be putting quite a bit of money into this one. Did you just get tired of the Beretta or was the Quad wearing on you and you just wanted something new?

Shane, how much for the blower and t/b setup? I have the exhaust parts just need them on, doing a 3" catback split into dual 2.5"s. Plugs im gonna do the 104s and i found some 10.5mm wires im gonna be running.

Jon, it was a combination of everything. My biggest thing was that i dumped so much money into the car, and was tired of still running 15.5s with it. With this car, atleast i can get off the shelf parts and have all kinds of fun with it. I mean, out of the box, its faster then I ever hoped the GTZ to be, even turboed. Plus, this car will be way more reliable with the boost. And, ive always wanted a GTP :D Also, i only have two cars right now. Just the GTP and the Lumina. When the GTZ sold, that was my third car.

On another note, this came today :D

you bought the quick pulley replacement nozzle as well? Nice! will be easier to go lower. And GTP have their limits before becoming money pit, Around 13.5-13.7 after that you will put a Shitload of money to be faster.

Yep. But still can buy parts off the shelf. That is also my biggest dislike about owning a Beretta.

Thats my biggest like about a Beretta... Your always unique in getting faster. ;)

I have a Subaru, I hate the off the shelf aftermarket, it's stupid expensive and everyone's done it, I just feel its way too easy to go fast with it. I guess I just like a challenge.

Yeah, but as unique as she was, after spending over $7500 on it and realizing i was pretty much where i started, just with a rebuilt motor and rims, i go tired of running in place. 8.5 years was a long time to be devoted to her, and we had a good run, but it was time for something new.

On a side note, got the tips ordered, and thinkin about running these with the Pacesetter 3" mandrel bent cat back:

Prolly gonna run a 3rd one as a resonator to help tune the sound down. Im hoping it sounds pretty good, as its hard to make these cars not sound like ass in the high end.

Nice replacement. I would have left some type of badging somewhere to separate it from the everyday of the mill Grand Prix out there. Something like a small print "supercharged" badge from a SS/SC.

Sure did clean up nice :)

Naw im gonna leave her debadged. I like the clean look ;) But thanks anyways man :)

So Ive heard a few vids with the Magna's and i think for the extra $30 i will just run the oval mufflers. I will see how loud it is and then go from there.

On another note, i got the downpipe today and got it installed. Im very happy with how it turned out, and it looks great! Even opened up alot of room under there. My only complaint is the hooks for the rubber donuts are really long but i was take care of those next time im at my dads.

Outta the box and lookin good!

Gonna put the order in for the mufflers, 10.5 plug wires, and hopfully the rest of the exhaust this weekend. I cant wait to get this part of the mods done. This weekend im gonna see about getting the pulley on as well :)

The old one doesn't have a flex joint. Why does the new one?

The flex joint on the old one is right at the flange where it bolts to the manifold.

Yes, Ron is correct. Its built into that ugly budging point right at the flange, its just got a shield over it.

So the tips made it in today :D
