| Make: Pontiac Model: Grand Prix Year: 1998 I've only done performance mods to my car, but cash kinda ran out before everything I had planned got finished. Regardless, it's still fun. 3.8K motor rebuilt tranny to HD specs, 3500 stall converter Paxton Novi 1000 supercharger 33# injectors reflashed PCM, raised shift points, no rev limiter, raised trans line pressure CAI  colder plugs, thermostat, yadda yadda I'm only running 6lbs. of boost right now, because money ran out before I got headers or a downpipe, and I can push that through the stock manifolds. Right now my car isn't a priority, but if I ever have an extra couple hundred bucks, I'll probably buy a set of ported manifolds and a downpipe just to get the exhaust flowing a little better, and I'll be able to drop down a pulley size most likely. I also have a lower intake manifold that I wanted to port, but haven't been able to. I did a home polish job on the throttle body, and I have an extra upper intake to fool around with once summer rolls around again. I no longer have a garage to tinker in  I haven't had it dynoed, but judging from other cars similar to mine, It should have about 200 horsies at the wheels, give or take. My car will pull a bit on my friend's stock GTP, whichhas a roots blower, so it might have a touch more power, but who knows. Originally I was going to intercool it, and build a motor for it with a nice bumpy cam and whatnot, but that didn't quite work out. Now I think I'm just going to get the exhaust done, drop the pulley on the supercharger as small as I can safely, and leave it alone. I don't have another few grand to drop a built motor into it as well. |

| modifications I made to my van... smashed windshield, caved in passenger side, deeply dented above the gas tank on the driver's side, totally out of alignment, passenger bucket seat askew, stereo still works but the dash was crumpled around it, a little difficult to use then. yup I totaled my van.
