GTP Free mods / first mods ?

[nurkvinny]

I know there are some resourceful GTP owners on here. My questions are:

 

- What, if any, "free mods" are available for the GTP?

 

- Besides free mods, I'd like to hear about your experiences with CAIs, headers, exhausts, chips, etc.

 

Thanks!

 

BTW, picked up a 98 GTP this morning, smile.gif

CAIs: I've used three...

 

GrandPrixStore.com open cone & tube - let you hear the SC whine...sucked in lots of hot air from the engine bay...amusing for $80

 

MotorSportsPerformance Air Box - sealed off pretty well from the engine bay, nice holder for the PCM, Intake Air Temp about 10-15* above ambient temps...hard to justify it's cost.

 

RE-0870 K&N cone and 4" INTENSE FWI Tubing - $90 - By far the best CAI/FWI I've had on the car. IATs were 5* over ambient and even less after driving at highway speeds for a few minutes.

 

 

Headers - Ported Manifolds - Will do the job for your GT - inexpensive...

 

I used The Other Guys headers - Pricey but a very high flowing header, a great piece to have when making an awesome exhaust setup. Tubes are a little big for a mildly modded GT.

 

Chips - Had a DHP...didn't like it, things ended up being in PCM that weren't supposed to be there.

 

Now use HP Tuners VCM Suite and started with an INTENSE Stage 2 PCM file...

 

Hope this helps...there's TONS of information on ClubGP if you have the time...

13.605 @ 107.33 mph

 

so uh, when is that going to be 13.5 @ 139?

[nurkvinny]

2hipsi... helpful post. I have looked at all parts you listed above over the past few days.

 

BTW, I bought a GTP, not a GT.
