This is my STE, not too much but a little:

 

1) K&N filter

2) TopGun 160 chip

3) 160 t-stat

4) No Cat

5) Magnaflow Mufflers

6) Ported Exhaust Manifolds

7) Adjustable boost controller

8) 3100 topend swap

9) ported heads

10) crane h260 camshaft

11) comp cams 1.6 roller rockers (not installed right now though)

12) ffp underdrive pulley

13) factory CD player (didn't have it stock and it actually works!)

14) HUD (in the process of installing right now)

15) cross drilled/slotted rotors

16) painted 94+ GP 5 spoke wheels

17) GMPP trailing arms

18) poly dogbones

19) auto gauge boost gauge

20) ac fins mod

21) buick front strut tower brace (waiting for brackets from ZZP before i install it)

22) EGR removed (kinda goes with the topend though)

 

Very shortly it will be getting an addco rear sway bar, and a rear stb. Hopefully I can get a Z34 sway bar for the front in a junkyard as well.

 

Lumina:

 

1) Engine & trans swap

2) Exhaust from TGP

3) No cat

4) no mufflers

5) boost controller

6) 180 t-stat

7) chip

8) poly dogbones

9) ffp ud pulley

10) comp cams 1.6 rockers

 

I think thats about it. I could sit here and list everything done to my dads GTP but I'd be here all day, probably WELL over 50 mods. So I won't do that. Plus its not my car so I don't know if it really counts...

The Grand Prix....

1. K&N Drop-In Filter (installed by previous owner)

2. Hypertech 160 degree thermostat. (installed by previous owner)

3. Booger Shifter Bushings

4. Kumo 711 245/50/16 tires, this size was optional, but was not equppied with this car.

 

Best 1/4 mile to date is 15.779 @ 89.95 mph. Previous owner ran it at Carlsbad, CA (VERY shitty track then), I have not made a pass yet. However, it has beaten a Lexus SC300 5 speed by a few cars and matches the Beretta to 90 mph. This car really doesn't see much use, as its been a bit diffcult getting plates for it....apparently the State of Iowa doesn't think it exsists anymore as it sat for 3 years.

 

The Beretta....

1. Tranzgenic Cold Air Intake w/ K&N Filter

2. Fast Forward Performance Underdrive Pulley

3. Fast Forward Performance Dogbone

4. RK Sport Upper Motor Mount Insert

5. 2.25" Mandrel Bent Side Exit Exhaust (LOUD)

6. Xtreme Flow Cat

7. 2001 U Van 3400 SFI

8. Eibach Springs

9. KYB GR2 Dampeners

10. Addco 1" Rear Sway Bar

11. Energy Suspension Endlinks on Front Bar

12. GM Front Strut Tower Brace

13. Mille Migila MM11-2 16 x 7 Wheels

14. Worn Out 205/55/16 Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP Tires

15. Performance Friction Brake Pads

16. Z26 Seats

17. Z26 Spoiler

18. Z26 Cluster

19. Grand Am Shift Knob

20. Monte Carlo CD Player

21. Xplod 6x9s

22. Kenwood 4x6s

 

Best 1/4 mile to date is 15.293 @ 90.38 mph. This car gets the crap driven out of it on a daily basis. Nearly 160k on the clock, I bought it in April of 2000 with 55k for $5k.

 

The Cobra....everything has been done by previous owners.....

 

1. K&N Drop-In Filter with modded air box

2. BBK Shorty Headers

3. BBK Fuel Pressure Regulator and Gauge

4. BBK Underdrive Pulley Kits

5. BBK Heavy Duty Subframe Connectors

6. BBK Pro-Plus Shifter

7. Dynomax Catback Exhaust

 

Never been to the track under my belt.....but it has gained a half of a car in a 60 mph roll against an Evo 8 and beaten my neighbor's I/DP/Pulley/PCM GTP but over 5 cars. This car is driven daily during the summer months. This is her car, she bought it about 2-3 months ago for $7900 and her 1998 Eclipse. I really don't like BBK's products, the quality just isn't there.

 

The Grand Am....

Currently has the transmission out of it, awaiting a junkyard replacement. Shes had this car for nearly two years and will vbe daily driven once a transmission gets put back in.

yeah it keeps the gas cool, because my dad told m it had something to do with air fuel temps and it burns better, makes more power whens its colder because if the gas is colder, it is denser therefore you can slam more air and fuel in
