This is my first project car and the first time I am doing a full engine/trans swap. I pulled the stock 5.0 and AOD trans out of my '91 LX. My plan is to drop in either a 306, 331 or 347 down the road with a twin turbo setup as the power adder. The transmission will be a varation of the C4...

Me too...performance white lookd great. Congrats!

I kind of like that legend lime with silver stripes idea.

It's called "flashing" b/c the computer uses flash memory so that when the power is cut the memory still stays.

Second that on the JLT CAI. I got great results with mine and it is one of the lesser expensive units. As far as cooling the cabin down...I am not sure where you heard that but it's not true. You might be thinking that PVC CAIs provide cooler air going into the engine than metal CAIs b/c PVC...

Does that include all labor of pulling the engine and putting it back in?

I don't think it was slated to run for more than just a few years anyway. I can see why it failed though. It just didn't generate the mass appeal that the GTO name should have.

I have heard of people running 295s on the back and they did not say anything about rubbing.

Yes but I am 99% sure it is an RPM limiter that can be turned off or raised with a tuner.

Yes you can remove the hydrocarbon trap and it doesn't need a tune (at least not in my experience) but from everything I have heard removing it does very little if anything for power gains. Other than that I really don't know how you can gain more power without changing anything. Pretty much...

IMO the best quality and sound is Bassani. You can hear mine on the dyno here: http://videos.streetfire.net/player.aspx?fileid=0FD4F133-121A-4C45-B71A-BB05078989EA

The '05+ definatly come with Synthetic from the factory. I figured they came with conventional oil for the break in period b/c I have also heard that is better but when I went in for my first oil change at the dealership I asked out of curiousity and they said they come with synthetic from the...

Side exhaust is obvisouly not stock on an '05. Just find out what mods the previous owner did. Most likely the stock cats were left alone in order to pass CA emissions. If they are the stock cats you can switch them to some aftermarket cats or no cats at all depending on state laws and your...

Personally I wouldn't choose either...Bassani is the best overall exhaust IMO.

Here is mine. The pic is from a year ago before I started to disassemble the fox.

Definatly all cosmetic. The suede heated seats sound nice but I garage my GT all winter anyway.

Yea mine has the Bassani x-pipe and cats to go along with the axle back. but I am sure that just the Bassani axle back will sound good even with the stock H-pipe.

Pretty good. What mods on the car. I can see what looks like a C&L CAI. What numbers did you end up with? Also, has anyone seen this dyno video yet? http://www.detroitspeedworks.com/05200mph.wmv Its from Livernois and they claim it is a 0-200 mph dyno run. The car is pushing over 650 rwhp...

One thing that took some getting used to for me was the hydraulic clutch in general. It seems to engage so high up that I thought I was burning out the clutch. Mine ingages about one or two inches from the top.

Here are a few more pics of the engine bay. These pics are from the convertible version at the Detriot Auto Show. I like the strut tower brace. Simple but effective. I would love to get one for my GT.
