If you gotta get rid of some stuff, why are you getting rid of the best one?

well...GTX is paid free and clear. i still owe money on the Impala. my plan is to sell the GTX and SE, trade in the Impala and get a Grand Prix GXP. keep the GT as a winter car.

ultimate plan is to somewhere down the road...throw something like this on the GXP

I see. Once Bob came and got one up here in SLC, it's killing you isn't it?

Your plan makes a lot more sense though.

That is why I called the SE model an oxymoron Tim. There is nothing special about it. ......

AHHHH You Got Me Bob!!!!!!

We are still doing a few things here and there to her car, when we are all done, I will have her go through and snap some pictures of all the add-ons and upgrades we have done. Natalie likes the 3100 for the milage. That turd gets about 400 miles out of 3/4 of a tank with the way she drives. But I told her if that 3100 ever has an internal mechanical issue, I am going to swap in a 3800.

Jerad, I would take your car in a second if I had 8000 I could spend. But I'm sure you want have any issue getting that for it. If I bought it, I would have to use it to commute with, so I would rack up the miles and that would SUCK to do to that car!

Too bad GM didn't put in the 3400 SFI VIN E engine found in the Alero and Grand Am in 2000 and up SE models instead of the VIN J 3100. The 3400 is a much better engine and more mods available for it. The extra displacement makes a difference in the long run and they still get similar high gas mileage. The best part is GA and Aleros only weigh in at 3000-3200 lbs versus the heavier "W' body design of the Grand Prix.

I often wondered that too Bob.

Would it be beneficial to swap on the 3400 LIM and UIM? Doubtfull she would notice any difference, but I dont know.

What were all the mods you planned on doing and have done? The Milzy PCM? Probably nothing significant but if ported and polished a different story. Then you can get the RSM Racing 62mm throttle body or a 65mm billet type. I'm looking at Phase II/III cylinder heads from Milzy for the Alero. Plus a hot cam. If I can get it into the mid 13s reliably then it is a keeper. Live up to the term rice BURNER! It pisses the Honda and other rice owners off when a GM car blows their door off. We've had so many kills with it not worth mentioning.
