How about lightweight pulleys? Any noticeable effect for using those?

I'd ask for teh PCM but that's a hard thing to just buy someone lol

Hmmm.. let's see..... Well, if Santa can help me out I'd like to find a beautiful Asian woman under my tree. Not sure if he's got room in his sleigh, lol.. If not, then I'd like a certificate for a full tank of gas.

na, nothing to noticeable w/ pulleys, also XI brought up a good point about the other stuff on the belt line going out more quickly because of rev's ... kinda makes sense

Id ask for a PCM lol, (you'd love it...) you're getting $100 back after you send in the core opcorn: awesome deal

I forget what engine mods you have done vipey, it'd help if it was in ur sig like I have =D lol but umm... if you have a cold air + some sorta exhaust work done you'd be pretty happy w/ the PCM, and feel some noticeable gain... understanding not everyone can do 91+ oct for gas but 87oct works just fine =p you're just not getting the greatest potential

rsm crank pulley from pfyc is $160 I believe anyways =p


You def would get more HP out of the PCM than a lighter pully, and skip shifts for the win =p I love em

I dont have exhaust work done yet. Too much $$$. I went to the hospital twice yesterday over two completely unrelated things (how's that for luck!), so money is kinda a big no-no right now. I def. want the PCM though! and eventually exhaust. SLP kit probably for the win eventually

iono where to help ya out then really with parts lol, $100 in the end for the PCM is a great deal. Im glad I didnt let it pass up

its easy to install with some socket wrenches and you just gotta follow instructions, and you'll be done in an hour tops. Think mine took less cause it started right away. oh yea and case learn but that could be different with the dealer. car still works it just with the positioning lol, (CASE learn = A must)

Hey as long as we are asking for presents... who would like to buy for me?

I would like:
1. MONEY, lots of it!
2. Laptop
3. one of those REALLY nice digital camera ( you know the ones that cost like 2 grand)
for Car related If someone wants to tint my windows I'm all for that for now!

Try out Ebay for some of the parts, you never know what you may find. Which reminds me I'll be selling my Strut Tower braces from my G/a on Ebay soon and that i need to start x-mas shopping...

Not many Cheap upgrades for the GA.

As long as you hav the V6, the pulleys dont turn any faster(more revolutions(thier the stock diameter) but they are lighter and will make your car rev up quicker, so take offs are faster.

I'd get the exhaust upgrade before the PCM upgrade.
You should be able to find an exhaust shop that'll do it for around 250-300$.

BTW the SLP kit for the grand am is being discontinued from what I read on another website that had them for sale. They were going for $170 !!(+shipping) but they were all out.
Think it was here @ www.lmperformanceparts.com

I just want money and DVDs opcorn:
I also put Leds on my list.
The ones with 6-8 connected for your interior, blue ones at that

My wifes family is wacko when it comes to Xmas.
We always have the bigass get together w/dinner and then spend hours opening presents
Everyone has to open them 1 @ a time,
so everyone can see your colourful undies & socks you got

gotta love the Holidays!

Exhaust would be nice too, exhaust was the first thing I ever did to my GA lol now I have a nice FM 80 series welded up... oppose to my cheap $20 exhaust me and a friend did and made it deep toned and loud "ricey "

Jmoney, when was your manifold gaskets fixed ?

If it was recently you should Not hav to worry about the new gaskets(if youre talking about the Lower intake) they are about blow proff
My SE used to blow them regularly when I was doing WOT all day and nights

I definatly need to upgrade the GT,


...................... its laggon baddly

[Jmoney3318]

i had a leak on the LIM and they replaced it with a new gasket and all that nonsense

[xeroinfinity]

Ya its a big DIY weekend project for the LIM.

I just noticed to day that my GT has a bolt missing from the exhaust manifold
Dont know where it went, or how the hell it came out.

This car is becoming a nightmare on helm street
