A topical stage one or two kit from zzp is parity much everything u said there if u just get the 1.0 PCM from there u ain't got to do much tuning to it till I start adding more power then the tune can handle...makes shifting points stiffer while reprogrammed the shift points from stock to "WOT" at 6k rpm... IV got a 04 GP GTP COMP G tuning pretty stock but k&n cone filter with 4" short ram setup with factory box as cold air box...ngk tr6 plugs 3.4 supercharger pully with 1.9 rockers and zzp 1.0 PCM...

GXP was only from 05-08 the brakes on a GXP is upgraded from a GTP, factory bilstein shocks are no longer made for it. So you have to either go aftermarket or be very specific with the place you buy shocks from. Only GXP shocks will fit due to bigger rims. Only way to go smaller is to change the wheels width. Smaller rims will not fit due to bigger brakes

I spent 27 years in the US Army and on retirement I was bored to death. So I bought a 2002 Regal GS with a blown engine. Went to Summit Racing got a new long block and starting modding it like a teenager with a new apartment. First thing was ZZP stage 2 IC. And threw away the entire exhaust system and bought again ZZP full header setup. 2.5 catback. dual exhaust. Took the Supercharger , sent it to Jokerz Performance they rebuilt it with new coating on the rotors and and ported it. Took out the brand new cam that came with the long block and slid in a XP cam. Modular Pulley system with a 3.0 pulley and a Aeroforce gauge, just to make sure I wasn't going to grenade the engine. Swapped out the stock 33# injectors for Siemens 80#. After breakin and a tune and finding no KR my brother took it to the drag strip here in Charleston and ran 12.9-13.2 on street tires, then broke the input shaft fixed that with a beefier shaft. Now I have the heads off but haven't decided what to do next. I know nothing about the suspension in these FWD cars and this one feel good but will take it in for work, I'm 6'5" so lowering it is out of the question....Happy Modding

I just recused a Gen 4 96 Camaro off a hot Texas street from a owner that let it sit for a long time. I jumped it and it started right up and drove okay. Everything you said would benefit this 25 year old car. Gen 4 F body especially the 3.8 cars are really inexpensive and overlooked.

The only thing the zzp headers have over the SD is they look nicer and don't have the dip at the bottom. Whatever headers you may end up installing, I 269% recommend sending them out to get ceramic bead rolled in/out (different shops/companies use different terminology. The headers get put in a drum full of these ceramic beads. As the drum rotates and vibrates, the beads wear off into the service of the headers. In/out. Then it's cooked into an oven) Then wrap them with header wrap. The combo of those 2 things will keep under hood temps low, and more importantly, keep your trans cool. That coating service and wrapping is well worth the investment tenfold.

Yes. Because they fit the stock catback. If you go 3 inch just get the 3" downpipe exit from zzp

Rotor and calipers need to be a set, you cant mix and match. For stock rotors stay with stock calipers

It is. But its a big job. You basically replace everything but the block. Zzp has a top swap kit that makes it easier. But its a little expensive

I have a 2002 Monte Carlo SS with 3800 but I am wanting to take a supercharger off of another one and put on it do you know if I could do that without a lot of extra parts or what would I need out of the other car to make it work in the one that doesn’t have the supercharger

First thing to do is read the tuner guide and get a scanner. YOU WANT ZERO KR! Second thing you should do is the intake manifold gaskets and aluminum coolant elbows. I've seen all of them fail. **Putting a 180 tstat in without fan tuning is a no no. Don't do it.** Lol

I'm still in the plain old "fix it" phase so I have to change the oil pressure sender now that I've done the wheel bearing and that's all square. I also have to get a fender and inner fender since it's destroyed/gone. Mods I can afford and seem like they'd make the most difference for my $$ are ZZP front power log, u-bend delete, and drop in filter. Some day I'd want to get the ZZP ECU as well. Would these be worth doing? I bought the car for $500 and can't afford a lot that's not going to make a ton of difference. I hear the rear header and the crossover pipe are not big restrictions.
