hey guys, I dont think many of you know me but I have been a leurker around here for a while who finally regestered and sted quire a lot for a short while. I posted that I wanted to do a 3,5 shortstar swap for an alero. Well after doing lots of research I have found that it would cost me at least 10 grand to do this the right way and that the after market for the 24v 3.5 dohc is very small compared to the alero's 3.4 ohv. So I decided I want to stick with 3.4 in my 01 black gls, and start with los of bolt on mods this summer and then next summer go with the hp turbo kit.
Now guys be gentle, I admit I am a noob to this but Ive always been a do it yourselfer in the past and I am a fast learner. If you think somthing is to hard for me to do as a begginer just call me on it and I will seek profeshional instaltion. So here goes.
This summer I want to put buy the headers (the other guys products) upper and lowr P&P intake manifold, cold air intake with inverted K&N top, and the grand am borla exhasut all from APOC, there prices seem good and I like getting everything from the same place. I also want to get a P&P TB to go with it all. This come ous south of 2 grand. I would also appreciate any body who could give me info as to what internal parts I should upgrade in preparation for next summers turbo project. So to sum up my questions are...
Can I self install the folowing
Upper manifold
Lower manifold
Trottle body
Borla Exhaust
Headers- I'm pretty sure I cant on these just want to make sure
CAI
Are APOC's parts all of high quality as they seam from the pictures.
What should I get for internal upgrades and from where can I get them.
And what do you think My numbers are going to be like with all these mods? maybe 210 horse and 240 tourque at the crank? Thanks a lot for you help in advanced guys.
