My previous project was a 2004 Grand Prix GT2. it is currenly being demodded so it can be sold. I've had my share of fun building it with a topswap, xp cam, headers, nitrous, and applicable supporting mods. I didn't want to mess with fwd anymore, it was fun for a reliable driver.

I also have a 2005 Grand Prix Base model that I daily drive. No current plans for modding that besides maybe some audio and visuals at a later point in time.
On saturday I picked up my 86 Monte Carlo SS rolling chassis, with T-tops! I have plans to put in a 5.3/ 4L80E combo to get it running this year. This winter, I will most likely add a turbo or two into the mix and see what it can do. Here's what it looked like when the old owner mocked up an LQ4.
As of now, this is what I'm thinking for the MCSS. If anyone has any better/ less expensive alternatives, or I'm missing anything, please let me know.
