[WTB 89-92 Grand Am]

Looking for a P.O.S. Grand am (w/ the 2.3L Quad 4 w/ five speed) to turn into a race car. The more beat up the better...

 

Location - SE Nebraska

[600 HP on a budget]

I'd do a combo.....STS with Nitrous. Turbo's love the juice!

[-Nitrous Bottle-]

How can you tell when the thing is empty??

[-Please Help-]

Have an 03 Silverado 5.3L 4X4 reg cab. Just added nitrous (125 shot). It seems pretty obvious I need to do something to this tranny. Don't know much about it, or even which one I have. Any suggestions on what to do/add would help! Thanks!

 

ps. Hardly ever tow (little 4whlr trailer if anything).

Which wire is the one I need for the throttle position censor (03 5.3L)?? I see a plug of many going to the throttle body. Thanks!

Ahh yes....pictures do say a thousand words! Thanks!!

If I drill and tap a hole in the Al. part of the intake tube (K&N)...surely that nitrous will be able to make the turn into the throttle body, wouldn't it?!?   I guess I'm just not sold on ankering the nozzle in plastic...

i had it in my stock intake tube for awhile before i got the k&N kit and it held in there fine, i think it works very well in the K&N tube

Are you talking about the plastic part (90 degree elbow)? Or the K&N straight tube?

I have mine about 6 inches away from the throttle body, drilled into the cai tube

What about those throttle body spacers....I know they wont add power, but could I get away with drilling/tapping a hole in that? I'm just not a big fan of gobbering up my intake tube with JB weld.

[Headers]

I'm looking for more tq and the shortys say 20lb of tq.  Is this true?  I want6 something simple to install.  Any ideas.  03 4x4 sub 5.3.  Or is it just a waist of cash?  I need more TQ....Thamks

I've got an 03 5.3L Silverado, and put shorty headers on. Can't tell a dam bit of difference....cep they look nicer. Just by looks, I'd say the stock manifolds are decent flowing?! If you're looking for power gains, I'd go long tube, or save up for a Radix charger.

Where are you guys putting your nitrous injector?? I've got a K&N air intake and where I would think to put it, is directly in front of the throttle body....but thats a plastic 90 degree elbo. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Would I be ok to run the 125HP jets....assuming bryan @ pcmforless tuned the pcm? Not sure how much the 5.3L can handle?? Thanks!

Just bought this kit (#82047). My question is I have a custom pcm from bryan (PCM 4 Less) and was wondering if this would cause any problems? Thanks for the help!!
