If you are looking for parts checkout americanmuscle.com and latemodelrestoration.com .

Speaking of which, have you come across part numbers or a kit for the Boss front spoiler ?

cjponyparts.com is another resource. They have good sales on a regular basis. I prefer the vendors that Mark mentioned though.

CJ is another great resource as stated they do specials all the time. I am waiting for them to do a gt500 rear spoiler special so i can get one. I've read they put them on special every couple months.

I have the code for 5% off at latemodelresto when you want it. Just pm me.

Hey .......Mark.......

What are the "good mods" ? I've seen info about tunes for pretty cheap and a number of threads about Steeda CAI and Cat backs and etc. What are some good ways to add a couple of HP ?

Great choice on all counts. Does it have the Brembo Brake Package or the GT Track Package (which includes the former)?

I test drove one just like yours last fall. It's a great car and, like you said, one of the best options out there if you need the back seats (as I do, too).

My car stock was a 3.31 car. The previous owner put a Steeda intake in, Bama 87 octane tune (3 tunes), upgraded to 3.55's, and a GT500 axle back. Stock these cars put down 360 at the wheels. For $600-700 you can get an intake and tuner and put down 400-410whp all day long. I used to blaze the OE 235's all day long in multiple gears. Now that i have 275's all the way around i just hooks. At this point i see no need for any additional go fast mods. That should say something..

If i do do anything next to add more speed it will be a Boss intake plenum. American Muslce has a really good package deal for the intake, plenum, and tune for right at $1200. Only issue is if you have the OE strutbar you will have to upgrade to clear the plenum. $1200 plus the cost of the new strut bar nets you 420+ whp. If i don't do the plenum i may go to 3.73's but like i said, it's plenty quick where i want to do some cosmetic stuff first (front grill and chin). I do need to upgrade to a 91 octane tune though. http://www.americanmuscle.com/boss-p...ck-1112gt.html

BTW my boss's 13 track pack has an air raid, bama 91 tune, accel coils, and is a 3.73 car. It's really quick too. If you were local, i would let you drive em both.

I didn't realize there were two different things. How do you tell? I don't have the sticker in front of me.

If you're in the garage, pop the hood and (I think) look for the 5W-50 oil filler cap. If you're at the computer, paste your VIN at the end of this URL:

I found a link that says the GT track pack has an oil cooler, the boss radiator and a torsen 3.73 axle. I'll have to take a closer look tomorrow.
