With this tool: [http://www.zzperformance.com/grand\_prix/products1.php?id=199&catid=111](http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=199&catid=111)

…and a 2’ breaker bar with a 15/16 socket, and 15/16 crescent wrench.

It was very easy. All the forum people said it’s tough and I needed two people. I did it myself in less then an hour.

This car is pretty f’in quick now for a four door bingo-hall-brawler. 😃

it’ll drop once you get some exhaust on. headers alone are usually good for a 2psi drop

There are several good cams and header options for supercharged vehciles. Go for it.

Still rolling with a 3.5" pulley, ZZP 1.0 PCM, gutted airbox and K&N, and 180\* thermostat. The car pulls very nicely! I’m trying to get to PRP on Wednesday to get some ETs.

I’ve got some ideas- my plan would be to keep the car as stock appearing, stock sounding, quiet, smooth riding, QUIET, and Buick-ish as possible while getting maximum drag strip performance.

My idea would be to add:

Zex kit with 50-shot  
ZZP 3" downpipe (with cat)  
Spark plugs 1 heat range colder than stock  
ZZP fuel pump rewire kit

I need to see what the car runs as it sits now. I’m wonder how deep 13s I could get on the above stuff.

Go out, I’ll meet you there. I’d like to see another L67 in action.

Any of you ever heard of the “PCM learning mod”?

crank sensor variation learn procedure? you need a tuner to do that. it’s used for misfire monitoring and sequential fuel injection, you shouldn’t need it but it is recommended…unless you set a P1336, then you absolutely need it

oh yeah and i don’t run, i just go out and watch

I like the first idea! Alot! those parts will work good. Might not need the fuel pump rewire just yet but it will always help. volt booster too and shortened alternator wire also makes a difference.

50 shot might give you more than 50 since it will also cool the blower. I have set of 1.95 ZZP roller rockers around here somewhere if you are interested.
