Upgrading the GTO
After having the car now for about 8 months I decided to make some improvements. I purchased a 2006 rear bumper and lower valance to convert to the dual exit exhaust. Now I am trying to decide what exhaust to go with. I like the SLP Loudmouth II. Seems quieter than the original version. Also like the Corsa Touring but very expensive. Also will be buying wheels and tires. Really like the Avante Garde M520-R. I would also like to do a larger brake kit up front but not a 6 piston, that's overkill. I think Wilwood has a 4 piston set up and maybe a rear upgrade as well. Since this will not be a daily driver, I will probably do a cam, heads and MSD intake and headers on the 5.7. Not going overboard. I will keep it smog legal (live in CA). Cam Motion has a nice cam .595 lift, 218/224 on a 115, MSD Atomic is smog legal, JBA shorty headers are smog legal, and since I know some people at WCCH I would like to do a mild port job on the 241's or swap to a set of 243's. This will maybe get me to around 380 rwhp. This is a really nice car that I'm not turning into a race car. Open to opinions and suggestions. Thanks
