    He claims he's got 550Hp, and I don't doubt him with the pics he shown of his old 3KGT VR-4, and drag Mustang (as well as his dad's drag Mustang).

    So, opinions and any help welcomed.

    How about not.

    I didn't ask for any smartass comments. What I want is someone to help me know about some these items.

    So far, Godlaus' post is the most helpful.
    I can't answer the 1st part, but maybe he means 3 inch Catback exhaust, and not custom.

    No, the straight pipe generally goes where the catalytic converter is, and is only legal on off-road vehicles. So, if he really does have this, then it's not street legal.

    If you're looking for a VR4 tuner to help you with your car, I can give you a couple names who people who are running 10s with their 3000GTs.

    The thing doesn't look to practical though. what is it that you're exactly looking for? What these terms mean? or what you should do to your car?

    The new Pontiac GTO you mean?? Yes, it has the Corvette's V8 in it...God knows it's easy to find custom parts for those engines.

    Have you asked at the local tunning shops F1_Master? Tunning Japanese cars has gotten so popular, you'd think it would be easy to fing high performance parts for them now.

    the 3000GT is also called the GTO in some places

    F1_Master, I know this is a month ago but i"m sure you're still looking:
    but first off lemme piss off the locals...
    -pininfarinaPIMP...you drive a saturn SC2. sell it and get something cooler.
    -rockefella... grow up. can we say "worst mod ever!"
    -godlaus (and i'm not picking on you moreso as enlightening you...) what in the blue-hell is so confusing about a 3" custom catback exhaust??? I have one on my TT. Had it made by a guy in Jersey who did custom (THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN!!!) exhausts for turbo buicks.
    -toyotakias... No, by nature, aftermarket support for the Stealth/3000GT(NOT GTO in USA) is very limited because many people believe that since it's about 2 fat chicks heavier than a Supra it's weaksauce. I haven't officially dyno'd mine yet (awd dyno's are scarce in MI) but the GTech shows ~400HP at the wheels with my mods which is about 150 more than what it did when it was stock, and my car is MILDLY upgraded by comparison to some of my brethren.
    -clutch-monkey...good god thank you


    now what F1 wanted to know:

    www.3si.org/forum knowledge is power
    http://www.dynamicracing.com
    http://www.3sxperformance.com
    http://www.gtpro.com
    http://www.alteredatmosphere.com

    that should get you going good luck and happy tuning!

    I am looking to drag race it and make it a show car while still keeping her a daily driver.

    BTW to ahkenaden, thanks for the links. I've check 3sxperformance already (nice), and will check the others.
