180 t stat, intercooler, colder plugs, that stuff (and available methanol injection for $250). plus it comes with a fully custom exhaust (downpipe to tips) your choice of brand(SLP, dynomax, or Borla) all you need is a powerlog. The kit litterally comes with everything.


The 7th gen v8 kit even comes with shift kit and tcm, methanol injection, intercooler everything standard.

Sounds expensive, just pick up the turbo kit you want and run e85, that will give you better gains then almost any other mod for it. The tranny is sometimes just a luck thing. Eventually it will go out, but I've seen them somehow hold out to a lot of abuse.

The full inter-cooled turbo setup from curtuning is only $3900 bucks for the l36. Not bad since it gives you literally everything you need. They have options for headers also as part of the package aditional $$. IMO the best Turbo kit I have researched I am going to buy one of these when I buy a Turbo kit. They also have a 6 speed manual transmition conversion they do. They have one advertised on a 04 grandprix. They didnt show a price on that, but if its under 3 grand its worth it for a manual and a transmission that can handle over 700 whp. Cus 3 grand is what it would take for a auto performance build.

There's no way they would convert a car for under $3k

I know the getrag 5 speed costs 3k and you install it yourself. I posted one I found awhile back. I dont even know what they use for the 6 speed. I think an f40 or something.

Probably use what was in the G6, but truthfully that transmission was kind of weak.

Doesn't mean they didn't build up the transmission (which is even more $$$$$).

Find the information on that swap so I can see it.

emailed him for price and specs. They just talked about putting the built f40 6 speed in his 04 grandprix to handle the 700+hp he was putting to the ground.
