[GOAT6SPD]

Hey guys

I just biught a new goat and wanted to know what some of you have done to "AMP" them up a little.

Thanks for the Info

[Sarge]

Congratulations....Did you get a 05 LS2? Headers/CAI/Dyno Tune just wakes these things up in a big way.....A4 or M6? Here is a little list of gains vs. cost....

Heres some specs

2005 GTO 6.0
6 Speed
Red outside//Black Int

I am currently considering...some appearance mods and a ATI P-1FC procharger

[Sarge]

FI is good....I'm on nitrous but dont tell none of the kids ok....they dont think us old fella's know anything about it.....Yup....Kooks Long Tubes....Cold Air Intake...Dyno Tune will put 50+ to the wheels and rev much quicker.....of course then come the heads/cam The LS2's are responding very well to FI....5-7 lbs of boost are turning out some great numbers......This Maggie seems to be the choice of more than a few....

I wouldn't recommend another web site....That is inappropriate at the least....we (members) try and promote and patronize our sponsors here....and I have http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1704 ... we should expect the same patronage from our sponsors don't you think? And if you look through the GTO specific forums here you will see members joining and participating here (yes even one admin for the "other" site)...why? Cuz they get real answers and semi mature responses versus the flaming and childish bullshit "over there"....there....I ain't flaming you man...I support you....just had to air a little..

i have got a set of 20's scavenged off my 1999 t/a as well as zex nitrous wet kit with an illuminated red rapid fire purge system so mloud it comes with ear plugs! ntrous system is still in boxs beside the computer nitrous is the biggest bang for the buck--i think i spent around $1,100 and that is with all the goodies,blowdown,heater,pressure gauge--etc...

[GOAT6SPD]

Did you put the 20" on your goat? If so did thay fit w/o rubbing....Im looking into a wheel/ tire set. And what size it up front?. And could you post some pics of your goat with the 20s....Thanks

[camaronx]

haven't tryed to put them on yet i am going to look into getting some adapters today and see if they are gonna work--they came off my 1999 t/a and they are "lugcentric" wheels and gto's are "hubcentric" but i have seen 20" wheels for sale for the gto so i'll let you know---if not i'm gonna have a new set of 20's with z rated falkens with 300 miles for sale

[Sarge]

Fenders are easy to roll...I don't recommend cutting them as there is a weld holding the 2 pieces together......there also is available spacers to compensate that will make your wheel hub centric...you can get them custom made...

[txcosmos]

You WILL need to roll fenders for most 18" and definitely for any 19". I have never seen 20" on a GTO.

[camaronx]

I just got my w-2 in the mail today---gonna use the money to get some goodies for the goat and talk to custom auto shops to see if it's doable---they're 255-35-20" falkens on a 20x8.5 wheel---fairly narrow for a t/a but max width for a goat---not to say that there aren't people out there with wider wheels on goats--anyway thanks for the help and input guys

[Sarge]

I put the Pedder Springs and Koni adjustables on mine...really kills that "squat" with 20's I would believe you may need the same setup...

[GOAT6SPD]

what do you think????

[ctbeiser]

Welcome to board. The Torrid red is what sold me about my GTO. Nice ride.

[camaronx]

I liked it so much i got the red interior too i got 541 miles on the odometer now---you have to click on my name camaronx to see my red goat---it's been awhilw since i been to san diego---how is fiesta island h-street pier and my old stomping ground---imperial beach?

[GOAT6SPD]

Everything is pretty much the same..When was the last time you were here

[camaronx]

1987 i was stationed at n.a.s. miramar working in production control at the aircraft maintenance dep't

Sweet Car Dustin...thanks for the info...What kind of mods did you have to do to make that wheel and tire combo fit?

Here are some chrome 20's on a new holden monaro
