Default Finally got my '04 GTO tonight!

After a couple weeks of working at it, I finally changed over from my GTP to a GTO! 2004 w/ 53k miles, everything is in beautiful working order...This thing is a monster. Only thing the previous owner did to it was add an SLP lm1 exhaust. I plan on adding several modifications over the next while and will post my projects. Just pumped to finally be in the GTO world!

Thanks! I am in love with this thing. Been out detailing and cleaning her all day, so I will definitely be posting some pictures soon. Also, does the PCM in the 04 have an output for OP? I would like to install an OP and volt gauge soon and can't find definitive answers on whether or not I need to actually tap for the OP.

There's actually a 'secret' menu you can access on the dash by holding the mode and set buttons then turning the car on. I know it has a voltmeter and a bunch of other stuff but nothing for OP as far as I know.

congrats on the new ride! i can garantee you will love it as long as you have it. all i did to my 04 is in my sig. and i am doing 400rwhp and 389rwtq. you think it is a beast stock then go mod it. you better know how to drive it or you will not have it very long. mine is still on stock suspension and it gets very squirlly even with the t/c on.

Thanks everyone! Added a resistor today to eliminate the CAGS which was the first thing i really wanted to do. Next I am going to add new intake and a short shifter - i was surprised at how long the throw was. Planning on adding modifications to her one step at a time, I would like to build it up to ~400rwph over time. And here are a few pics after a cleaning session...Finally got my '04 GTO tonight!-photo0159.jpg
