My buddie has the GTO STS kit currently on his 04. I mean I have looked at this car on a lift many times and was like" Man i know i can make this work on my GXP". As far as the intercooler, they say with the STS kit it will cool plenty by the time it hits the throttle body.

As far as should you do it? HELL YEAH!

I want a f**king kit for us....
