Why would you want to put the LS4 into a 06 GTP ??? Those L32 Series 3 3800's with the Gen V blower have so many after market parts for them its not even funny. I wouldnt even waste your time with a engine swap, just do a cam, headers, exhaust, pulley, CAI, plugs, HVTB stage 2, colder stat, springs, 1.6 RR, and a great tune.

^^^What he said. Unless you're planning on getting the turbo for the LS4 you'll go faster with the L32(and even with the turbo you can make the L32 faster). The LS4 is a great engine, but there is so much aftermarket out there for the L32.

HVTB = high velocity throttle body. 1.6 RR = 1.6 ratio roller rockers. Cam choice depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Post at clubgp.com or go to ZZPerformance.com and look at the parts or email zooomer for better answers to your questions.

X2.

For a cam, I would use the XP Hot Cam from ZZperformance. As for anything else you would need, they or 3800 performance would be the best place to check parts for and get info from. ALso, Clubgp.com or check for your local GTP club in your area for help/tips/tricks.
