My TOG's I can get to everything with a socket and extension, but I'm also using locking header bolts and not the stock stud/nut. I find them a lot easier to work with. I have to use 1/4" drive and a 3/8" 12pt socket, but you don't want/need to use a lot of force with the aluminum heads so that is fine.
There is only one bolt on the front that I can only get with a box wrench. I only have a deep 12pt socket and haven't tried a short socket yet but I think that would work too. The real pain is getting in there with a small allen wrench to tighten the set screws on the bolts! It's not too bad on the top fronts or on the rears, but the bottom front three can be tough to get to with the radiator, wiring, and A/C lines in the way.

If your going for performance regardless with a grand am... and gonna dish out that kind of money... just go boost, SC or turbo... you're a 1/4 if not half way there already money-wise.

2) That would mean you could get a SC for $1K (can't do that), or 3) On your "1/4 the way there" b.s., that would be $4K+, total for the SC with headers, which is no longer "that kind of money," 4) "just go boost"? -- ![]()

Ok so let me get this straight... you'd rather dish out the cash for a SC. ok. great.
When just about every person who went turbo surpassed numbers on a completely stock engine and better times... just saying... and who the **** said you needed headers for boost? log manifolds and a crossover with 2.5-3" dp and you have a low 14 second high 13 second grand am with a completely stock engine. so how about you go cry that you spent more money on your grand am then most guys that went turbo did to get where they are. |
