id recommend getting that thing on the dyno and getting a proper tune into and deactivate the DOD/AFM as they are notorious for causing a lifter to fail on one of the DOD/AFM cylinders.

The battery drain could be the rear window defroster or mirror defrosters. I was an ASE mechanic for many years and that was the 1 issue I had with a Grand Prix that took the longest to figure out. Check the rear glass and mirrors to see if they are warm when the switch is not pressed. Also seen it happen with seats and windows. Pull a fuse per day and see when you get the right one if the battery doesn't die after a day.

I made 300whp 15 years ago on a built 4t65e hd and it had trouble living on the street. You just can’t build a 4t65e hd enough; a 4t80 would be better but I’m not sure what kind of aftermarket there is for hard parts for that trans.

LS4 King has what you’re gonna need when this transmission takes a dump. Because it’s gonna happen…. Ask me how I know 😂

I have a 2007 Grand Prix GXP with the same engine and transmission. I completely agree! The transmission is the weak link here. The engine stock is 305hp while the trans is rated for only a 160hp V6. Every one of them is setup for failure.

How do you know...

Something about front wheel drive cars with power is just fun. I have a 1999 Buick Regal GS that was my dad's car and that thing is a blast too drive! Plus it being sleeper ads a bit of spice.

Cleetus you have a huge heart of gold 💛. Jesus would be proud of you taking care of your boys like u do. God bless you and your family and crew

Dude! that wrap is freakin' AWESOME! Smashed it!

Cool! lol I remember when those came out, I was a tech at a Chevy dealer in NJ... They peeled out pretty good! btw, I just noticed when you had the door open, the red jambs kinda looked like 'ol Dale's red roll cage!

Upgrades to plan to do. 1) Upgrade the transmission. The 4T65e HD wasn't built to handle the power of the 303 HP of the LS4 in this car. 2)DoD delete. The lifters fail regularly 3)Tighten up the steering. These cars have bad torque steer. 4)LS 6 intake and throttle body. The car is already cool. I'd like to see it as a nice street car and daily driver in a mini series build. Additional note these cars have cathedral ports for the heads.

I feel like the late gen Monte Carlo was so underrated. As far as styling goes, it looks legit! I always remember thinking that was a real NASCAR when I was a kid lol

Love it! George is the best love his reactions, you are the best for giving him this

That HVAC issue can be solved by replacing the affected blend door acuator.. Also, I know these came with a weird offset for the tires/ wheels. It was GMs way of countering the torque steer in these SS models
