the gt guys dont have drive by wire so it wouldnt be an easy install for them but guess what i know us with 2000+ cars have drive by wire tb


the guy says he thinks the bolt patterns are the same

The 2004 Grand Prix GT with the Series III 3800 V6 (RPO L26) has a similar looking upper plenum to the L36, except it's made of aluminum. I instantly thought retro-fit, but the TB is different because of that silly drive-by-wire stuff, so withough extensive modifications, I don't think it would work. The bolt pattern to the lower intake manifold does appear to be the same though. Maybe GM will release an aluminum one for our engines some day? <hr></blockquote>

ohh yea and the remote maf if we could utilize that would be good specilly for forced induction because your supposed to have the maf sensor before the blower thats how grand nationals are set up

Couldn't we simply just swap out the Throttle body? Or is the bolt pattern on that different? Figures if it is....
