Well, I love my '93 SSEi but looking towards trading up to a GXP.
Since I have no clue on the GXP'* a few questions:
1.) Any paticular year to stay with or away from?
2.) I'll want to drop it at least an inch. Anyone done this before? Which Kit?
Thanks,
-TJ

Interesting we are working on something right now for dropping it you can chip in too if you would like basically what we are doing is chipping in $20-40(depending on how many people we have) to have a expermental drop on a GXP. Anyways I love mine when its outside of the Shop. haha. I have had problems with mine and others the same. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't have bought anything else, but that is because I had my heart set out for a GXP ever since they were introduced.

Jet Chip makes a Power Control Unit that piggybacks the non flashable PCM of the GXP
They also make a high flow Maf sensor

Put the two together to accommodate this:
STS Turbo'* universal turbo that will fit the GXP
http://www.ststurbo.com/universal_system
That'll get Ya in the 400HP + range.
Or go with this kit from Zex like I did.

It'* $50 bucks a bottle for juice but it makes the Northstar growl.
