    I believe the front gmpp is solid, the weight difference is significant over a stock one

    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    So does anyone know for sure if the front GMPP is solid or hollow? Seems weird that they would go from hollow rear to solid rear but leave the front hollow.... But then again the front increases 6mm and the rear only increases 2mm so maybe thats why....

    I kno hes right on the size, I had a hell of a time finding a poly bushing at the time that would fit it

    not that difficult. hardest part is wiggling it in and out, unbolting and bolting it back in is cake.

    Someone should add which ones we can pull out of a junkyard for an upgrade. If I remember correctly some of the other W-body cars came with the GMPP bar...Impala, Monte Carlo?

    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.
