Default Lookin for revamp recommendations

I have a 03' GT manual (Not in sig), Hardtop,Maroon w/ black top. I had bought it used, and it came with a diablo tuner, and it looks like therewere indications that theprevious owner was running nitrious. It sounds like its cammed, it dosnt have CATs, it has a short throw and a shift light.

After a month or less, the motor was ticking/knocking. Tuned it back to stock settings and fill with premium gas (otherwise it'll knock/tick again).

In any case i dont know exactly what was done to this car, and the dealership has no idea. Needless to say im a little worried about modding it in its current condition (fear of the unknown[&:]). So what im planning on doing is replacing the the engine and ultimately making this a project car.

So what im asking from YOU -my fellow MFers- is where should i start and what route i should take? Open toany recommendations (block, F/I, suspension, weight reduction, ect.)

I've decided that i DO want this to be a street-able car, but i would like to take it to the strip andtrack OFTEN.

You should really figure out what the condition of the motor is now. If you aren't capable of determining what's done, it might be worth a few pennies to get it down to a performance shop with a dyno and see what the story is.

LOL, well sir, the car is currently in CA. I was just told today that the car is stalling out when comming to/ at a stop. [&:]
