as long as you change the water pump too youll be good with any opti the main reason the fail is because the waterpump leaks on them

I got a Gm Performance also. It was spendy, but I didn't know about Chandler Motorsports at the time. I might go with Chandler the next time I change mine, if they're still around.

I only put about 3K miles on my car a year. Too much stuff to do where a Camaro just doesn't have the cargo capacity.
