Those TEP transmissions are amazing, i have one in my 2002 GTP, after i grenaded a diff doing a burn out. Just curious, but have you dynoed it? I am thinking about ditching the blower, and going turbo.

Mark, my friend...well done! about time! LOL...glad to see it running strong! I feel ya on the dyno numbers from the cars not liking the dyno...gotta get a load on it to help spool that turbo!! Im in the same boat...I wasnt event getting max boost until i would hit the N2o to assist...so its a real pain in the *** if they are free moving and no current. Im dealing with a control arm issue...LOL zzp is sending me updated ones cause I snapped my heim joint from torque LOL...
Glad to see you in the low 11's...Im hoping to see your old numbers next season with it all tuned up...havent been to track sice the last past really rich e85 tune...got N2o to throw at it this time too so we will see..Im still on factory guts too..
GOOD JOB AGAIN!! lets keep these FI guys guessing at the line!!!!

Doing some updates to the car. A few pics of the new 3" Cartuning down pipe set up and Cartuning rear manifold. This is a mock up motor that I have which makes test fitting a little easier out of the car! Last set up was a 2.5" down pipe and stock LS4 rear manifold which has a poor design. Possibly another 100 hp lurking with this set up I hope. Picking up the Cartuning built trans this weekend which will now be able to hold the power in 3rd gear without slipping. Should have it all back together in a few weeks. Then, a little tuning by TJ at BEI!

Help, anyone? Supercatxr7, I would like to ask you a few questions. (if this is the wrong place, or wrong way to go about it, please correct me, seriously) I have a 2007 Grand Prix GXP, 4T65E High Performance Street/Strip model from TEP
(except i have the 7/8" drive chain) and transmission cooler, Cartuning Grand Prix GXP turbo kit with W/M injection, and a ZEX LS Series Perimeter Plate System. I am am getting ready to install all these parts, but I have a few problems that maybe you could, if you would, help me out with. My LS plate system fits on 90mm throttle bodies and larger, the LS4 is 75mm/78mm. i planned on using these if they would work with the NO2: X-LINK 2.1 and TB1 or TB2. If they won't work, I'll have to rig an LS6 Intake to my LS4, I've seen posts where someone describes ho to do it while keeping DOD and then I could use any aftermarket TB that fits and will work with the NO2. I noticed you have an LS6 Intake, But an LS4 TB, is this because the turbo kit required the smaller TB? If so, ill have to change one of the turbokit pipes or something. My kit comes with 42.5lb fuel injectors, but I want FAST 60lb injectors and a similar fuel delivery set-up you have on your engine, because I think with the turbo and No2, I'll probably require more fuel than the 42.5lbs can accommodate. I was wondering why you used a Racetronix fuel pump (not the rewire kit that comes with the turbo kit) if you are using a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump that says it works with OEM fuel pumps? I am serious about this, I have pictures of all the pieces in my house and of my car online, I just haven't put them on this forum profile, I don't think; I am multiple forums. I am going to use the NO2 to cool the hot/compressed turbo flow, but of course it will add more HP and fuel, even if I order the smallest NO2 injector nozzles. The problems I am having are the small amount of aftermarket products for these strange LS4 engines, specifically TB and Intake Manifold, and the question regarding your Boost-a-pump in addition to a new fuel pump. Thanks for the help, if you can, or for your time reading this long post, if you can't. I'll figure something out, but doesn't hurt to ask, even if I get called a noob. I figured I'd ask you, because you said you were going to add NO2, and you have a similar turbo kit, engine, and transmission.

Finally up and running today! Just need to bleed the brakes and tie up a few loose ends and then a little road time on the rebuilt trans from Cartuning. Need to schedule some time with TJ at BEI for some retuning. I'll post some numbers once I have them.

There has been some pwnage in this thread.
Super cool car OP. It's funny you are talking about how you can't get traction in first and second gear and have to roll in to it. You know what? It's the same thing in an F body. It cracks me up when slower people talk **** about someone elses car.
One of the things I'm most impressed with besides the times is the transmission holds up.
Looking forward to your upgrades.
Quick question, when I'm going around a corner in my F body and I hit the gas the car gets crazy..... Do I have torque steer?

Broke my input shaft on the 1-2 shift a few weeks ago on my second trip to the track for some shake down runs. Just got it back together and running again with a new input shaft. Also upgraded from a .96 AR to a 1.30 AR on center T4 housing on the Turbonetics 76mm. Doesn't seem to have much lag down low. Hoping for some good runs in a week or two!
