Default Grand Prix to LS3

Hey guys I currently drive a modded 98 gtp. I've heard the almost definite news of the 09' g8 gxp to have an ls3. And everyone raves of this site.

I plan to put a blower on whatever my next car is. Once you whine, you never go back

so thought I'd say hi. I plan to visit and post frequently when I finally get one of these in my driveway.

Same member and username on g8board and clubgp.

haha I know. But if I can get a 500hp sedan, I'll be a happy man.

I'm running around 13.7 right now.

hey bud, not sure if you know my username from clubgp or not. I'm sure they will have plenty of supercharger kits for that g8 in no time. You already know the problems with our roots style blowers. I would shoot for a centrifugal like a procharger or vortech if you go that route.

Either way, it will be an awesome car and step up!

Yep looks familiar.

I'm not sure I'm impressed with the lag of a centrifugal blower. That's all...
