Any mods to the GTP? If not, then your LT1 won't have any problems with it. GTP's run mid/high 14's stock. Fun cars though, and really nice daily drivers. I miss mine

Oh yeah. My roommate listens to them nightly. That song has been in my head for awhile. They are damn good.

Agreed. 3800's came in buicks too and they respond very well to turbocharging. I am happy with the results for only average amounts of boost. Someone mentioned they sound horrible,...it is true. Ouch, the truth hurts!
