I wanna get in too! Thanks for looking at my car again Rhino. I can't wait to get that new transmission in a few weeks. That SS you have is a beast and responds well to be just a headers and tune car. I'm looking forward to Super Chevy this spring. It should be lots of fun.

I miss my 2005 Grand prix GXP. ran 13.6@102 stock but majority of the time i ran 13.8 to 14.0 because of traction issues. i surprised alot of 2005-2006 mustang GT back then. the drawback to those cars is the manifold and how exhaust comes out. its very restrictive.

I'm looking for a passenger side ls1 stainless exhaust manifold to replace my rear manifold. My setup works but there's room for improvement. Traction is horrible with these cars, especially when you start making power.

There's a guy in the LS4 section with a 2006 Monte Carlo that has a built 5.3 engine with T76 and built trans that runs 11.01 at 126 mph. It ran 11.49 on the stock engine/T76 with built trans. The prototype kit by cartuning ran 12.28 in a GXP. I'd love to run mid to low 12s for now. I haven't even been to the track with this combo and Rob at Modular Turbo is trying to get me to upgrade to a Turbonetics T/76 or T/78. I just wanna get to the track first.

Yeah, itd be a bit small, might could throw it on the cavalier! Your car will for sure run 12's chris, just gonna be dependant on traction! I saw a vid on youtube of a guy running 11.6 in a monte ss with a similar setup as yours. He was still spinng bad, trapped 120 though.

The turbonetics upgrade would be nice but I'd like to see where your current setup sits before you change anything.
