I can't wait to see the V on spray. Headers and pulley will wake the GTP up though.

Yeah, as soon as I found out the results I knew he couldn't have felt good about those races.

Add a little nitrous. Something like a 50 shot will help cool the intake charge, as well as give a good on power. A 50 shot under boost would probably net more power, almost like 65-70 shot. Meth, E85, Nitrous . Sounds fun!

I clicked on the thread thinking of this type of GTX:



Didn't know they made a GTX badged Grand Prix. Looks like he's got a pretty good running one there, I know the factory trans is crapola once you start putting out that much power. Does he have his built, and do the built ones actually hold up?

The trans is slightly upgraded. stock gears though... the built ones hold up O.K. It's really a crap shoot though.

Right now it's stock... when it blows I really have no idea what I'm gonna do. I really hate the 4t65 and would love me an F40 or Getrag 284, but the f40 is unproven and both transmissions have useless first gears.

I'm trying to get the guy with the GTX to buy my HX52 and run a twin charged setup. He's mulling it over.

Wouldn't it be better not to twin charge it with that m90 just to keep the thing from soaking up all that heat and raising IAT? I guess if you are spraying enough meth and running e85 it could very well neutralize the heat soak caused by the m90.

You can also do the thermistor mod to get very accurate iat readings.. I did it for my Maggie 112 on my ctsv and it gives you faster and more acurate reading.

Scream did you ever dyno or track your car before the nitrous?

You mean as it sits now, but on motor, or with the NA tune and stock rear wheels/tires?
