Silver GTP @ NED on 10/21?

[V8Killer]

Murphinator was this you? Me & my buddy talked to you for a while (near the end of the night). Need some advice on S/C mods.

 

[Pronto]

Yup, that be him.

 

[murphinator]

yup that was me

you probably saw this pass against the turbo cobalt that was trapping 119 that night

YouTube - GTP 2


what are you trying to accomplish on what vehicle at what budget ?

supporting mods should always be first - dont touch the pulley until you have full exhaust upgrades

Nice pass, the only bummer is the money it takes to go low 12's in one would get a GN in the 10's.

I have $4300 all in total in the car (including purchase of car) and plan on having a car in the 11's that I have under $2500 in next year - allready have all the goodies just need time to get it all together

I would meet you at the track , run low 12's @117 and turn the title over for $5000 wed or fri

the beauty of the series 2 is that the stock - as in factory assembly , never apart has been 8.6 @158 + , the guys that build short blocks blow them up , factory assemblies is where its at

vid of 8.6 pass on stock short block:

Well, i have a body rotted 97 GTP. I need a doner vehicle & want to go low 13's for as cheap as possible (i am pretty handy at doing stuff myself). Can you give me a basic breakdown of basic mods (especially free)? Best way to tune pcm. Do they have an HP Tuner for that app.?

I have a few donor vehicles we can talk about - got a decent silver gtp with black leather , heads up display , moonroof , 108k miles lower end grenaded

here is a link with pics & pricing:

New England Pontiac Enthusiast Club :: View topic - 97 gtp for sale 108k bad engine $950 or less depending......

I also have a white gtp that has a bunch of dents/bruises etc but may be solid enough for you - I bought it for the cammed low miles motor thats in it , the bolt on mods , and the polished torque star wheels - I wouldnt be looking to retire on the shell

hp tuners is the only game in town currently for tuning 97 & up gtp's

best free mods would be weight reduction and cable mod for traction , make your own fenderwell intake , 2 range colder copper core plugs such as autolite 104's , drilled 180 t stat , flipping motor mount bushings

if you plan some weight reduction for the car depending on how low 13's you are talking it wont take much. full weight car will go low 13's on headers , catback , 3.4 pulley , 1.9 modified rockers and a tune with good traction and driven properly

my 200k daily driver has gone 13.5 @ 104 with powerlog , ported rear mani , 3" downpipe , homemade intake , stage 1 throttle body , 3" catback , and a tune with only the spare & jack pulled ( see vid of one of many 13.5 passes in my sig) and 13.1 @ 107 on a small dry shot - stock cam ,rockers , no headers !
