Which is easier to get in the 12s,,a TTA or GN?

[JOHNDEEREGN]

Guys, I now own a 20k actual mile TTA and an 86 GN with 18k actual miles

I want to put one of them in the low 12s high 11s with just bolt ons if possible. Which one would be easier?

I assume the TTA because of traction, heads, intercooler, etc.

Your opinions would be appreciated

TTA hands down. From what I've observed at the track in the past, a TTA will typically run .4 to .5 seconds faster than a TR with the same mods. I think you can accomplish your goal on the TTA with a TE-44, blue tops, FP, regulator, chip, filter, alky or 116, stickies, and exhaust. Just my .02's worth.

Thanks

Mike,,I will prolly save the GN and Mod the TTA or sell it :biggrin:

Let me know if you plan to sell the TTA. Not sure if I'll have the money, but right now I'd rather have a TTA than my GN.

It took me 10 years to get my GN to trap 123mph+, it was less than 3 summers for the TTA. I had my TTA trapping 120mph with nothing more than a SMC alky kit, 2.5" ATR DP (stock exhaust elbow), power plate, Walbro 340m, and a TE44....everything else was stock OE.

Depends upon whether the t tops on the TTA blow off...

Both your cars sound really nice, I wouldn't mod either one. Find a higher mileage example and go nuts!!!! :biggrin:
