Thread: Ballparking power gains

If 14* is all it would take, with less than stock AFR, then it needs a larger pulley.

Like I said, I'm sure it's no faster than a stock car.

I don't understand your logic here. I've driven stock GTP and GTP with mods like his and mine, and ours is way faster than stock.

Both with enough timing and the right size pulley.

Because it's an easy question to answer. I'm sure at least 51% of the forum could answer it correctly, and that's saying a lot.

Let's take a quick look at rickisrad's setup:
2004 Comp G. Pacesetter headers, 1.8 roller rockers, Wizair CAI, Overkill'd, 3.4 pulley, ZZP transmission, fuel pump and alt rewire, poly mounts/performance suspension, Impala front brakes drilled and slotted rotors. blah blah blah

If you think that should be the same feel or quickness as a stock GTP, I don't know what to tell you.

Maybe everybody who has been putting money into modding has been throwing their money away (more than we know)...

Butt dyno is so accurate. Posts like this go to show the max laughs.

Where are the actual numbers?

If you have nothing to compare to stock, it's all toss-ups and prayers.

I could put a 3.0" and an intake on a GTP and say it feels way faster than stock, but I'm sure in the real world, it isn't.
