ahh badass is there only thasher or are there different brands
08-12-2012
nah theres transgo and intense, those r the ones i know of. i dont know anyone who has installed intense and i dont know where to order it either haha. transgo you can get on ebay. thrasher....
Transmission: 3800 Performance
i recommend thrasher even though its a totally biased recommendation haha. thrasher causes firmer shifts than transgo like i said before, and it makes the tires chirp WOT from 1st to 2nd, granted you install the setup for the firmest shifts. if you get thrasher there are less firm setups for it, directions for the installation come with it and it has the 3 different setups in the directions.

ah sweet, im only a senior and i go to a tech center for automotive during the day and im gonna see if i can do it there
08-12-2012
oh ok cool dude. yeah you could do it there without a problem. you could probly do it in a hour if theres no interuptions. are you going to do the top swap there too?
08-12-2012
no the teacher is against that stuff :/ even know he was a GM engineer for 30 years i have some friends that put some on other cars and know what there doing
08-12-2012
nice nice, i plan on doing that myself in a few years. then in the far far future i want to do an l67 build aiming for around 500 hp from the engine, and then put twin turbo on it lol. big aspirations haha
08-12-2012
thats the v8 isnt it?
08-12-2012
nah thats the supercharged one. l32 and l67 are supercharged, l36 is N/A, ls4 is the v8.
08-12-2012
ohhhh ok, well im kinda new to the grand prix family so i dont know to much yet
08-12-2012
haha its no big deal man, i dont know too much either but you'll pick it up fast. im learning pretty quickly. you will learn a lot from being on this forum.
08-12-2012
haha true there is alot of neat stuff on the forum
08-12-2012
yup. so tell us, have you modded your gp yet? if so what mods?
08-12-2012
well when i bought it from my best friends brother it had a cold air intake and it was reprogrammed and it was fast as hell i had it up to 135 and still had more throttle to go without 4th gear then i decided i wanted my tranny fixed and and now it not as fast its almost like its unprogrammed, i raced a GP gtp the other day and i kept up with them till the road ended but i shoulda passed him cause his car isnt as fast

So your saying your N/a car is faster than a boosted GTP?Originally Posted by Tyler Sharp
Your wrong on that one.
08-12-2012
hm im not sure what would do that. fixing your transmission shouldnt make your car slower i wouldnt think. are you sure there arent any other mods? cuz i dont think a tune could make it that much faster...keeping up with a gtp. what year is your car?
08-12-2012
yeah the kid said his car only does 120
08-12-2012
its a 2000
08-12-2012
well he probly still has a speed limiter on his car lol you dont. yours was removed obviously since you were doing 135. there must be some other mods if you were keeping up with a gtp. or maybe his car has serious issues haha
08-12-2012
I believe the stock limiter on a GTP is 125, if you take that off it can go 146ish if im correct.
A stock N/a vs. a stock GTP - the N/a will never win. The GTP is boosted.
I raced a friends N/a awhile back with my GTP, i smoked him. i have videos to prove it.
