Thread: 00 GT track times

2.21 60' is about where most FWD's sit. The only way you are going to improve that is with a high stall and slicks.

And honestly, with that trap speed, there isn't much left in your current configuration.

Thats actually a pretty good time for a GT.

Remove headlight, spare tire and wrench tool, take out floor mats, slap some new performance tires up front, run again with 1/4 tank and see if you can pull off a possible 15 flat at 90mph.Not bad though for near stock.

Thats where the fun starts. That zzp kit is a bit more expensive. Its better to buy top swap hard parts from members and get the gaskets and stuff from zzp or wbody store.

I did a 15.4 at 90 lol that was with a "meh" tune, headers and intake. Cut out open the whole way down the track.

Blah, it's about the driver mod. Sub 1.9's on Bridgestone Potenza's...mid to high 13's with a pulley/rockers/exhaust, all the slicks did was shred muh diff

Top Swap's can be had for cheap if you know where to shop. If you can't find a complete GTP top end for $500~ or less, then you're doing it wrong and need to look harder.

Yea guess i did it wrong not including a tune i spent nearly 1k but thats mostly from extra stuff( all new gaskets, sc coupler and fluid, and some valvetrain stuff)

Marc,

Depending on where you are at...I honestly never suggest a canned tune, there are plenty of people in the WI area...I'd check Facebook or the Regional Section here for locals. I also suggest a solid "in-car street tune"...running 91 octane, a leaner AFR, and a buttload of ignition timing thrown at it. I ran a 11.8-12:0 AFR...which is a little rich for an N/A car...with 36* WOT timing, running knock free on 91...hell...it didn't even knock on 87 with the U-Bend still in it.

Nosed a supercharged car with an intake/catback from a 20-75~ or so...at that time it was basically stock...intake, ported TB, ported manifolds, 180* T-Stat, Poly Mounts, catback that did nothing, In car tune, DIY HV3 insert...basically no more than a hundred bucks or so spent on it.

If you do get a canned PCM...I'd get a DHP PCM. Best mail order PCM's since the platform came out. You can get one at 3800 Performance - high performance aftermarket car parts for your Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Impala, Regal, Bonneville, and V6 F-body!!
