Whew, good thing I never said I'd beat it...

You did say you would "barely lose". which a supercharged gp with only $1000 in mods would destroy a nicely modded n/a

I am n/a myself with a bunch of mods. But I know the "wall" comes quickly staying n/a.

I should clarify before I look too dumb...when I say barely lose I'm talking you put 20k into your gtp and I put 10k into my camaro and I lose a 1/4 mile race by half a second. No N/A car will every match a forced induction car dollar for dollar if you consider the cost of the car as well. That's just not possible. Sorry about the confusion there.

Especially when dealing with small cubes. We could all go with strokers, but with the added cost I might as well have just bought a V8 lol.

OP: you could pickup a cheap set of L67 heads, keep your intake and whatever you have already, get the L67 heads ported, then install them and install a direct inject nitrous system. tune it for 150 shot and beat probably 90% of all grand prix's. you can get the heads at the junkyard for 100 bucks and then spend about 1000 for some aggressive port work, and then another 1000 for the nitrous, and you will have about 400 hp for less than the cost of a turbo setup.

To be fair it would have to be dollar for dollar, that being said $2000 in parts I'll assume gives you roughly 100hp. So that puts you at 360hp in a 3600-3800 lb car. Puts you at a 12.5 1/4 at best. How far off am I? So with $2000 into my car I could throw $1500 into some N/A mods and pick up easily 75hp, throw a $500 zex dry shot at it with 75hp jets with my lighter car, with red and better aerodynamics and im at a 13 1/4 at worst. A lot depends on mods. There's no doubt you would beat me, but by 2 seconds? No way. Be real. I wish they made a S/C camaro, that would be awesome!

That is not ricer math. I have been driving muscle cars my whole life. I know a lot more than you think. There is no way you're 350 and there's no way you're breaking into the 11s. You're a dreamer man. I'll just walk away from this convo right now, GP owners always seem to hate on fbody owners and I'm not doing it.
