Thread: OK thinking about going BIG

I havent seen many 04+GTPs tuned up and its hard to find info about certian parts and how they feel or whats best for the car. I'm serious about getting a cam this week. I think the XP HOT cam looks pretty good compared to the VS cam. I'm already the fastest GTP at my local race track but I want to show up some V8s over here. Last time I went I hit a 13.5 with super aired down street tires.

Would it be safe to run the XP HOT cam with a 3.2-3.0 pulley? Any better combo or what other products can you recomend. I really want an intercooler but damn theyre pricey

i wouldnt use a 3.0-3.2 pulley to break it in, your just asking for **** to go wrong..

didnt know there was a break in time for cam o_O

thats because youre right, there isnt.

There is a break in when you BUILD a motor...not just toss in a cam.

A WBS Stage 2 IC would be about the price of a cam/springs/retainers/install kit/fluids...just sayin'.

With a Stage 2 IC...I'd say a 3.2" would be great on a little more than stock timing...

With a XP...which isn't going big...an XP isn't a BIG cam...I'd go with a 3.25".

I meant more going big like putting in a cam which not many people do. I just thought the XP is a bit more agressive than the vs and the xpz looks pretty hard core. So what do you think is the best bang for the buck.

The Intercooler from WBS.

It's like less and a grand and all you need are a couple gaskets, coolant, and TIME...oh and a pulley/scanner.

Do I need the fuel rails or are my own fine?

You can just cut the top like most people do and run some hose to reconnect it if don't feel like buying rails...but IIRC, both WBS and ZZP sell cheaper lines that clear the IC.

I guess I've got a project for the winter break with my buddy

Or you could man up...sell the rockers...get the intercooler AND cam and run well into the 12's

If only the wallet was that deep lol

What about this Alcohol Injection Grand Prix, Buick Regal, Camaro, Firebird, Cobalt Devilsown and a cam?

Do you have a tuner?

If not...then no.

I've got a guy that tunes......

No...that's the VS

The cam in my truck sounds like a miss firing engine x10

Only if you keep the idle up like a woman.

My XP loped A LOT. But you wouldn't know Mr. STOCK CAM.
