Thread: How much power could this make?

Mod wise I plan on doing..

97-03 Grand prix gtp.


Headers/DP
180 tstat
Cone filter intake
Autolite 104's
1.9 rockers
3.29 gears
"custom" overkill tune
and 3.3 pulley, Not sure of how much HP i'd be looking at? anything different i should do?
instead of 1.9 rockers for a minute i was thinking of an VS cam but it's going to be a daily ..
if anybody could help that would be super

oh sorry, i ment an aeroforce scanner as well, forgot to mention that.

The VS cam is a fantastic cam for daily use. A lot of people think of it as a wimpy cam, but the power comes on nice ad strong and stays pretty flat throughout the power band making it an excellent daily driver. I did a build that had that cam and a set of 1.7RR and it was one of my favorite all time setups next to Greg's DD turbo car.

would you perfer a cam over the 1.9 rockers?
the time frame to install a cam is a little longer but i'm gunna take it to intense in ohio to do it for me. price for the cam (including installation) is cheaper compared to rockers.
but rockers you keep that MPG and higher top end. but a cam is a hp gain throughout the whole powerband

I would definitely prefer a cam over the 1.9's. If you have the money, the VS is worth it and MPG won't suffer a bit with a proper tune...in fact you might even gain a couple.

sounds good man, thanks.
any other suggestions?
i have a $3,000 budget for mods

Trans needs shift kit and service. And do maintenance stuffs...maybe F-body brakes too. Don't put all that in the engine. LOL

Actually that's "make an all around racekar" LOL

why does s1x never get called out? s1x with a good tune on 3.4 or even a 3.2 is awesome!!

dont need a double with 105s id just use a new stocker. double requires a few mods. and start with a 3.4 pulley imo.

I'm not discounting the power made by the S1X...he want's a nice DD...I prefer the VS over the XP or S1X for DD status. Just my personal preference.

bias because you had a vs or have you drove both? i havnt but i love my s1x idles stock slp exhaust makes more noise than the cam..........

Bias because I've driven/had XP, S1X, VS, S3X, GT1, GT2, ST2, ST5...list goes on and on...
