    What is the cheapest route to take to get mid-low 13's for a 98 GTP?
    (Not rigged though, needs to be a reliable DD)

    All feed back is appreciated.

    "Cheap, Fast, Reliable. you can only pick two!"

    to be fast and safe you will need to spend some $$ Here is my suggestion:

    -Gen V and North star TB
    -Full Size IC with a quality pump and FMHE
    -Cam
    -L76 springs
    -and other little items to keep everything safe, not to mention work for the trans.
    -Headers

    Correct me if im wrong but i thought Full size IC were well over 1,000$
    and isn't a gen v a little below that as well?

    Read the comments.

    It was atleast 100º outside and he had mad KR issues.

    Think 70ish outside with a REAL wideband tune and 13's should be easy if you can drive.

    Where you are at on the sea level scale will also determine your times.

    So 3.4, sd headers, open cone? , and plugs + tune will give me high 13's?

    1. i heard you shouldn't change your plugs since there is only a 1% fail rate, but if you insist which plugs?
    2.open cone or fwi?
    3.Where do i get a tune specific for my mods on my car? By doing it your self run a big risk of ruining your car/performance?

    Iv'e read up a ton on cams for GTP's(3800) and the biggest issue seems to be boost bleed, which one has the best hp/non bleed gain?

    lower boost is actually good. some people are mad when they do a cam and see lower boost... what they dont understand is the engine is using more air... so less pressure it built up. I would rather have Zero boost and use all the air then have 20lbs and not make nearly as much power.
