GTP Build. Sub 13 Second 300whp goals!

Basically a direct swap ill post a thread later with info.

I'd stick w/ a 3.4 first and make sure you don't have any knock and that your pulling good timing when it comes tune time. Knock is what kills majority of our motors.

So why can't I run a 3.25 on whatever gen blower is in the car now? And why would I need to modify that stuff just for a bigger throttle body?

It's not cheaping out on an intake. You are essentially buying a 200 dollar piece of plexiglass or rubber/plastic.

I've been running homemade intakes for the last 5 years now, no issues.

If ninja'd one more time I'm going on a rampage.

**machinegunsquid** · 01-29-2013

The L67 (Gen 3) Throttle body wont bolt directly to a Gen V supercharger. ZZP sells an adapter plate to mate the 2.

**Matt Palm** · 01-29-2013

if you stick with a gen 3 you can run a 3.25 but i wouldnt right away

I prefer to stick with the basics when it comes to gauges since the Aeroforce can be cycled. Only the major things like of course a WB and oil pressure I keep separate.

It's a 1999

**Matt Palm** · 01-29-2013

so you have a gen 3 they went to gen v in 04

**machinegunsquid** · 01-29-2013

Best option is the Gen V swap. Research it, and you'll see all the benefits to it.

Start with a larger pulley, and work your way down to the smallest pulley you can run without any knock.

If you want to maximize your power, consider a full-size intercooler

**camopaint0707** · 01-29-2013

Ok. Well I haven't heard that it's possible to swap superchargers. How much do newer generation blowers usually go for?

**Matt Palm** · 01-29-2013

mmm 300 usually

what do you mean full size intercooler? Do you mean something like this? ZZPerformance - Intercooler #ZZ-FSIC-38

**REDCRAPGP** · 01-29-2013

Correct

**Slick2500** · 01-29-2013

Wondering why we say dont spend $200 on an intake read this thread http://www.grandprixforums.net/dyno-...ake-33225.html
This does just as well and costs about 1/4 as much http://www.grandprixforums.net/simpl...res-33351.html

**camopaint0707** · 01-29-2013

Yeah not gonna spend $1000 bucks on that setup. That's like nearly the price of this entire build. Ok I'll look into other intake options. What about just a throwing a K&N filter in the stock airbox? How good is the stock airbox setup?

**Matt Palm** · 01-29-2013

you dont want the stock setup just slap a cone on the tb

**camopaint0707** · 01-29-2013

Alright alright. Is my future setup going to be enough though to break 13 seconds?

**Matt Palm** · 01-29-2013

um you should be in the 13 for sure

**camopaint0707** · 01-29-2013

and 300whp?
