If I went to the track now, with my 100x better tune, I assume that I'd run a 14.6 or faster..... But I have basically a stock top swap, many stock GTP's run in the 14.9-15.1 range, so I don't think it was that bad.......I'll bet with a canned tune he cannot run faster than a 14.5 - 14.7, sorry, but the higher compression makes more power on the same boost, but you can only take advantage of that with more mods than an intake and a DP..... Headers, ported mani's, or a Plog will help greatly, remember a top swap is a 100% intake mod, it will only give you great gains (like into the 13's) with a decent set of supporting mods......whoa whoa whoa 15's on your top swapped gp?!?! how much were you spinning? If i run a 15 when i get mine on, I would cry then trade it in for a honda chivic
With my headers, and a 3.6 or 3.5, I plan on being in the 13.8 - 14.1 range.... Hopefully this summer
