    Well, the 2006 GP GT had the Series III Supercharged 3800, so the 20 extra HP from the Gen V blower is probably the reason.

    The 2000 GTP could also benefit from a tuned PCM.

    On the flip side the GTP will get better fuel economy than the '06 GT due to the lower gears.

    dont forget the gts have a higher stall then the gtps.

    get a tunned pcm with less torque managment in it that will help.
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.
