Ya hit the nail on the head

Let's see it then buddy. Prove me wrong. I know what a Karmann Gheya is...my mother drove one of those pieces of **** in the 80s. I just know how to buy parts...I can't turn wrenches or fabricate...
On a side note, what a waste of a perfectly good LS. At LEAST mention an LS swapped 240 or RX7...

Just to prove it can be done, but it looks like way to much work than what its worth
Tom K of Texas is the proud owne

Big whoop, he has an LS4 Impala in a '97-03.

do what?, thats an ls6 in an 01 GP

so 400 CHP in a FWD boat?
Still not "fast"

Many tracks accross the US will not allow you to run your car in the 1/4 if you have an STS style turbo system... Just giving you the heads up... Not sure why..

oil lines.

i understand its not crazy fast, i was just posting it showing it was possible,( by someone with far more time and probably money, and admiting more knowledge), still thought it was a hell of a job
and thanks for the heads up

rear mount turbo is dumb because heat is energy.
better to utilize that energy than to waste it.

I don't give a big shat if it's a frickin' 7.5L LSx with twin 106's on it- He didn't fabricate anything to stick an existing config into the car. I thought you were barking fab skills and RWD conversion earlier, btw?

To whom might you be referring?

I guess all of this should of been more clear, i was simply asking if anybody had done it before and if so was it worth the time to do compared to modding a 3800, i wasnt saying i was some great fabricator or that i wanted to make the car rwd, all someone would of had to say was waste of time, just like this forum and modding a grand prix, i must of been on dope to think about modding a v6 in a boat or to even waste my time thinking about wasting an ls1, your right, the grand prix is a good car but a waste of money to modd and to that i must say you can all blow my balls, oh and 02 WS6 TA you really shouldn't take pics at a drag strip and act like its your car

The 3800 isn't a terrible platform. You will benefit most out of it by going the turbo route. Otherwise, you will spend useless amounts of money staying S/C only to get you into the 12's. However, some people are happy with that. I opted to go turbo and built trans for a fun daily. After crossing over into the turbo world on it I cant believe I even bothered with a S/C setup. The turbo route opens endless doors for performance.

Right.
