hi! i am a proud new owner of a gtp. i sold my bmw to buy one of these cars...i had previously a 03 gp GT but sold it for a civic

but i am back to the W bodies now... i had a question...i purchased my car already modded from a guy out of state...i live in illinois so currently the roads are covered with snow and the track is closed..i was just wonderin if any one out there had a set up like my car and could tell me maybe a est hp/torq or 1/4 mile time...my mods are.... ZZ short stack intercooler with 1.9 zz rocker arms..zzp 3.2 pulley with 180 drilled t state and 103 auto lite plugs...stock manifold but i do have a no car or resinator pacesetter cat back exhaust..very loud....car does have shift kit in it..ZZp stage 2 throttle body with a home mad FWI using stock housing.... i think thats it...if i remember any more ill add...but on the interstate on my way home with my new car...her name is jackson....well see at about 115 it feels like jackson has no power? why is that? and also want to add i lost to a z28 camaro from a rolling start of 45....i thought i had him beat at around 70 mph bout at about 120 he passed me up and had a slow but steady gain on me...why? i have a zzp pcm as well but i am using the stock one due to the prev owner said zzp pcm sucked.....

what tune?

**a98gtp4u** · 01-08-2010

needs a tune bad, headers 2. also most likely port the blower and lim. its gonna blow up.

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010

ps.... car has 160 miles...paid 2900 cash for it...good or bad deal?

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010

i have only stock mani...then the rest is 3 inch pace setter cat back...mufflers only tho..no cat or res

**Ibwrong** · 01-08-2010

Thats a good deal but would be worried how long he ran around with all that and no tune.. I would get a tune first before you do anything else. Why was he selling?

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010

prev owner had a boost gauge in car and said its pushing around 15 lbs also.....

**a98gtp4u** · 01-08-2010

u need headers, 3" dp, good tune 4 the 3.2, if its intercooled, port the blower and lim, itll be more efficient. i bet that car is knocking like crazy. a camaro shouldnt be able 2 run u.

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010

he was using it to drive back n fourth to work..the mpg thing read 27.5 mpg.... he had just baught a new 4 door gxp and said this 2 door was not good since he trying to have kids..he said the gxp would get stomped by this gtp

headers are kinda expsenive arent they..and they dont unleash alot of hp... what is the lim.... and the camaro passed me up around 120..it feels like my car is dead after 120

**a98gtp4u** · 01-08-2010

no tune, u r stilled goverened. they r just mostly for flow. if u dont want to spent alot, put a 3.4 pulley on it, plog and a tune. lim: lower intake manifold.

**a98gtp4u** · 01-08-2010

and a 3'" DP.

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010

Id be afraid to run that thing without being tuned...

**a98gtp4u** · 01-08-2010

With no tune, no flow mods and knockin, no way. U will still need flow mods 2 run a 3.2 pulley when u tune. U need headers and a good tune atleast. Look at my sig, i have a 3.4 setup boosting 11 lbs and bet i can take u. Not tryin to be a dick, just tryin 2 help u with what u need 2 get. Until u get it done i wouldnt push the car hard at all.

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010

can you help me find a tuner...i am seriously new to this....my zip is 61021

**Ibwrong** · 01-08-2010

You can do a couple of things one, contact various vendors to get a stock tune by telling them what you have or if someone in IL has a tuner they might be able to chime in and help.

**killakross5o4** · 01-08-2010
