    Hello everybody! I just bought me a 2005 Grand Prix GTP with the CompG package. I love it! It's mostly my wife's car but I'll be driving it some too. I'm a horsepower junkie that has had a lot of different cars/trucks, ranging from a Procharged Dakota, 95 Trans Am, 2 different Dodge Ram single cabs w/Hemis, a 13.1 second reg cab 06 Silverado, and finally a 98 C5 Corvette (my dream car that I recently traded straight across for the 06 Silverado).

    Anyway, I'm looking for a few extra ponies on the GTP, a 15 second car doesn't cut it for me lol. Plus my wife will probably be running it down the track while I run the Vette. I would like to see it run low 14's at 100mph or so. I'm thinkin a CAI, down pipe, tune and 3.6 pulley ought to get me there. Or do you guys think I need a smaller pulley? The DA I typically run in is around 2000 feet.

    It looks like you've got a nice toy collection.

    Here's some great info on modding:

    Hi.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.
