Thread: GTP starting mods, new here

Hi, Im new here, but i do have some experience with w bodies and l67s. i had a monte carlo that came with a 3.4 that i swapped for the l67, eventually i had to sell it, but im picking up my brothers 97 GTP 800$.

I wanted to get some thoughts on some starting mods for this car, i have a general idea of whats available, but id like to get some input on what would give me the best performance for my dollar.

I want to get it into the sub 6 second mark from 0-60 to start with (down the road i see turbos or a TVS swap)but for now i want to get out of the same class as the v6 family sedans.
I was thinking a Ubend delete, a zzp powerlog, a CAI, and a 3.4 pulley (along with autolite 104s, and the tstat) should be able to get me under 6 seconds to 60, can anyone comment on where this actually gets you performance wise? are there better places to spend my cash, or cheaper/ better alternatives to the powerlog?


I appreciate any advice you can offer, Thanks!

sorry for the second post... my browswer refreshed, is there a way to delete this?

We'll get a mod to fix it. For now, refer to your original post for advice.
