Thread: txslow6's 97 TGTP

I wonder the numbers if those rockers were gone and at least an st1 was in it. I'd like to see the difference lol

I just need it inspected. They keep saying they cant inspect it because I have two monitors showing "not ready". (catalyst and egr) But what's weird is that it passed inspection the first 3 years I owned it, and thats with the catalyst and egr showing "not ready". I still have those inspection sheets. So, they must have changed something in the inspection laws a few years ago...

I'm sure it would have been at least a 50-60hp difference.

Well hopefully you will get it worked out in time.


Time to recap:
N/A L67- 142HP/171TQ-M90 block off, open cone intake, 2.5" dp, Intense Racing OG PCM, 18" wheels

TGP- 266hp/293tq- 10 PSI, intercooled CT kit PT 61, M90 block off, 2.5" exhaust, 42lb injectors, CT PCM, , L67 MAF, 42lb injectors, 18" wheels

TGP- 286hp/418tq- 11 PSI, Intercooled, CT kit PT 61, M90 block off, plog, 2.5" exhaust, LT1 MAF, ZZP PCM, 42lb injectors, 18" wheels

TGP- 346hp/575tq- 12 PSI, Intercooled, CT kit PT 61, M90 block off, plog, 2.5" exhaust, Cutout, LT1 MAF, ZZP PCM, 42lb injectors, 1.9 rockers, 16" wheels

TGP- ???/???- remove M90 block off, install ported LIM, L36 upper, ported TB, HVIII

Reflecting on the numbers it's very possible the torque numbers are inflated due to convertor flash. Regardless each mod has had a significant affect In increasing horsepower.

Sweet thanks for posting the videos. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Now sell your mods and go turbo.

Lol *slaps knee* oh you

New part arrived to add to the collection-ZZP modded rails:


That should allow for me to complete the install of the L36 upper.

We will see how it goes. I'll be installing everything next weekend or the following week.



freshened up the rear. Used Plasti-Dip and it works great for the money.

Hit the first problem- the UIM wont seat because the alt. bracket is in the way:


Nothing a little grinding won't fix:







Had to reroute the whole vacuum setup due to the limited amount of ports on the manifold. One of the fuel lines is not wanting to clip on and that's where I'm at. I'll finish up tomorrow and hopefully start it up.

NICE job on the build, I'm jelly for sure. You're giving me motivation on mine, and I wish you were closer other I'd suggest a contest of speed between the two of us when my build is done. lol

you get the badges done yet? the upper looks super sexy, and i highly suggest a 99+ windshield washer bottle

I would definetly be down! I'm always game for a race whether I lose or not. What's the next part you are looking at buying?

Not yet, HOG mailed out the vinyl yesterday. I should get it sometime with in the next day or two. I'll probably go ahead and plasti dip the emblems tomorrow. I have actually considered a 99+ windshield washer bottle to clean up the bay a little. I despise old plastic and how it turns yellow.

i support this thread.

Nice job!

Thanks guys it's a work in progress. Slowly getting to where I want it.

Just laid down some plasti dip on the turbo emblems. I'll have pics up in afterwhile.
