Absolutely man, I'll be out there.

I'm heading out there Friday evening and staying the night.

when I had DIY cai,2.5'' downpipe, hv3, incar tune from overkill for 91 octane, I had no problem keeping up with gtp's I raced (only 2 gtp's). and beat my buddies SSEI bonneville from 60-110 mph by almost a car length.

SSEI's are slower then GTP's so that's not a big surprise. Otherwise, a built NA L36 is going to struggle to beat a stock L67. Mine could do it, but just barely. Forced induction is so much better.

Double post. Sorry.

FWIW back in '04 my 95 Bonneville could beat stock GTPs with a GT1, PEMs, and a 3.06 FDR...

Stock GTPs aren't that hard to catch up to.

100 shot is more for the track then it is for a dd car lol.
i would cam if my wife would notice, rockers i could sneak in lol.

If you're patient, you can do it rather cheap. I've got about 900 in my turbo stuff at the moment and that includes a billet wheel pt61, turbo crossover, downpipe setup, black off plate, wastegate perch, and I forget what else. But all I necessarily need now is injectors, springs, bov, and wastegate.

it happens all the time. so yes, they work well.

That muffler choice will make your ears bleed.

Some flowmasters on like a 67 chevelle would sound great but not on a grand prix. I can guarantee that all you will hear is the drone and if you don't you are either deaf or dumb.
