[QUOTE=up in boost;294517]Yeah will see. I already ran a 12.3 with the neon and i have a better set up now. Hoping for low 11's. Waiting on the track to open:th_depressed:....
Is there a lot needed to get the GTP into the 11's?
ive seen trackslips with S/C setups in the 11's... not many though. Pretty sure a gtp will get in the 11's cheaper than a neon will.
Thats just with supporting mods and big turbo kit with stock motor/head/tranny......
TOO bad the timeslip data base doesnt show the mods on each run
how much u have in the neon for parts?
better yet... heres an example... mods listed.. 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 1/4 mile Drag Racing timeslip specs 0-60 - DragTimes.com
Off the top of my head like $2,500Quote:

12's are fun......
How much HP have you guys seen the stock motor take before it goes?
3800 engine is virtually bullet proof.Quote:

making any more than 350 or so to the wheels is difficult to do without a turbo. the m90 setups usually peak out in the 330-350 area, even with heads/cam/intercooler/etc.
Are many people changing the S/C set up for a turbo set up?
What Venders sell these?
And 800 from a stock motor? does it have forged pistons?
ur right, you do want a black one. with an SD hood.Quote:

no, the stock pistons are not forged. they are just hardened. they chip easily when making too much heat. the top ring likes to close up and then lop off a piece of the piston in about the 1:00 -3:00 area. treat your car nicely and this wont happen. keep your tune in check and it definitely wont.
Ok,..... So.... Basically it could run 10's with stock longblock with a kick ass tune???? With a turbo set up offcourse......Quote:
