Thread: Pros and cons of GTP??

[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....

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.

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

SRT4 will go faster for cheaper (parts wise)

cost for car vs car is way different.

2500 in used parts will get u in 12's with a GTP

if you know what youre doing maybe.

SRT4 will still be faster.

How much HP have you guys seen the stock motor take before it goes?

3800 engine is virtually bullet proof.

800+ on a stock block without much issues. so long as your tune is in check these motors will take anything you throw at them.

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.

What Venders sell these?

And 800 from a stock motor? does it have forged pistons?

800 from a stock crank and block....so yes, forged pistons. if you want to go turbo and haven't bought a car yet, get a GT not a GTP. higher compression=more hp/boost. and i hate seeing M90s with block off plates, not everyone can have a supercharger

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.
