Thread: 01 gp gt vs. 97 mustang gt

nice run tho, at least you didnt let a V8 masacre you...

Does no one on here have any of the 95ish wide body grand prix's? I drove my sisters a long time ago for about 3 months and it was nice and had decent pep.........are they just a red headed step child on here or somethin?
sorry I know this has nothing to do with this post but is a question none the less and didnt want to start a thread for it.

If you top swap your car...that thing would probably need Cams, Headers, Intake/Exhaust, gear, tune...to run with you again...all you'd need minus the top swap are headers...and a custom tune.

Nice kill, i bet you took the smile right off his face.

If a npi 2v owner upgrades the cams you can bet on a new set of heads as well, at the very least expect pi heads from the 99-04 gt's. Depending on the cams/gears/tune, it might not be a great idea to pick a fight with one in a GP w/a top swap. Assuming stock or close to stock boost from the eaton.

KILL baby KILL.

all you need is basic hand tools. You might want to think about a tranny upgrade real soon, the 4t60e won't be able to handle a s/c let alone stock power from a gt. You will be faster, i went from trapping 88 to 98. You WILL need a tuner and learn how to tune.

I just helped do some cams on a 2V 98 GT...no head swap at all, its still a dog. I've seen those cars run...they ain't all that great unless you've got deeper pockets. You can make a Top Swapped car tons faster for the money IMO.

Main Page - OpenTuner Notebook Ignore the VE table part. Worthless to do IMO

Yea no doubt about it a top swap would be the biggest project i would do,im still debating between the ssm90 or a hard part top swap.I do want something easy and quick but ssm90 is about $300 more than a normal swap

Top swap isnt more power then the zzp m90 SS. If anything the ZZP Kit makes more power because it comes with a ported blower and lim. Where do you get this info from? lol
