Its an addiction

I cant help myself here, GTP intake tube, 3 inch PVC and K&N RU 3530. It whines so fine now.

Also, does anyone know anything about KR (knock retard) Im getting anywhere from between 2 to 5 degrees when the car down shifts.

When I was reading up on GTPs a few years ago I remember KR being an issue.. I cant remember however if it was a nuisance or an actual concern.

Smaller S/C pulley. Bigger exhaust, you will be running 14s in no time

My brother owns a 1997 GTX. Stock it ran a 14.9.

He made the hood functional with an aftermarket air intake. Added a 3.25 pulley with an aftermarket throttlebody. Off road pipe. It ran 14.3's with 127k miles. Those cars are quick as ****. Just with an exhaust and chip he would be in the high 13's for sure. His stock exhaust and stock manifolds are killer on these cars.

But hotter intake air doesn't matter with forced induction cars :shrug:

thats what an intercooler is for. hot air is still hot air

 

[TGO]

based on what we went through with my cousin's ex GTP...doing the ubend delete might help. post on club GP though, they can help.

This is the sarcasm police... you're under arrest for ineptitude at deciphering sarcasm. Please proceed quietly into the back of the car.

Needs more $ buying tires for SVTC instead of moding a grandpa car.

Isn't a 96 contour SE a grandpa car...:shrug:

 

[todras]

Not the last time I checked but ok. Needs more manual GM.

Agreed....those motors would be even more killer with a decent manual trans attached....

That intake cost me a total of $0 and about and hour of time. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Haha, I saw that coming. I need to get one of my buddies to ship it out for me since I cant seem to be able to make it before it closes. It is boxed up though
