My buddy has a 96 Grand prix. He ripped out his 3.4 and dropped in a 3800 Series II supercharged motor. So he's got about a 300lb advantage over regular gtps.

So tonight, after trash talking the whole summer, we decided it was gonna go down. He has the smaller pulley (adds 35-40 hp I believe), full exhaust (Not just a catback) with no resonators, CAI, and some other small stuff.

It was a cold crisp night


We could not for the life of us catch a red light. So we went from a 35mph roll to 85. And he very very very slowly was pulling on me. By 85 when we shut down, he had me by half a car length.

Now im REALLY mad! Im almost positive I could have made up for that half car if we raced from a stop due to the Torque monster L98. It was a real fun race though!


He best time is a 14.3, but that day at the track it was 80 degrees and 100% Humidity.


Give me a CAI, Headers, New Y pipe, and a AFPR and I think im all set to beat him

Yup, better start turning wrenches

Come on, you've had that car long enough, slap some headers or put some 3:42s in.

lemme revise that statement for everyone...
slap some headers and put some 3.42s in.

Sounds good!


Ok who wants to buy me gears and headers?

I'll help you install the headers for free if you show me how to nintendo-wire my car

Hmm, lemme think about it. It's kind of a family secret



I can't wait to race from a stop. I know i'll make up for that 1/2 car.

If you run him heads up, you'll win. 3.42:1 gears, a posi and drag radials should help you beat this Grand Prix guy.

Just get a high stall converter, and drag radials, and you;ll blow his doors out.

Would a high stall converter really be such a good idea? Our motors are torque monsters, not high revving HP machines. If you iniostall a converter with too high a true stall speed, you're throwing away the low rpm torque in the powerband. But as long as it's stall isn't TOO high, it could help a bit. what is the stall speed of the converter you have now?
