G60 Corrado

Just picked one up, anyone seen these things? I know stock they are 2400 lbs and came stock with 158hp. With a performance chip they gain about 40 hp, then with air filter and going from a stage 1 to stage 2 supercharger. I'm guessing it should be able to pull 215-220 hp.

How would it compare off the line with the 350 tpi's?

Still have my 87 v6 but figured it would be cheap on gas and give me some performance instead of dropping a 350 into my firebird.

What do you mean stage 1 and 2 supercharger? Are you talking about just getting a smaller pulley?

Its been ported for better air flow and a smaller pulley.

LOL, you'll see less than 10HP at the wheels with a chip. And chipped, with a custom CAI, full exhaust, and drag radials the best a coworker could get his was low 15s at just over 90. How will it fair against a L98, you decide. The only car I've ever heard of making another 40HP with literally just a chip is another VW, the 1.8T.
