there's actually a couple other people who just joined with grand prix's as well as many older members. Shouldn't have a problem here. Welcome

I'd go intercooler, headers, N* tb, tune and be done. I'm not real big into the 04+ but the comp-g's have 3.29s and paddle shift right?

The keyword is TUNE.

I wish I would have never decided to turbo mine... :(

i told him to shoot for a 3.5 pulley and supporting mods. i totally forgot about the N* tb mod. im sure if you guys have some parts laying around he could use he'd consider it. Blake, you need to get an intercooler if you want to stay far far away from KR.

Clubgp.com used parts seem to be stupid cheap.
I sold all my stuff already... but XP cam and an i/c with supporting mods can run 11s.

I went 12.6 with a trap of 112 on bald nittos. XP cam and intercooler... stock heads and bottom end.
Could have hit 11s, but I wanted to go BIG and bought a ridiculous twin-charged setup to run 10s. Ended up going home.

Custom tune from somebody that knows what they are doing is best.
Off the shelf PCM tunes are cheap as hell, but are not near as good.

Where's the nearest GM tuner from you guys? Speed Inc? I just took mine to Lincoln on Saturday to get tuned at Dynosport. It's about 3 hours from Des Moines. Kind of a weird guy, but he definitely knows pretty much all GM ECUs.

A few familiar names:

Id say go for a 3.6 setup with an i/c and supporting mods, then you can cram the header/exhaust mustang drivers ego down their throats

3.6 with an I/C is way overkill. Even on a Gen V. People safely/easily run 3.4s non-i/c'ed.
I had a 3.0 with a cam and no i/c even. No KR and decent timing. Threw a 2.8 on, but couldn't run enough timing to justify the pulley. That was a Gen III though.

fuck tunes, chad and i ran DHP shelf pcm's (i just had a dhp file flash from a powertuner) and our shit ran extrememly well for what was done to it...until chad got a little overboard....but i remember his car running best on an adjusted dhp tune with a 3.2 pulley, stage 2 intercooler, and the supporting mods, not even headers at that time yet..

I hear you can use a scan tool to tune with too....

We need to get FoSho back posting on here, i wouldnt be surprised if he is in the 11s by now. There also was a guy from dubuque that tuned too. He ran low 12s with a s1x cam and i dont remember what else, i think he sold it and got out of the game tho.

Me and craig have a friend that runs a 3.4" pulley on an otherwise stock car, always runs 89 gas and beats the crap out of it too i wouldnt recommend it lol. If/when i get a nice rust free gtp and start modding again the first thing going on it is an intercooler they should have had one from the factory.

Also stay away from intense PCMs and from what i have seen the ZZP off the shelf tunes arent very good either. I've had a DHP canned tune for years.


Fifdy wtf ever happend to Chads car? I thought it was going to be XPZ cam and spray but that was when iawbody was still up.

Last time I talked to Chad he told me he ran 11.2 on street tires on a random visit to a track he happened to be driving by.
He also said he was supercharged, then twincharged, went through 3 motors, and went back to turbo? Something like 500whp.... but I'm not sure what parts of that I believe.
His black car was definitely quick though.

DHP PCMs were ok... but I think my first Regal was just cursed. Had like 7* of consistant KR even with a bunch of supporting mods, 3.4" pulley and the DHP PCM.

He was telling some people the other night his car made like 670 or something on the dyno with a 300 shot?
