hey yall its me gtman just had to get a new name cuz lost the old password and the email account it went to. but yea quick recap on the last year and ahalf. i join the army makin money got a new grand prix. its a 2003 bright red with everything but the hud. im gettin deployed in a month to southern baghdad and once i get back in 15 months or so i want to mod my gt and also get a gtp for my brother(dont know which one i want yet) i have many plans for both of them. i was wondering what it would cost to get the gt turbo'd and the gtp blown more and wantin them to be around 13 sec cars? anyone know how much money would be involved? and any suggestions?

what unit at 101? I was in C 8BN AVN several years back. what MOS?

13 sec? You might wanna talk to Chico, 2fast4u, AustinGTP, or Rook. There are a few others that are quite quick, but I cant remember who they are.

As for the GT... turbo will get you into the 13's easy.

As for the GTP... for a solid mid to low 13, you're looking at headers, cam/rockers, 3.25ish pulley, and all the other supporting mods.

If you're only looking for a 13.9 in the GTP, get a downpipe, intake, colder plugs, PCM, and a 3.4" pulley and assuming the track is prepped well you're there.

yeah it all depends on what kind of 13s yoru looking for...13.0 or 13.9 big diffrence

let us know right where you want to be

PS once you start makeing some power the only way to hook up is slicks or a varrryyyy light foot

im starting to encounter this problem

Gtp can get into the 13's with about 500-600 bucks...

The GT Turbo'ed and intercooled can be a easy 13 second car with just the kit. ZZPerformance.com is going to be your best friend with everything you need for either car. They have the fasted GP in the world on the stock bottom end. The turbo kit with intercooler will set you back about 4 grand.

They also have the fastest FWD Grand Prix, period. lol

so not that much money. but im lookin for a really fast gp on both of them. but im in 3-187 the rakkasans!! but im gunna make a nice lil change from this deployment and i want a fast street car and beable to make some money of it so say i put about 4 grand in the gtp and ill put more into the turbo cuz its gunna need it right>?

If I had removed my drivers headlight, removed excess weight (spare, jack, and everything else in my trunk) and if there wasn't a 15mph head wind, and if track prep wasn't as horrible as it was, I think I could have gotten into the 13.9 mark.
I was actually glad I stayed in the 14's. I decided that's where I want to be because anything in the 13's required a helmet, and I didn't have one.

The only mod that's not listed in my sig is a 180* T-stat, undrilled.

oo forgot im 11b gotta love infantryman!!

I'm running an undrilled 180 as well. I like my car to get warm fast when it's 9 degrees outside.

ok basicly i want to put about 9gs in each car and i want them to be quick.low 13s maybe 12;s if possible. idont know much bout mods but all i know is i want fast and powerful

94R2P2B (tryin to be 51C). In order: Lifeblood Of The Apache, Second To None, NSDQ, Knights, G-Force, and then where Im at now, which has no motto.

Dont forget the tranny work that you'll need to do. These trannies and diffs dont like much more than stock power, and (from what the guys here were sayin) will let you know.

You're gonna want some suspension work done, too to handle that much power pushin that heavy of a sled around. These cars weigh 3500-ish pounds. Without good suspension, brakes, and tires, you just will not be able to handle your GPs.

Good luck, Air Assault. Let us know how you're doin and how the cars/parts are goin.

Is this your first deployment? What rank are you? I don't know your financial situation, but most dudes blow all their deployment money on booze and girls and cars when they get back. I would reccomend that you pay off all bills (if you have any) and set aside some money for the future. Make sure you are financially secure and then spend whatever is left over on your cars. No bills means mo money to spend on mods and still be able to take a girl on a date in your fast car.

You said 9gs on each car? $18,000 on two cars would be friggin sweet, but depending on your pay grade when that money is gone, its gone. Living pay period to pay period will not be so sweet, especially when you got no money for premium fuel or food.

Gotta love NCOs, Duty First, 1 ID.

By the way I think we worked with your unit in OIF I and OIF III. Some INF elemant helped us out in Tal Afar last time, good bunch of guys.

Jeebus... nine grand on each car? For that you should easily be in the 11's
