If you got the money, hell yeah it's worth it. I hear those things on a GT will tear up a GTP.

The only future mods i can see you needing is a new tranny.

it also depends on how hard the car is driven as far as the tranny problems...

as quote from grandprixstore.com

If you have a the L67 motor as found in the 97-03 Grand Prix GTP then also available is an adaptor plate to make the kit work perfectly. What you will do is remove the snout (nose drive), and block off the end of the s/c casing. This will make way more horsepower then with the supercharger. If you have an intercooler installed already, not to worry as this will work just fine with all intercoolers on the market.

Due what!!!!! Unhook the supercharger and force boost into it that way!?!?!?!?! I think that umm this company may have a decent product but remember who drives the fasted grand prix in the world. It isnt Cartuning. I have never heard of unhooking a supercharger and then using another method of forced induction on top of it. And the fact that it isnt intercooled for that price??take your 3 k get a 112 and a intercooler and be safer on a bet.......I think if your going to turbo a l67 there should be a new intake ie like someone else thats gettin ready to release a turbo upgrade...cough intense......hehe and any turbo needs to be intercooled. plus the dont give any specifics on what is recommended for a psi setting.........i would shop around and be extremely leary.......

what I mean is in general how much power does the tranny hold up to? I plan on doing a good amount of engine work in the future when I have money. My goal right now is 240hp n/a, but I want to reach numbers past that.

240 whp i wouldnt say is putting it past it. just depends on the current state of your transmission.

Me personally I'd rather be blown. smile And supposedly a turbo is easier on the tranny because it takes some time for it to spool up so you don't have the onset of torque like you do a supercharger.

I've heard that a lot of people can go to 300 whp before the tranny fails. Like it's been said, it all depends on the state of your tranny, how you drive, yada, yada, yada...Yeah, I would wait for Intense to get their turbo kit out. I'm sure it will be awesome.

I hope that intense is cheaper or at least includes an intercooler.

I just now took a look at this set-up (I didnt know it had been added to the store)...I gotta admit it looks like the simplest turbo kit to install I think I've ever seen...it would be interesting to see if the performance is as good as they claim.
