not to argue launching in a Welcome thread but I think staging shallow in a GTP is better. You get an extra 6 to 7 inches of acceleration (just like Brad's mom likes) before you trip the light and can cut 2.0X lights. If you stage deep you cut the light early and lose the torque advantage. _________________ 1998 Silvermist GTP Coupe

Welcome.
Sounds like you will be a nice add to our little community.
Out of curiousity, what have you done to your GTP thus far? Any future plans? _________________

Brandon, Mods so far are flip upper motor mounts, k&n air cleaner, and I made a custom heat shield to keep the heat from the crossover pipe away from the MAF and TB and rubber elbow. Also installed front strut brace.
I would like to get to car in the 13's . I am trying to figure out the best way to get there. I have a few ideas for a ram air intake setup I am working on right now. |

John,
Getting your car into the 13's is a good goal. What is it's best time so far, and what were your 60 foot times on that run. I don't have a good idea of what a 04 GTP in relatively stock form should run the 1/4 mile (OR 1/ , as it seems they very from what I expect from a 97-03 GTP. _________________ 2001 Silver GTP coup 11.880@116.17 Fun Driver

Hope I'm not spoiling it for you, but stock, you'll hit around 15.0...high 14s if the launch and weather cooperate. I ran consistent upper 13s with a 3.4" pulley, colder plugs, 180* tstat, FWI, bigger injectors (03-04 Cobra's work, ironically), 85mm MAF, 3" downpipe, PEMs and PCM tuning. Maybe around $600 + tuning/tuner, if going with used and homemade (ie FWI) parts. You may be able to get away with leaving the injectors stock (8 used 41# Cobra injectors run around $100). _________________ 2018 Acadia

I figured low 15's stock. The regal gs I had (for six days) ran 14.5 stock at 93.5 mph. Good traction and NYIRP really don't go hand in hand. Lancaster usually does a better job preping the starting line. At lancaster the gand prix's best et was a 9.58 and that was with a 2.35 60' time spinning the tires with the traction control on. I could shave a little off by shallow staging, but then the reaction time suffers. |

I've never been to Lancaster, but I've always heard just the opposite. |
