WE all know my car is mostly stock (and a slow ass pos to some). I have a set of older ZZP 1.9 rockers and I want to get 3" exhaust soon. Whatelse should I do to this thing over the winter while I'm at it? I'd like to make this true in the not ungodly far future :streetrac

what all do you have done as of right now? Reason I ask is, SLP is having a clearance sale ontheir converters, which are built by Yank, and they are a 3000 stall. That, along with a set of sticky tires would definitely put you in the 12's. ;)

about how much do u have to spend? ive been readin alot on CLUBGP.COM about the whipple kit that a guy by the screenname animuL is putting together and with the whipple which is a direct bolt on you could be making 265 hp and like 350 lb/ft at the wheels in otherwise stock for so if you have the $3000 to get the kit i would say that would be one of the best optioons, im thinking about savin up and gettin one in the summer

Not looking to spend anywhere near that much. I would like to move out too within the next year

Go with a set of Titanuim TOG headers.
And buy the Novi2k blower and CSC intercooler I have. I think I also have a set of stage 3 H/C.

I'm happy with the Eaton for now. Though those Novi cars move

That thing is friggin huge! The damn blower is the size of my head.
What Eaton? The M-90?

Yeah the stock M90 is working fine for me. Yes those 2Ks are monstrous. Also I'm never putting another Intense part on my car again. Sounds like you're somewhat familiar with Club GP so I'm not getting into that

3" DP/ubend delete. 72mm Throttle Body. HVIII insert. Cam. FWI. and most importantly a good Tuner!!!!! Drop the spark plugs down 1 to 2 notches too. Autolite 605s or cooler, but not too cool and then make sure the gap is spaced correclty .55 or .60 then tune the hell out of it. Shift points, speed limiter, fuel rails, etc...

How do you install a HVIII on a L67?:P Cam sounds nice but I'm starting to get the LSx itch (damn job) Maybe I'll turbo the pig and get a 224/230 cam ground for it and go have some fun if I ever get a strong trans in it :(

I think intense has a stronger drive/input shaft because that is the weak point in a GTP transmission. I know there's a writeup on installing the HVIII insert on ClubGP. Saw it a couple of weeks ago.

I will never install another Intense part again. I had a Gen 2 diff already and I saw what they did to the owners of the Gen 3 rocker arms f them

Its tough not making a clever edit :P I'll get one someday as a toy I suppose or maybe do a RWD conversion on another GTP roller:dontknow:
stay with the GTP, i have both cars, and the GTP has alot of potential and is an awesome sleeper, there is a nitrous kit that you can buy, adustable from 55, 65, 75.
a friend of mine on another site has a 04 cobra, and with his 55 shot, it produces alot more than 55 on the dyno, it cools the supercharger and makes more power :) just a thought, i am looking into getting a kit, and a girl i know is getting it and the laptop tuner for her 98, and alot more other stuff.

If you've got the money why not talk to ZZPerformance and Turbo it. Custom cam and a few other mods with the turbo to put out about 600 horses. Now that would be sweet!

yes it would be nice, but it is alot of money to do, if i had the cash, i would diff. do it
