Headers will be the best bang for the buck and will make more power than a PLOG.
Intercooler is more reliable especially if you want to be consistent.
a ZZP or DHP base tune is a good start but you will need adjustments to your specific mods.
I have not heard of anyone being able to run a 3.0 on a Gen V with stock injectors.
I had good luck with MT ET Street DR.
13.9 is not common for a car with just a intake/catback. I am saying if those times are true there is more to that.
I would also look at private party cars.
No doubt it would make more power but as I said for the next stage of modifications I wouldn't need them.
Regarding injectors, it seems they would be large enough. I could always run a Kenne-Bell BOP. Upgrading injectors isn't an issue again if needed.
Love M&H had great relationship with the distributor in California, very supportive typically track side at major events. For another event I will have to run drag radials but I'll have more time to get acclimated.
For reasons I rather not talk about I can't do private party.
I was going to copy Dime Machine/Toys4Life since his Fiero Formula clone runs consistent high 11's. Given that with driver weight of the Fiero is around 3,000 pounds, the GP would be 3,700 lbs.
Add back 7 tenths for the weight and that setup would run 12.55. But adding a cam is fine but why leave the rest of the valvetrain as-is when the opportunity to do preventive maintenance is there?
That increases the cost. HP Tuners MPV2 $299, Power Log $150, Press On Pulley $70 . I am just being realistic. Add in the slicks and the wheels and it's about $1,200
Given the time table, I might only have a few days to prep the car. That is why I am opting for the three easiest things to do, along with some slicks and E85 I think we can get really close.
hero? a tenth faster than a mag time?
We not saying 13.9 here
Who cares..........
I say OP should go turbo
Mistake on my part, what's 10mm anyway?
If you eliminate knock (E85) and wheel spin (slicks) what would a otherwise stock GP run? I'd say somewhere in the 13's. How much is the pulley worth? I'd say half a second. Power log, maybe a tenth.
You only need to go about 103 to run consistent 12 second ET's
The SRT-4 ran [email protected] with a 1.78 60 ft, dyno verified 255 whp (downpipe, o2 housing, cat-back, S1, stock intercooler, front/rear seats removed, no spare/jack/tool. 91 octane with a bottle of Lucas octane booster. That was before you could flash it with Diablosport or SCT or running E85 was popular. Now cars with the same mods are running low 12's, high 11's.
I added a AEM CAI and it ran [email protected]
One of the few videos found online of that car I ran 12.97@101 as I didn't let the car cool down enough before qualifications started.
The GP is heavier but not dramatically so. I'm not convinced the exhaust on the Series III's is that bad. Now if I have the time I would put a pressure sensor on the downpipe to verify, no reason to be in the dark anymore.
If I have the time I would do the incremental approach because I'm curious. Not against nitrous at all, didn't think it would be needed to run 12.6
Not even going to change the intake? Buy some used 245 or 255 drag radials and put them on stock rims.
I am being realistic also. You be lucky if you don't blow the car up with that plan.
Witch one? I had a blower car and the turbo, the blower car went 14.1 like I stated in a previous post, then it was set up like I told him to set his up, headers e85 3.0 pulley s1x cam and it never made a pass after that, the turbo car before I went completely stupid with it went 11.9 with a 2.1 60’ at 125mph, I never ran it again after fixing some issues and turning it up1quick what did your turbo 04+ end up doing
you need a lot more than 103mph to run 12’s if you can't get the car to 60’ awesome, my truck goes 107 to hit 12.8 and my 2014 mustang did 114 to do a 12.4
I'd look on the facebook 3800 group for used turbo stuff. Kits have been going for less than a grand.
But tuning is going to be your biggest hurdle turbo or supercharged.
Fuel system, cam, exhaust some type of race gas or ethanol minimum to run what you want to run
Injectors, stock pump with a BOP should do the job. Cam I thought of but it's out of my budget if I am also doing valve springs, roller rockers and lifters.
Man these two valve engines.... DOHC, two cams, springs and retainers = Done
I kind of hope he proves you all wrong
when he wants to bracket race 12.6 and be consistent.
the 1 time i went to the track in my 05 non comp g i did a best 14.9, on a hotter than normal October day. the TCG track day in 12 where we only got in 3 runs. i think at that time i was just hot air intake.
