Grand Prix GT and my Dad's 2004 GTO at the track Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 03-15-2010 @ 09:23:34 Reply | Edit We went to pontiac day yesterday at Englishtown. Even though we both did badly it was a real fun day. There were TONS of 2004-2005 GTO's and a ton of Firebirds and TA's there, along with alot of older pontiac mucsle. I couldn't come close to my best ever (in sig). My best yesterday was as follows: 60'...2.352 330'..6.644 1/8...10.234 mph...69.06 1000'.13.302 1/4...15.884 mph...86.07 I honestly don't know why I ran so slow. It wasn't overly warm and I was getting consistent 60's around where I normally do with the car. I know the air filter was very dirty, so maybe the fuel filter is too. I'll tune it up a bit and see if that helps at all. My dad was disappointed in hir runs due to wheel hop. He said he never expected it to be so violent. His best run was a 14.499 @ 100.7mph with a 2.4 60'. He was talking to a few of the other new GTO owners and has a few ideas for next time Also, he's gonna go on LS1GTO.com and get some ideas for improving on the 60' time. He said it even wheelhopped violently when shifting into 2nd gear. There were a bunch of others running also. One guy with a stock 6-speed got a 13.9 @ 103mph. Most of the Autos were low 14's to high 13's (and the auto guys didn't seem to suffer from wheel hop). One guy with a modded auto showed us his best timeslip stock. He got a 13.5 @ 101 all stock down to tires and air filter. There was a 2004 auto with a cam, drag radials, 2800 stall, and cold air that was running 13.1's @ 103mph. Another with a cam, headers, exhaust, cold air, stall, and drag radials was running 12.3's @ 110mph. There were definitally some very nice and very fast cars there and we both had a great time! -- Blue 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Auto, 3.8 rated 200hp 225tq Best of a 15.58 @ 87.3 in the 1/4 with a 2.30 60' and a 10.000 1/8 mile Posted By: BlackScreaminMachine On: 04-10-2005 @ 12:50:54 Reply | Top | Edit Ron, you have single handedly shot down my theroy of E-town and the difference in timeslips compared to Lebenon Valley.

Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 04-10-2005 @ 13:02:29 Reply | Top | Edit Like I said, I have no explaination as to why my car was so slow. I guess I'll tune it up and see what happens. -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 with Hurst shifter, T-tops, Leather, 12 CD Changer Ram Air Scoop, SLP Lid, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellow, and Borla Exhaust; 332 RWHP @ 5450 RPM, and 347 RWTQ @ 4500 RPM Posted By: 25thmustang On: 04-10-2005 @ 20:47:05 Reply | Top | Edit Ill let you know what Etowns like after I get some passes at LVD and then Etown! --

Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 04-11-2005 @ 07:41:47 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah, I think the problem was definitally with the car and not the track. I can tell you that the starting line was definitally much better than it's been any time I've taken my Grand Prix up to Lebanon. Also, after going on LS1GTO.com it doesn't look like anyone's figured out a cure for the GTO wheel hop issue. Hotrod has one though and they are going to tackle that next, so we'll just cross our fingures that they come up with a solution. -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 with Hurst shifter, T-tops, Leather, 12 CD Changer Ram Air Scoop, SLP Lid, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellow, and Borla Exhaust; 332 RWHP @ 5450 RPM, and 347 RWTQ @ 4500 RPM Posted By: CharlesInCharge On: 04-11-2005 @ 11:24:12 Reply | Top | Edit 15.8@86 is good time for a grand prix gt in my opinion.... --

RSM pulled his air filter (it was dirty) and gained a half second. sooooo there stuff that needs to be done -- '94 Black Z28, 383 LT1 Breaking 11's SOON!

Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 04-11-2005 @ 18:08:14 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah, I wasn't even close to my 15.58 @ 87.3 that I got previously. There was another Grand Prix GT there running low 16's, but I've never run a 16 except for one run where I spun real bad and got a 2.7 60' and ran like a low 17. I think the car is faster though, I've read about stock 3.8 f-bodies running low 15's @ 90mph. I think my car is capable of a 15.4 @ 88 on a good day (when running properly). Also, it weighed in at 3575 lbs with me in it. -- Black 1993 Trans Am, A4, 3.23 gears K&N CAI, 1LE Elbow, Dynomax 3" Cat-Back, Flowtech 2-1/2" Cutout, Throttle Body Bypass, CSI Electric Water Pump, March Underdrive Pullies, MSD Blaster Coil, BMR Front Upper Control Arms, 1LE Driveshaft, Rebuilt Transmission w/shift kit, 2800 Stall Converter, 1-3/4" AS&M coated Headers, Magnaflow High Flow Cat, NGK Plugs, Taylor Wires, CSI lightweight starter, Comp Cams 224/236 .536/.555 114 LSA, 1.6 CC Roller Rockers, CC Springs, CC Lifters Dyno Results: 323RWHP @ 6300RPM, 303RWTQ @ 4600RPM, Best of a 12.83 @ 106.6 mph  Posted By: Jeremiah On: 04-12-2005 @ 03:43:08 Reply | Top | Edit Yea, I ran a 15.20's on lid and exhaust with 3.23s and no posi with my 3.8, and I know the GP's can be made quick with relatively few mods -- 2001 Firebird 3.8 5spd: exhaust, lid, cat, LCA's+relo, 3.73's, Zexel posi, HP Tuners + Intense-Racing tune, complete MSD setup, HBHRacing fan switch, SPEC Stage 2
