While cruisin with a friend, we noticed a honda and a gtp racing, the gtp won by a fairly large margin so we followed him and asked him to race and he agreed. We went from a dig and it was preaty much even until second gear when i put a carlenght on him and it ended up preaty much the same. I got him by about 1 1/4 cars, but only went to around 105mph since the new PCM i got has a speed limiter set at 105. He wa driving alone and got the inside lane on a small curve, while i had a 210 pund friend and 100 punds worth of audio equipment.

I tought i was going to be able to get him by more than that, but i guess i need a tune for my cam and heads.

what do you guys thinks about the GTPs, btw his was stock

 

The last one I raced at the track, ran a 12.3. Not stock of course. But, I've raced quite a few in the high 13's-low 14's with minimal mods.

 

I liked em when they came out but it kinda wore off quick, they can get moving w/ mods id still rather a v8 though

 

Good Kill, GTPs can be made fast with minimal mods. What are impy heads and cam?

 

There heads of an impala which flow a lil more, and the cam which makes more torque dow low but drops off sooner.

 

Oh ok, thanks. But why did you opt for them versus another heads or cam setup?

 

Didnt really opt for them. My old engine went dead and i got ahold of a LT1 of a impala, and didnt bother to swat the heads and cam. It feels stronger in the lower RPMs but after racing the GTP i think it lost some power up top. Im a bit dissapointed since i found out the GTP run 15 flat and i was only able to put a car on him

 

That's ok, put a big cam in her and port the crap out of those heads and you will be kicking azz!

 

I think GTPs can do better then a 15 flat? Maybe thats just me..Dont be so hard on yourself.


The Imapala LT1 was rated at 260 hp 330 tq, i am trying to find out what RPMS both of those are but my pc keeps locking up.

 

Do you know what was done to the GTP?
I ran a GTP at the track before and he ran a 14.6 with his airbox removed. No other mods. I pulled like 8 car lengths on him, maybe more. Were you spinning at all?

 

I spun a lil bit on the start but still got him by 1/2 at the start. I went back to were we raced and its just a preaty long curve so maybe thats what made it be closer since he had the inside lane.

Asfar as i know his completely stock, and yeah the Imapals are rated at 260 but have more restrictive intake and exhaust so that is what causes the lower rating.
