I was kidding about the Dalton thing but I stand by expect the unexpected. That's the only way to stay on top is to expect even a pos car to haul ass once the owner think his position is being threatened.

Don't you mean 60-dead in .01 seconds?

WHHERHEHR IS YOUR PROOF NOWARHH


My friend's fr-s has e85, intake, and exhaust mods. Car rolls with much more torque, better sound, and available power. Just my thoughts.

yup - that'd be the expected side effect.

I don't know why but a lot of sport bike riders like playing vehicular Russian roulette.

The OP said Grand Prix not Grand Am. The Grand Prix was like 3500 lbs, the Grand Am was about 3100. I own a 2000 Grand Am, it does have plenty of torque, it's also a 3 or 4 speed automatic which automatically disqualifies any coolness. Although when I changed the air filer from stock to a K&N, engine response vastly improved and it accelerated like a new car.

^^^ Preach on brotha. :word:

Lol. I don't race anyone.

But man is this car beautiful.

I dunno I dont care if the car is 1/4 or 0-60 fast too much. The torque dip gone would be nice. Catback exhaust, intake, and an e85 tune are all I have planned.

I already have the exhaust and intake and that actually made a pretty decent improvement. Once I get the tune I figure I can get close to 200whp or 235-240 at the crank. (I might need a down pipe, not sure, but I really dont want to do the headers as it seems like a PITA to do).

I don't play around anymore. Got smoked by stangs, vettes, Caravans, RAV4.
Now I have the last laugh.

Installed this, running 5PSI, never in my life have I been thrown back in the seat so hard.

Don't know how much longer the clutch will hold, or axles. I had a buddy who races garbage trucks hop in and do a butt dyno and he said it was absolutely stunning.
Don't deny yourself and let the haters tell you that you have the wrong car. You want to run 9s all day? Maybe 8.5s? Do yourself a favor, you have earned it.

Do you have any official dyno data to back up your claim? I've read articles that these electric superchargers were just placebo tools or straight up scam.

Surely it's April 1st?
Nope, you can't be serious?

Dude tell me more. Is this for real?

I think I just peed a little!

Its a joke please no one buy it.

Dang, what would installing 2 do!!!! Bugatti territory!!!

I already stated that I misread his encounter in a previous post

Ever see those electric ebay superchargers tested? Hilarious.

LOL

Fair enough.

He was being an ass. Forget about it. People do that crap all the time. Don't blame the car though, it's more about timing. I used to drive a Ford Ranger with the 2.3L Lima on the many 2 lane roads we have out here. It was far more underpowered but I could pass most everyone if I got the timing right. And yes being sneaky helps.

HAhAHAHAHAHAAH! :lol: THE ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER STRIKES AGAIN!

put a 2j in it, problem solved

The best investment would be attending a performance driving school and learning to use what you have..
Using a properly sized turbo or variable vane type will give you plenty of boost down low too..

"You have to wait for your boost", the Superpeople say, then the magic "You have to wait for a certain RPM!", like the centrifugal supercharger is any different...

Also, to the OP; Don't lump me in with you. "I want more power! I'm a man! Suuuuue me because I'm compensating!" I love low powered cars. Know why? They're fun. Driving slow cars fast is much more fun than driving fast cars slow.

... also, seriously, learn to launch. 4,000 RPM, no traction control, drop the clutch. Don't slip it, dump it. Sticky tyres wouldn't hurt. Be aware this only works so many times before things go bang and make loud clattering noises.

And if you have an A/T? Yeah, you're not going to be able to launch that hard no matter what.

(Personally, I recommend scratching your itches where you're not going to hit some ape in a minivan going through a red, but whatever.)

You do realize that the 97-03 Grand Prix was actually pretty stout (from the factory, in its time). With a pulley swap, exhaust mods, and a mail order PCM (Less than $400) these guys will run mid 13s and make 300+ ft/lbs of torque. Intercooler and a smaller pulley you are talking 12s.

You would annihilate that GP in a corner, but again, they can be made pretty quick, for cheap.

Unless it was older than a 97, not sure what to tell you.

I need some more high-end torque!

Clearly you don't understand how turbo/sc work. Your welcome to PM me if you'd like an explanation.

Honestly why care? They drive a junky grand prix...

Funniest thing I've heard in a while.

To be fair, the rotaries make a decent, even torque curve...unlike our cars. :bonk:

I've always enjoyed it when I drove my dad's RX-8...

You probably have an auto, too? Not saying that's a bad choice, but it also hurts the 0-60 time... you stated your goals are to look cool and be economical. If you properly learn how to launch this car (with a manual) it can be decently quick- faster than most cars out there, besides uprated sports models, if you do your job right, but the street is really not the place for that kind of behavior. With stock tires, you can easily peel out and get a ticket or just wear your tires out quickly with not much to show for it. If you want to have good straightline speed, add boost, or trade your car in on something like an used mustang GT or something.

Amen.

I had an auto and the m/t is much better for street racing.

(Sarcastic, I never street race this car... Just like to driver her hard!)

While its fun keeping her up in the rev range and going fast I feel more compelled to take her on the back roads in my area and try to drift her around corners. Turning on sport mode lets me have enough fun to raise my hairs without letting me kill myself (or damage my baby) :)

You know what's more embarrassing? Beating a piece of shit Grand Am and getting pulled over by an undercover cop and being pointed at and getting laughed at as he drives away with not even a slap on his wrists.

Who gives a shit if some idiot wants to flex his car-penis at a stop light? Just let 'em go.
