You're right around the corner from me then!

Next summer I'm thinking a set of long tube headers and upping it to 3 inch duals with no cats and Dynomax turbo mufflers. It should be worth ABOUT an additional 20-30 horses. It'll also get a Corvette lower pulley which is basicly an underdrive pulley BUT since its a GM part they can't say anything to me about it. Then an intake and tune, that should put me in the 420-440hp range and then maybe a 3000 RPM stall converter and a set of 3:70 gears outback and I'll be DEEP, DEEP into the 12's. Maybe a 50 shot and hit high 11's, then maybe not. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a quick and easy build for some very respectable power, tho I'm not a fan of using spray, i prefer power available on tap all the time, IMO, S/C kit to start with and a full turbo build down the road, that's just IMHO tho :)

With JUST a supercharger kit running 8psi she'd make over 450hp. Include the other mods and I'd be looking at something in the 480hp range if not break 500. Unfortunetly superchargers ain't exactly cheap, like about 7 to 10k!

ha ha I actually Like the sho... I just wish they would have come out with the G8 GXP before they went under oh well being canadian sucks some times

u could just import a GTO up here =) i've seen about 2 so far in Calgary, very sexy and with mods they run some amazing times. U could get one for a very good deal if u look in the right places.
