Dropping to a 3.3 Pulley! Grand Prix GTP

[@Ryandavis23]

Love the fact your watching the laptop more than the track! Hahaha

LOL!!!

@@nakedlunch72 Better him paying attention to the laptop to keep from blowing the car up then sending it without knowing. The track is a tuning tool just as much as a dyno is.

[@fate2022]

@@madmod blowing a car up is probably much more preferable than going off in the other lane into an opposing driver and or into the wall potentially harming someone else, or god forbid the other driver having a problem and coming at him in his lane. You can't see any of that looking down at a laptop. There is a reason we have no cellphone use laws while driving now,and this is a perfect example of what not to do. Gather your data at the end of your run.

[@madmod]

@@fate2022Laws when operating on the street mean nothing when closed corse racing and piloting a 4000lb pillow down a straight line is not even close to a handful. He saw an abnormally high amount of kr and let off because of it. Im not condoning driving distracted but he wasnt more than a foot out of the groove the whole race. Bitching about someone monitoring their car while racing then saying they have no place racing while you smack your keyboard is beyond dense.

[@wrotenwasp]

Damn dude, with those headers, that thing sounds like a V8. I put a 3.6" pulley on my 05 Impala SS and I was surprised how well it responded with that and just a couple exhaust mods and a canned tune, FWI, 180 stat and copper plugs 1 heat range colder. Can't imagine how well a 3.3 " pulley works.

[@440Racing]

Not well. The car starts seeing KR.

[@b16ej84]

What what do you mean by kr

Is it me or is your takeoff really slow..99 gtp should've hit 70 5 sec

[@madmod]

@@chrislyle2675 I have seen it go the other way when I race gtps in my 2v. I get out off the line and can usually hold it but there is a big weight advantage for the stang and power for the gtp so they make for a good race reeling in v8's on the back half.

@@440Racing what was the weight difference if you remember?

[@440Racing]

Somewhere in the 30-50lbs range

[@boosted0079]

Don't know where your spark advance is set at, but with 3⁰ of kr you could probably try and pull a couple degrees of timing out and retest?

[@440Racing]

At the time it was a stock tune. I need to make more videos of the car but rn I see 19° timing and .6° of KR with a 3.3 and 1.9 rocker arms

[@boosted0079]

[@damiandavila8181]

I have a 2000 Pontiac gtp do you have any recommendations on what mods to do first?

[@440Racing]

If you wish to keep the M90, Headers, Catback, a good Intake setup, Pulley, Plugs, Thermostat, and a Tune is my recommendation. If you plan on making it a turbo car, skip the headers, intake, and pulley. Use the money more towards a boost gauge and wideband gauge setup (which is also very nice for the M90 setup)

[@damiandavila8181]

@@440Racing where can i get all of that

[@440Racing]

Get a pulley from SmoothFlow Pulleys. ZZPerformance and Intense Racing will have other items but that's about it. No company's really support these cars anymore.

[@sseiman47]

Do a lot of research join a 3800 forum. Go to zzperformance.com they will help you out with list of supporting mods needed for what you want to build and your budget. They have one of the fastest fwd grand prixs around and know there stuff. Nobody puts a 3.3 pulley on a stock 3800 it needs supporting mods for that small of a pulley

[@tannert.3306]

I'm hitting the strip with similar mods on my bonneville this summer, I wish my local track let us run no safety gear like that sure would make things cheaper

[@440Racing]

For our track unless your car is 13.99 or faster, you just need a seat belt. Cause pretty much 14 seconds and slower wont trap at 100mph too

[@440Racing]

Good luck though with your Bonneville this season!!

[@tannert.3306]

@@440Racing thanks! And yeah if you get rid of that or issue you are going to be right down on the line of 14, my set up is running a 3.35 pulley from an m62, I threw in 42.5 lb injectors to try to kill kr (for some reason a lot of people don't go from stock injectors normally) it seems like that does the trick but I'm going to try the hptuners program you are using to monitor or, all I have at the moment is a canned tune from intense

[@IROCZ28PHOENIX]

Sub 289 hooray ! What was boost pressure with 3.3 pulley ? . Hilarious 231 SC engine. Did you drop subframe yourself or did shop do it? Head up display in this car? What is your total $$$ in this car? HP tuner program is user friendly? What did this car dyno at ? Have 2000 GTP 4dr pretty much stock here. KN air filter and UMI rear control arms. Ultimate stealth speeding. XD

[@440Racing]

I have done all the work myself! With the 3.3 Pulley I saw 14PSI+ but saw a lot of KR making it slower with the timing being pulled. This car does have heads up display. HPTuners is not horrible but definitely do your research before adjusting stuff with it. I still am a beginner.

[@santiago-gt9bz]

Why aren't you pushing the transmission shift button??

[@440Racing]

2002 year models did not have performance shit. That was in earlier models. The car does have a built trans and is tuned with "performance shift" always on though

[@benreimer1522]

Does the stock gtp transmission hold the power of a cold air catback magnaflow exhaust and a 3.4 pulley?

[@440Racing]

It should but mine isnt stock. I had it done up to avoid issues 😂 The big thing is the input shaft and usually with BoltOns you're ok, it's when you add a tire or do big power mods.

[@440Racing]

Everything is done up except the input shaft. Didn't have enough at the time for it, so I bought a stock replacement instead so at least it had 0 miles. If it breaks I'll get the hardend one.

@@440Racing Very nice. All i did was get rid of my resonator so far and put a small straight in, sounds incredible for what it is lol.

Exhaust on these cars isn't a limiting factor until over 300whp. My exhaust mods were all about making the exhaust quieter. I love the sound of the supercharger and that's all I want to hear 😅

[@fatman1288]

i say wait untill black friday this year and get zzp's stage 2 intercooler and get 1.9 rockers throw 136# valve springs on it e85 it and run like a 75 shot of no2 or all of the above but xp cam with 1.65 rockers and stage 2 heads e85 of course :D

I'm not saying that wouldn't be fun. But my overall plan is turbo build. Itll probably be this trans in another car with a different engine. Rn funds are for other things sadly :(
