Thread: Few Questions

top swap- the action of removing your whole top end of a N.A 3.8 and swapping that top end from a supercharged 3.8.

if your n.a, i say 2.5" with 2.5" dp, if your s.c'd I would get a 3" dp if you do 3" exhaust. There won't be any performance gains from the catback. You will get some from the u-bend delete in the aftermarket dp's.

Yea the stock cat-back is fine...you don't need to replace it unless you like the crappy sound of a 3800...just get a 2.5" Downpipe with the U-Bend delete...cat or no cat is up to you.

dont run a 3" exhaust, youll be wasting money. anything past the cat should be 2.5" at most.

then the cat-back wont help you much. headers will. cat-back only changes sound and you could do that alot cheaper with some mufflers.

how much are you looking to spend and how fast do you want to go? just please dont tell me you want to spend $1000 and run 12s, you cant do it unless you just spray the crap out of the car.

Honestly I think headers on a bone stock N/A wouldn't be the best idea now...maybe just a PLOG or Downpipe as headers would be overkill IMO...

dont buy an engine from ZZP. a used engine is just as good. the stock bottom end has been proven to like 600+ whp already. like i said, how much money are you willing to spend? 10k? that will net you a retarded fast grand prix, but is it the best use of your money? probably not.

turbo set-up in the making???

Then get a set of diamond pistons, Intense Stage 4 heads and Stage 4 Cam, L32 rods, Whipple W140AX & 3.5" pulley, Stage 3 Intercooler, 60# Injectors, ZZP Headers, HP Tuners, ZZP Billet Throttle Body, and a Triple Edge Performance Transmission with whatever gears you want, Bulletproof Input Shafts and everything else Dave offers that is top notch. With all those mods and slicks I would not be surprised if you hit low 11's or high 10's.

are you serious?

...do not even think you can put a whipple on this car and make it run well and last for more than a few thousand miles without breaking something.

again...how much money do you want to spend? how fast do you want to go? tell us this and we can give you a realistic setup for you to run.
