None of those things added power.
You have 260 CHP and 280 CTQ.
4G has top end power, aka it pulls up top, and has more gears, usually resulting in better gearing, so it stays in that peak longer.
It's also 100 lbs lighter.

You have maybe 220 wheel horsepower.
As does the girly car, but it has 5 gears and better gearing compared to our cars.
But add a few more mods and your car will be quicker.
I mgiht also add, trying from a different speed or from a dig, the outcome will be different.

Race gas (i.e. octane) doesn't add power. You probably took away power with race gas. Shift kit didn't add power. Overkill PCM may have helped a little, but not much. T-stat didn't add power.
Your 2006 GT has 2.93 final drive. That Eclipse has 3.3325 final drive (3.777 if its a 6 speed) Also Grand Prix's suck in the higher RPMs. There is just no power there. You were doomed from the get go.

i thought it would help that the GF was driving.... I was hoping for a driver mod
08-17-2013
I didnt expect added hp by 110, i expected zero kr... shift kit was just a quick easy mod, and I didnt expect hp, or faster r/t on that either.. the overkill pcm made a big improvement , especially on stock pulley.. t stat and 605s were just to add with the supporting mods

I think the worst part is losing to a girl lol
08-17-2013
I fixed that for you. Losing to a girl isn't an issue. Losing to a girl car is another issue in itself.
08-18-2013
I dunno if its losing to the girlfriend DD, or the fact that its such a chick car.. Either way it stung a little bit..
I thought I would take the eclipse, but it wasnt even close@ any rpm..
Headers, cam, IC and a 3.2 would put a smile on my face, until I saw my bank account , then had to drive to Will in canada for a tune

Who changed the thread title?
08-18-2013
Wow im pretty shocked even wth the Eclipse having "better gearing". I would have thought you would win by a half car at least having a few mods.
08-18-2013
me too, especially after the overkill pcm, and shift kit.. Car felt wayyyyy quicker and shifted much faster than stock
08-18-2013
Probably the guy who made the thread while drinking, then waking up and thinking the thread title was overly dramatic

lolololol
