Hello all

Guess i never really introduced myself here yet, that's my fault and here is my official hello. I drive a 2002 grand prix gtp, I started about january of this year and just took off from there. I did a lot of research and reading and decided to try some not so popular idea's on my car. I run E85 and would be more than happy to pass down my knowledge to anyone that would like to do it, i use hptuners and am very familiar with the program and what to do. I can't answer every question but I can do my best!

I started with taking my car into the high 12's, I judged what my car would run off of what everyone with comparable mods would run. So i did simple bolt on's like headers, fwi, rockers, and 3.2 pulley with a decent tune and took it to the track expecting mid 13's at best. I ended up running a 13.2@103 on my first pass with street tires and was just hooked on taking my current setup as far as possible.

So far without nitrous i have run a pb of 12.8@103 with some shifting issues i didn't have time to work out :confused: (hope to run .2-.3 faster with the problem fixed) and with nitrous not making a full pass i have run a pb [email protected]. I didn't spray right away and i let off way early since i was losing fuel pressure :eek: so i ended up with a crappy e.t. and mph.

I have since ordered and waiting to install a new fuel pump and planning on going mid 11's before the year's end with my current setup. I think running a full pass on my 100 shot will get me close and bumping it up to a 125 will get there. I am still running a stock cat back (was on for the 12.2 run) which will be removed the day i attempt this run, but I promise by years end an 11.8 or faster pass with at least 2 video's to prove it and of course on my current setup of simple bolt on's.

Sorry for the biography lol, but hey gotta let everyone know what the history is right? :th_shakinghead1: :th_peaceout:
 


Welcome to the community.

It sounds like you are a bit of an experimenter, gathering ideas, ways to carry it all out then trying it out, which I personally find pretty awesome. You'll fit in nicely around here and look forward to your info on running E85 as I have seen it asked about around here a couple times.

Keep us updated on your progress, I love reading about stuff like this.
 


Welcome to the insanity. Personally I'd drop the catback @ the track if you don't do so already. Like you said some bigger injectors and maybe a better tranny or a shift kit at the very least to help with all the power :D
 
Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I actually have 60# injectors right now which are capable for handling the fuel needed for the power i'm making. I agree about the cat back, i actually had a race pipe made for my car through a local 3800 performance shop here in illinois. Sinister Drag Designs - Chicagolands new performance specialist! if anyone is interested. They are a new shop but the guys running it have been doing this for many years now and they know their way around a grand prix. I also have a trannyman trans and to this day is the best thing I've purchased for my car hands down. Dave knows what he's doing and i will never regret buying any of his amazing products. I killed my stock trans pretty quickly with my power level so i needed an upgrade. I can't wait to get back to the track and cut some head turning times with my mods. My goals are 12.5@107+ without the nitrous and 11.5@116+ with it. Only time will tell but there are only a few track days left this season so expect some new pb posts very soon.
