what kind of engine do you have and the year, most likely you have the 3.4. You might want think about 3.5 UD pully or doing an engine swap to the L67 and mod from there. I have a 3100 engine with just a WAI and I run low 17's with about 80lbs of system in the trunk. GT's usually run 14-15 stock.

Turbo kit.
Check out statama, Car Tuning, and MAD.

You will get the best bang for the buck with a turbo kit. If you want to stick with the S/C you are going to want to upgrade to a Whipple and intercooler. Start saving for a fully built trans now, they run $3,300.

lol

please dont think this is how all grand prix owners are, most of us are alright.

+1 on the turbo kit though. or you could sell it and get a GTP, you'll have some left over if you use the amount of cash itd take to turbo a GT.

How much are you spraying to get that GT into 13's with "just an intake and exhaust" ?

It's interesting how intake and exhaust mods get a 210hp car into the 13's...
