The GP has loads of torque...they're quick off the line.

Which car had the intake & exhaust?

It's not, people are insecure. I thought my brothers old 95 Grand Prix had plenty of pull. It wasn't all that reliable though.

Yeah mine hasnt been that reliable, but none the less its a decent car. 95 grand prix's only had the 3.4l dohc or 3100. nothing compared to the 97-01 3800 . the 3800 is considered a reliable motor, just when you start modding they tend to have issues

Yes Im only running 6 psi which isnt much, I havnt ran more boost because i just put the kit on, a few months ago.I honestly could run a smaller pulley with my mods and maybe 8-10 psi esp as it gets colder outside (no intercooler).Ive yet to do so as id feel safer with atleast a higher ratio rockers as my redline moved from 6K to 6,300. lets not forget i was running a 14.7ish sec car which isnt a sloutch, and my car stock ran mid 15's 3,480lbs ftl
