DYNOLAB: GA. (Jan. 3, 2004)
This was after installing the new headers�still working out bugs on the engine, like fuel and timing�still no custom chip!

Now we opened the newly installed cutout to see what would happen�.

Max Power = 134.1 @ rear wheels (+20%) = 160.92hp @ the fly wheel
Max Torque = 207.4 @ rear wheels (+20%) = 248.88ft-lbs @ the fly wheel

Wow on the hp#s� cutout gave: 8.2hp
Got some of the torque back� cutout gave: 4.3ft-lbs
You can sooo feel the difference on the road too!
Can you say way too restrictive exhaust!

GAFBA SPRING SHOOTOUT: Reynolds, GA. (March 13, 2004)
Well I now have the 3.4 installed, the cutout open, the headers, 3.73 disc brake rear, 27-2800 stall converter�

Car was spinning tires horribly; car was not making the 2-3 shift at WOT and was hitting the rev. limiter.

Weight: 3755 w/ me in the car

Just thought of something to get a better idea what the car was running that day...I think the tranny problem was after the 1/8 mile mark, so I can use the NHRA sactioned conversion to take an 1/8 mile time and calculate a 1/4 mile...

If I take the best 1/8 mile time from the timeslips that day...
multiply my best 1/8 mile time(10.64) by 1.538...
that will give me the approx 1/4 mile time.

16.36 in the 1/4 mile!

this is the best most informative site on cardomain.com ive ever been on! i love pontiacs and i own a 94 Grand Prix you should come check out sometime. I definately think that u should make ur own site for this generation of Firebirds! Great job on the car, and the hood looks good, ive seen a couple Grand Prix's in the 92-96 gen. that molded the RAM II scoops to the hood and made it look nice, i think someday im going to do the same! PS i had to add u to my friends so i can come back to the site all week at work just to read it all!
