RE: turbo gtp
If it's a newer Grand Prix they do... I've never seen a non s/c Grand Prix GTP... from the factory.

Besides, a roots blower running at its limit is about as efficient as a steam engine. Putting a turbo would see HUGE increases in hp without increases in psi.

Well the factory blower is fairly small and pretty maxed out already. You won't be making much power no matter how small of a pulley you run.

RE: turbo gtp
Most Grand Prix GT's can slap a turbo on and hit consistant 12's. Many vendors sell kits for around $2,000-3,000 and BAM instant 12's. It's insane. I've done a ton of crap to my engine, and only hit mid 13's.

The Grand Prix GT engine = 3.8 V6... which is the same engine that was put in the V6 Camaro and Firebird. I seriously doubt the Grand Prix GT with JUST a turbo setup would go from a mid-high 15 second car to a 12 second car. There had to have been something else in that.
