RE: NEED SOME HELP!!!
a procharged 01 v6 would be alot faster than a stock 99 to current GT.
300rwhp and 300ftlbs of torque to the wheels. other things need done though. the rear needs beefed up with a detroit truetrac and better gears like 3.73's or even 4.10's. you will need a good tuneing session on a dyno to ensure the engine is setup correctly for the blower.
if you decide to supercharge your v6 i reccomend Justin Starkey at www.vmptuning.com
Justin offers a complete procharger kit that includes proper injectors,MAF,fuel pump,SCT tuner loaded with a custom tune for your car which will be close enough to drive it to a dyno tuning session and the ability to change alot of other ECU parameters.
i have a 99 GT vert. it's nothing to brag about at all. damn nice car but not fast at all. my procharged 98 making only about 230rwhp runs from it and it beats bolt-on 99-04 GT's
if you want a GT then buy one but be advised that it will not even come close to running like a procharged 99+ 3.8 will do even with full bolt-ons and gears it isn't even close. you would need to nitrous the GT to make it equal.
it will all come down to cost difference.
$5000 should get the blowerkit from VMP and cover the rear give or take $500
cost of the GT compared to the blower and rear upgrades??? should be about the same. 300rwhp V6 or 220rwhp V8 for the same money difference?? you decide

RE: NEED SOME HELP!!!
thanks bro that really helped out. my car is payed for and i dont want to go into my first year of college witha car payment and insurance over $300...im seriously thinking procharger, bbk intake, and longtube headers for it. and maybe the 3.73 gears...does the procharger make that whining noise on a v6?
