My ***** is bigger. So chew on that.... actually please don't.

But seriously, I bet it would. Because mine is stock and he has several mods. But give those same mods to my car and I bet I'd have an advantage.

Sorry, I don't swing that way! LOL
As for the second statement, it would be a driver's race. And I'm a pretty good driver! AUTOCROSS SEASON STARTS NEXT MONTH!! WOOT WOOT!!

your a funny guy i really wish i could be smaller than you, but then id have to take a chain saw and lop 10 inches off

wow this is a long thread just to say that they are exactly the same. 193 HP and 220 ft/lbs, and Harves car would basically urinate on any car on here other than autobadges, and maybe booze, (for 6ers)

That's why I'm taking notes and doing close to the same thing as he did.

You know....I have the same 3.9 V6 and when I give it the gas it leaps. Now I do have two mods (CAI and X-pipe Flow40s), but I swear there was more than 160 HP there. I more inclined to go with 193. or even 180. BTW I ordered the 42% UD and balancer. So when I get a break in the work schedule I'll be in the garage putting on the LT headers and the UD......end of mods for awhile. Question: what is the same as traction bars?

Now define leaps, because not even stock GTs do that.But stock you have about 165 rwhp, add in your two mods and I'll say you're sitting at around 175-180 rwhp, maybe less, but definitly not more than that. Nice move on the headers, but don't expect any noticible hp gain out of them, sorry to ruin your hopes, but they don't add that much on a GT so on an basically stock six their gains will be minimal, like maybe 1-3 hp at best, but they do make the engine bay look nice.[8D] Oh, a candy bar.
