sweet car mine is a red Gt only thing I dont like is that it is a auto

swapping it to a manual is easy. finding the donor car will be the hardest thing.

[MATT2007]

I am saving up money to do mods will a 5 speed from a 2.2 bolt up to a 3.1 or are they Different. also will a cavalier work as a donner car.

[FastGT31]

i believe the transmission will bolt up from a 2.2 but i wouldnt use it. its an isuzu version and not as strong as the getrag 282. a 90-94 cav will work as a donor car as well.

Thanks that helps a lot now I know what to look for

you'll have to check that HP rating again. pretty sure in 91 the 3.1 didn't have 140 HP.

[FastGT31]

it did

Sure did. But between my '90 5spd GP and my '91 a4 GP, I've learned that the 140hp rating is very decieving. *cough* eats 3800's and BMW's *cough*

ok it has 140 hp but what can I do to get around 165 hp

[85_305]

Man dont even worry about the numbers. They are quick stock. But here's what it takes for a 152k mile Grand Prix (remember, beretta are lighter..) to beat a BMW 323i and a 2001 Grand Prix 3800 (220hp).
-FULL flowmaster exhaust (not necessarily headers.. stock are good), hi-flow cat (i dont have one, but it would be a great mod!)
-SeaFoam your car.
-New plugs/wires.
-Custom cold-air intake. Keep the temp sensors and PCV.

and If ya wanna go crazy,
-a chip from this site (in the 60*v6 store)
-rocker arms from the 60*v6 store
-shift kit
-do a top-end 3100 swap (worth a LOT of power)
-do some custom head work
-cam it
-Boost it (prefferably a turbo. This route could cost some change though)

Do you really need more??

[torq455]

ummm, sea foam? yeah... you want 165 or more....do what i did. can't verify my numbers, but i'm sure i'm close to 170hp and 210tq.
