Coated skirt, hyper 3.4 pistons?

I'd say! Too bad this hot motor isn't going into some light weight platform with a 5spd. Then it might break into mid 13's!! Being able to use a powertuner though is a plus. I'm not that infomred on editing custom chips, but I bet it's not as easy as the GUI in the powertuner!

It should still be able to do mid 13's in an automatic grand am. Grand am's aren't exactly heavy either ya know. Considering several grand am's have hit 13.9's with heads/cam/headers and stock internals, I don't see why one with a built high compression engine wouldn't run mid to low 13's. With high octane and the proper tuning it should be making plenty of power.

I forget who but they posted their grand am's weight. It was like 3400 or something! Thats like as much as a GP! (97-03). Those grand ams were NA? wow.
