Re: 304hp gtp doing 190+mph
Thanks for looking at my page everyone. And yes...I most certainly was going 190kph in that video, down the 401 here in Oshawa. I was actually doing 196kph, or so the HUD read. I could have gone faster...as you can hear from the engine...but, things get hectic on a Trans-Canada Highway, in the middle of the day. Also, my shift points are at 6200rpm. 6300rpm? Hmm, can't remember.
Of course, if you had actually paid attention...you'd of noticed it was in Km/h....but that's okay, I'll turn a blind eye at your lack of attention to detail.
Don't forget...we use Metric Gauge clusters up here in Canada. You know..Metric...the system that makes sense? The system that the rest of the world uses? It's amazing how many of you Americans forget that point. And I'll say it again, "No, I'm sorry, I can't tell you where I bought a gauge that goes to 190MPH....because I don't have one"
The SES light was going off because of a dirty contact on my MSD coils. "Misfire #3" ...turns out they're garbage. Also, I had a stock DP on at the time, and there was an exhaust leak between the DP, and the Exhaust Manifolds. So...will that $100 be in US Dollars? I accept Paypal, Money Order, and Certified Cheques, haha.
The DP, and EMs, have been replaced with a W-Body Store P&PEMs, and a Hogan DP45 3" DP.
There was Definitely a CaseLearn after the new Delco DHP1.0 PCM, VIP Motorsports, the company that modded up the car before I bought it....did that.
And yes, sorry to say.....at the point when that video was taken, the car didn't have enough torque to do decent burnouts without the Parking Brake on. ...not that it does a whole lot of good, because the car DRAGGED itself.
But that was a long time ago. I'm sure it would do a decent one now, but I'll wait for my Rockers, Intercooler, and 3.0" pulley before I post another.
Oh, and to Mr. American Eagle, with the Saturn.... Nice car! Though, I think a smaller engine like that...2.3L is it? Would benefit more from a Turbo. Even then....it's not really any match for a now near 270whp GTP.
Thanks for the interest guys!
