Thanks anyway, I do beleive what the Ripn12s said about his car. In my case I am not aware of all the mods cause I wanted something that worked on a dalily basis and with waranty.
My job does not give me a lot of time anymore to be building stuff around.
The car broke, i asked what they could to at the dealership. They did it and the GM parts have 36 months and 50k miles and the others have their respective vendor waranties, was quite expensive based on The Burning Rom assesment but the peace of mind worth it. Even it has road assistance included

Per GM policy any aftermarket or mods done to your car void the warranty! I will not fix your car under warranty if you did a mod to it. The bumper to bumper warranty on all GM's except Olds is 3 years or 36k miles. Any repair done to your car at a GM dealer after the warranty period is up you get a 12 month 12K mile warranty on parts and labor unless you go to a GM Goodwrench dealer where we have several lifetime repairs. The mods you claim a GM tech performed and GM paid the bill is false it is impossible to get GM to pay for a mod unless you and the tech committed fraud.

the other thing is that I don't think that you could realy get a true HP reading if you have the factory exhaust... you would have too much backpressure and it would begin to cut off... I had a 3.0 pully on my car... way too much bang... went down the drag strip.. about 4,000 rpm's it started cutting out and didn't go any faster...... a 2.8 would be way worse... and if it is not you need to get in there and replace your heads, cam, and basically everything that is connected to your engine.... and I would strongly advise installing a intercooler.... or you will have a POS GP on your hands....

another piece of advice Factory GTP's only put about 200 HP to the pavement... they loose like 25% in the drive trane... that would mean that you would be pushing like 370 HP at the engine......... I would also like to say that I don't think that you know shit about GP's..... stop trying........ b4 you give advise you need to know something first....

if you want to sound smart I think that you should go over to club GP and figure out what you are going to say over here... you still won't know anything, but you will be learning and mabe teaching the right thing to the people over here.....
FYI: Its NOT backpressure - its called KNOCK. Goes to show you my example in the other thread proves me right. People think they can jsut throw on a smaller pulley cause you get more boost and boost = power. WRONG!!!!!!

FlatRater: The car is not new. It is a 98 GTP. And I can not tell for sure if is GM directly or the dealer who will pay for the repairs after mods they made. What I know is that the dealer gave that waranty.
I know that a bumper to bumper waranty on a new car is 36 months/ 36k miles and that the new parts waranty is 12 months/12k miles.
In this case the engine and tranny are Godwrench rebuilt and the waranty they carried originally was 36 months/50k miles. IF the dealer mod it and Goodwrench would not pay for it if it breakes to my humble understanding the liable would be then the dealer because they gave me that on paper(without telling who will pay if Goodwrench or them). That does not worry me because I have the contract and will keep it for the 36 months period. So if anything happens then I will take it there as agreed and with all the respect you deserve I do not really care if is Goodwrench or the dealer itself that pays the bill as long as I get my car working again.
As The burning Rom said, it was too expensive (5k overboard) but if they(dealer) will take the hit in any eventuallity then I would not care more than getting my car serviced and whomever pays the bill.
Thanks...

Re: To whom may it concern . . .

Allowencer: I do not mean to argue. Question. I heard a guy that had a Civix Turbo that more boost requires more gas. IF this is correct why is so and how it related to the knock?

actually the kr was from the backpressure.... too much air coming in and not enough going out.... "back pressure"

And I have since learned that they have had more runs and there are 2 that have broken the 11.0 mark... I apologize for my statement
