So who is your sponsor?
How did you get sponsored?
I looked into it alittle but it was all rice burner performance and ground effects stuff, also super high lifts and super sized super swampers.
Yeah, 3800 is bulletproof. ZZP has theirs running mid 8's in the quarter now with stock crank, stock rods, and stock pistons.

I've been in the Grand Prix community since 2001 and have always been a supporter of http://intense-racing.com/ and know Scott Cook (Owner) pretty well.

$1.96 here in TX. Your rig looks good. Since you took the time to black everything out, get the black lug nuts and center caps.

That's sweet Wolf. But what is wrong with it? Or do you simply not know?

Honestly we haven't looked into it enough at all, kind of got bummed out on it and then when the problem showed up. I just pretty well quit on it. If I had to guess, I'm almost certain it's a tuning problem.

I don't believe it's the intercooler since it's working great from what I can tell, it's getting plenty of air flow in and out of the motor, and the real kicker is. Even when I put larger pulleys on (larger pulley=less boost / smaller pulley=more boost) even as large as the stock size I still get outrageous amounts of KR. So even if the itnercooler wasn't working I shouldn't have this problem with a pulley so large it doesn't require any mods to run.


So, eh. :/
