i had a modified 99 gt, and was going for the turbo they made for it when my tranny went. now i have 04 se-r. i want to get another grand prix(97-02). i was wondering, would the 3.8 turbo from the grand national drop in pretty easy? i want to make it a drag car, and i know the support of the 3.8 for the grand national is huge. or would it be cheaper and easier to install the turbo made for the grand prix? ---

it depends on what you really want…it’d be way easier to just turbo the engine that’s in it. with a cam,IC, headers and slicks you could easily be in the 11s. don’t forget about our glass trannys though…a full race build will cost around 3 grand ---

i want to get one into the 11’s or maybe the 10’s. if i added a turbo, catback, headers, cams, cai, and the intercooler, i think i could hit that mark. i seen a dyno sheet on a 02 gt with a turbo and intercooler that hit over 600hp. but i don’t want to spend over $5000.00 on upgrades, so ill have to see what i can do. ---

if you can weld you could probably be able to make a cheap custom setup and run good times. It’s gonna be a shit ton of work too not spendin over 5g’s is gonna be tough if you figure 3k for a turbo kit, 1k for IC and a grand left for a cam/tuner. stock trans won’t take too many track passes at that power but lemme know what you wanna do…be glad to help and fill you in on some stuff ---

A GN motor was put in only one GT b4,and it cost well over 50,000 to it correctly and sold for 75,000. Ur estimate of 5,000 is off baout 3,000 if u wan to hit 11,s. Check out clubgp’s turbo section and u will find aloooooooooooooot of info on it. ---
