Best Answer

the easiest and cheapest way is to drop the size of the supercharger pulley. but remember you have to do "supporting mods" so that you dont hurt your engine due to increased boost. Examples are exhaust mods, CAI, tune, colder plugs, lower thermostat, etc. The stock size is 3.8. you could go to a 3.6 without any mods. will give you aprox. 2 more lbs. of boost and 10-20 hp. any size smaller than that you will have to have supporting mods.

Which car is faster the Dodge Stratus RT or the Pontiac GTP?

Take it from someone who owns both: 1999 GTP and 2001 RTThe R/T has no where near the amount of acceleration the GTP has. This is not even debatable.I love both, but speed wise? The GTP by a land slide.AnswerGTP for sure. Fastest R/T in DragTimes database is 15.6 sec. 1/4 mile, and the slowest GTP is 15.4 sec.Answeri just recently purchased a 03 RT (5spd), and i traded in a 97 supercharged 3.8l Buick (same exact set up as the gtp) and i think the rt is faster and alot funner. AnswerThe gtp is faster due to the fact that it has a power adder (supercharger) and the stratus does not. Answerthe GTP is alot faster it has a supercharger on it and is getting 240 horsepower stock. Answerchryslers break faster then any other car on the road, so i wouldn't suggest racing or anything that might strain the engine, even daily driving. from my experience with there products just about everything is of low quality...transmissions, engines, paint, and the entire fit and finish. i have seen a dodge ram go through 3 transmissions, 2 driveshafts, all sorts of interior finish problems all in 30,000 miles...the list goes on. -EDIT- Generally, the Stratus R/T may be using the 3.0 liter engine. This engine and transmission combo is made by Mitsubishi and is the same on the Mitsubishi Eclipse of the same year. It is NOT a Mopar engine and doesn't tend to break like one.--EDIT: Only the 2.7 has major mechanical issues (Sludge). The 3.5L, 5.7 and 6.1 are fine.AnswerThe new gtp has 260 hp and will easily beat the rt Answergtp for sure

What is the top speed of a 99 Pontiac grand prix gtp without speed limiter?

125 or so EDIT: My stock GTP would top out at 125, I have since then chipped it and removed the limiter and it topped at 138. Now I have mine slightly modded and got clocked by highway patrol at 149 and I still had some to go.


Which is better a 92 camaro z28 or 01 Pontiac GTP?

they are two none camparable cars. the Pontiac is a v6 4 door.it is supercharged but still a family car, but don't get me wrong it will definatley move. the z28 on the other hand is a v8 sportscar that might as well only have 2 seats. you can only really fit small children in the back seat. its not quite as reliable as the gtp but will have less to go wrong because it is not as much of a luxory car wich means less equipment to fix. gtp is a better car in the winter because of the front wheel drive.
