I'm gonna try and dyno with a smaller pulley and see how that works out in the next couple of weeks. Maybe with the smaller pulley i'll see 7psi.

bszopi · 08-04-2004, 07:25 PM

Like I said, the 210whp is from an engine that has a stock rating of 140hp at the crank. So he's gaining close to 100hp with everthing he's done. That is almost a 100% increase in power. And if I remember correctly, even though he hd headers, he was still running through 2.25" crush bent exhaust. I'll see if I can't find the link where he talks about it...

Subject: Price Increase???

I'm not sure i understand your price increase on your performance products for the 3400 Grand Am. Im sure your products are top notch and all, but, for example, i don't see many people buying a S/C kit for 4900. I understand maybe lack of sales, but that is due to the price already being too high. Just having a hard time figure this all out and don't want to lose you all in the aftermarket business for the Grand Ams.

Here's their response

We appreciate your concern but in fact all we did is compensated for the change in the CDN$, the price has not changed, the exchnge rate did. We presently have quite a backlog in SC kits, lack of sales has never been a problem for us (luckily). All SC kits that are on order will be delivered at the old price. We will also honour the old price on all orders placed before September 01, 2004.

Oh well, they have still lost any chances they had of getting my money, unless the turbo prices rise.
