Yep. You at least need alot of scantool data to get what you want, but it'* only 40 bucks plus shipping. www.gmtuners.com
It also might take a couple trys to get it perfect, but Ryan at gmtuners is determined to give you what you want. Thats how he was/is with me anyways.

Yes but you would not realise the full potential without higher shift points. I would say maybe 15-20hp with stock shifts.

well that is still pretty decent. I mean i would love to break into the 14'* but that isnt going to happen lol. So if i could get down to lets say maybe 15.1-15.3 i would have to go from there. What would it take to get down there do you think. CAI, Muffler, Highflow cat, Pem'*, 1.9'* would that put me realistically close or no.

If money is no object I would say go Turbo. If your doing it on a medium budget, a cam and headers would help out immensely. Tight budget, rockers, pems, and some sort of PCM tuning. The fastest N/A 3800'* run low 13s and high 12s with heads, cams, headers, tuning, etc...

I would love to go turbo but i know no way the tranny would hold up. So i dont know if that is going to happen. So what i am thinking is go the tight budget way with pems and 1.9'* ect. and then maybe turbo it in the future. But with a turbo would else would i need headers or would pems be enough. Give me some info. Also the CSC for the gp'* they dont have anything like that for our cars do they?

Most turbo setups use PEMS. Turbo headers are still a custom creation and pretty expensive. I don't have enough info with CSC'* to give you info on those.

but i could do the tight budget way and later add a turbo down the road. What kind of upgrades do i have to do to my tranny if i were to add a turbo. Also with the 1.9'*,pem'*,ect and a turbo that would be a low 14 sec car right?
