From SC TL-S to SC GTO
Since stopping on the TL-S I have been modding a 05 GTO 6m.
I picked up the car last Sept with 6,500 miles for 25K it is black with red interior. Since then here is a list of upgrades/mods:
- Magnuson SC with intercooler and magnavolt (similar to our E-manage) good for 13 lbs of boost (currently at 7 lbs.)
- Methanol injection
- CCW 19s(same as on the original orange Pontiac GTO prototype car)
BFG KDWs 245/35-19 R 275/30-19
- Hotchkis F/R sways
- New TEXT clutch, GMM RIP shifter, EP drive shaft + safety loop, cradle bushings and drag bags
- Mazziere electric pump
- Stainless Works headers w. Random HF cats and Corsa cat backs
- A.M. fuel pressure and boost (from the TL-S...yes the spirit lives on!!)
- HIDs
It has dynoed at 456whp 440 wtq. and my best ET is 11.99 @ 117.44 1.99 60'
Since the prior dyno and ET I've added the methonal and Mazziere pump. It should be at 490-500 whp and 480-485 tq 11.80 - 11.90s
With the methanol it is beastly...!!!
(no new times or dyno yet)
Here are the parts that are waiting on install:
Catch can (helps keep things clean and detonation free)
New custom FTI cam ( good for 40-45 HP)
Light weight pullies w. over drive crank @ 2-3 more lbs. of boost total HP= 50-65
Port and Polished TB (good for 12-15 HP)
And when it is all done a new custom tune w. Methanol tuned( 35-45 more HP) . The results should net me 610-630HP/585-610TQ to the wheels. ET's hopefully in the low 11s and high 10s.

That's an amazing 1/4 time and trap speed. No way in hell I'll ever see that w/o breaking something in the drivetrain...

Drives With Hands
I was just at the Pontiac dealer a few nights ago to test drive a 2006 goat. I'm seriously considering trading in my TSX for one, being that it is too gutless for my tastes.
Any words of wisdom for me? I figure this is a good place to ask since you've done basically what I'm thinking of doing. The GTO would be my main vehicle but I will have a beater for the winter.
Great car in any case.

luvs redheads!
I finally saw a GTO with the holden conversion ...so jealous.
Anyways i am curious, you said you use the e-manage?? Have any problems hooking it up and tuning it? Also who did the tuning? what is your air/fuel ratio normally average out to be? I go to a "certain" school that has no idea wtf they are doing with a 04 GTO......So i need some proof.
thanks much!

Sounds sick, Phil2 recently finished his stroker motor w/ SC and it sounds like quite the beast.

I have a 06 M6 Spice Red

In the end I may be the fastest 05 6m.

Nice! Glad you having fun with it
.
And myself going to proceed with methanol kit as well specifically with Snow Performance but haven't decided between stage I or II.
Good luck with everything

I looked for used 05's but there weren't any in this area that I liked. Oh well!
Going from a 200hp/140tq I4 to a 400hp/400tq V8 will be incredible. Driving the right wheels this time too.
