Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - GT30R-WG is going on saturday morning

I'm basing my estimation on several things. However I HOPE my speculation is wrong, and that the limitation will not be the rail pump.

The technical papers that i've read stated it is possible I am wrong. If this is typical GM fashion the fuling should be adequate to +75% of the original output. But, in this case its possible the mechanical pump since it is NOT made by GM could be the limiting factor.

But I've said this from the beginning, this car eas designed to be modified from the factory. Don't let the ECU fool you, Gms intention wasn't to have this thing make our lives miserable, they just needed a control unit that was sophisticated enough to control their beast.

The good news about having a ECU like this is that it prevents people from doing stupid things to the motor, and blowing them up and making the vehicle seem unreliable.

Like we were with the Grand Prixs back in the day. People were machining the snout to put smaller pullies on it, with an Air filter, colder plugs and a cat back, and were wondering why we were grenading motors left and right.

Now with the right work done, by people who do things right, the stock bottom end made it into 9.0X Pretty impressive.
