A buddy of mine and my old roomamte were big L67 freaks. Their cars with the same mods made around 280-290 horse at the wheels and well over 300 ftlbs of torque on local dynojets. In fact my roomates car had everything you have on a 3" pulley and different ratio rockers. They ran 13.4-13.6 all day long on BF drag radials a 50 shot just put one guy into the twelves.

The big problem with making more power is the stock blower sucks with anything smaller than a 2.8" pulley without an intercooler. The engines are pretty damn durable but they like to leak oil and coolant eventually.

A number of guys of the grand prix forums have put down well over 300whp with the same mods I have. But I have no personal data to back that up yet. The thing is with superchargers is that you basically know what you are going to make before you buy the part within reason. Since most of the bolts on are very common and have been tested thousands of times before. Unless your car is really low on compression or has something else wrong with it you usually make close to what they say you are going to make.

Alot rides on how you have your PCM setup too, with regards to timing and fuel maps. A lot companies aren't as aggresive or knowledgeable when re flashing PCMs with these cars. It makes a lot of difference in performance.

And the times are pretty accurate, there is really no point in even running them at the track since they are so damn heavy and FWD. It would take 400whp+ to get well into the 12s.

Well you guys said tint it so I did. Here are a few pictures. The tint is 3M 35% Black Chrome, this shit just came out so the GTP is one of the first cars to get it in Minnesota. It has no polyester and no dyes in so it is guaranteed never to fade. I am glad I didn't go any darker than 35% because it would have been way way to dark. This shit seems like 10%.

I was drunk one night......ehhhh its a long story. Nah I don't know why I put headlight covers on it. I normally don't like them but for some reason they don't look to bad on a totally black car.

I am still up in the air about the headlight covers, normally I am not a fan but they kinda work on a blacked out car.

I'm surprised I haven't seen you around in Woodbury with that.

EDIT: Where did you get the tint from? It looks nice and my GSX needs some dark tint to offset the white.
