Would low 16s be respectable for stock? What would that compare to as another stock vehicle any ideas? Just to get a baseline not sure if this is the vehicle I want to deal with for much longer only bought it to be a winter beater and I was surprised by the combination of power, comfort and driveability not to bad for a pontiac

You might be faster because you have the 5spd, but "respectable" isn't a word I would use with a stock 5spd GA GT 4cyl. The 2.4s are "ok" motors but I would never play with one. Figure out a swap with an ECOTEC from the newer Cavi's and GA's. It's probably the most worthwhile motor you could put in your car. If you really want, check out www.l67swap.com. I don't know how easy it is to put an L67(Supercharged GTP motor) in an older GA but Brian would be able to help ya out.

l67swap with 5speed. that would be awosme. get like a series 2. with some good mods and you could be above 250wph

I don't know how the GA's are geared but supposedly some of the Fiero guys using the Getrag 282s out of the older GP's go slower with the 5spd because of the gear ratios. The L67 doesn't like the gearing or something.

OK, then do this.

The 2.4 quad (assuming that's the motor in there) is kind of an engineering fiasco on Gm's part, Some people swear by them, but From my experiences, the motors aren't the greatest.

what experiences do you have with them?
