How can i make my 1999 Grand Am GT faster?

Answer 1

This my friend is a very bold question.You have to be more specific.How much money do you what to spend?How much speed do you want?New engines?New Transmission?New Car?Come on if you are going to ask a question ask it right.Let me tell you this if you give me the best answer i will give the right response.OK thank you you are a kind friend.

Answer 2

A) If you could, I agree with the GTO guy. They're nasty, and it sucks that GM didn't do a better job marketing that car. There's a great aftermarket for it, but GM never acknoweldged it, whereas EVERYONE knows how easy it is to juice a Mustang.

I digress...B) you can start with things like an intake, and exhaust, a new computer program and a throttle body. With air-flow improving this much, you'll prbably want to consider a higher flow fuel pump, or maybe injectors. There's also a newer turbo on the market that actually mounts in the back of the car by the mufflers. It produces a good amount of power from what I've seen, but I don't know how many models they've made this for. I've definitely seen it on GM products before though, even the GTO. Look into it.

and finally, C) leave it be for now. Save your money and drive your car. Take car of her and hang on to it for awhile. Consider grabbing one of these GTOs, even if it's a few years from now. They took one in Road and Track or something like that, and ran a comparison of how each one would do with some serious upgrades. More Bang For The Buck I think the article was called, and the GTO produced the most power with the least amount of money. Something like $70k for the entire car and all of it's upgrades got it to like 800hp and a 200mph standing mile time. That's pretty steep compared to a $500 throttle body, but it's hella fast.

Answer 3

Cold air intake, Borla low restiction exhaust, a performance chip for the ECM, or just get a turbo / supercharger.
have Fun and good luck

Answer 4

Lose weight- keep the car clean and void of unnecesarry stuff. A lot of people carry in excess of a hundrdd pounds in the trunk alone.

Answer 5

That's a very broad question. It depends on whether you want top speed, accelleration, handling, etc. It also depends on how invasive or how much money you want to spend. My first choice would be a K&N Cold air intake and/or an ECU tuner.

Answer 6

Don't waste your time and money on a 99 Grand Am. Save your money and buy a fast car.

Answer 7

Trade it in and get a GTO like I did! eight year old car needs serious upgrade! 400 hp and 400 lb ft torque. and six speed or auto. Mine is spice red.

Answer 8

drive it to the top of the steepest incline and then stomp on the accelerator.

making sure it falls over and rolls a few time into a large body of water....

Answer 9

dual mufflers or a higher grade engine helps, different gas too

Answer 10

Simiply get a turbochager or bigger engine
