When I bought my new 1989 TTA I was invited to do a shoot out @ Raceway Park paid for by High Performance Pontiac magazine. It was during the week and for several hours it was just me against a 1965 GTO tri-power and a bone stock TTA. Mine had several mods such as a prom chip/ 160 stat and a test pipe(cat removed). The GTO's best time was 14.84 @ 93.75 mph vs the stock TTA was 13.74 @ 101.80 mph. I ran a best of 13.22 @ 105.38. To quote the GTO owner "I was amazed at the performance gain from such inexpensive changes such as a chip, bypasss pipe and colder stat. I would have to add headers, a bigger cam and some head work to equal that performance gain". This 3 page article was in the December 1989 H.P. Pontiac magazine. I was amazed at the performance gain that my son got with his G8 GT with a tune and all he had to do was download the info onto his computer and they sent him a program back that included all his upgrades.
