Hi,
I have got an F reg Gte with 135,000 miles on the clock, I have owned it for 2 years and have blown up 2 F13 GTE boxes and am now on my 3rd box. When the box was fitted the guy said, it is out of a cavalier but still an f13. I didn't know what to expect as he said it would make it a lot slower. I took it down the motorway and managed to get 130mph at just over 5000 revs in 5th !!!!, as you can understand I was shocked by this and tried out the 0-60 and there was not that much difference than before, anyway I went to the P.V. show and took it down the strip, I got a 16.7, can anyone tell me if that time is alright for a gte with a 4 branch manifold, straight through exhaust to the backbox and an induction kit ?
Also Does anyone know of a box that will give me a quicker 0-60 time but a top end of about 110-120 one that is stronger than the f13 GTE box?
Sorry to write an essay about it but it shocked me,
Cheers
