The cam combined with the torque convertor will get you out of the hole quick!

Don't listen to the
AZPS salesman selling an overpriced 15hp FAST intake when your stated goals are:

I have no plans of FI or NOS.... I just want to go faster from the stop light, 0-60 and very rarely in the 1/4. When I got 4.10's in my '00 TA, it made a very noticeable difference and that's what I'm looking for.
Help me out.
Thanks everyone.

You are screaming for the gears, you just don't know it. Smitty is a drag only racer pimping a profitable item (with easier install) which may give you 15 hp on a stock set of heads and a cam.
Gears are for exactly what you say you want. Better around town acceleration off the lights, up hills, and rarely the 1/4 mile race.
I have need for a FAST with my cam and heads...you don't.
If I was starting over again because I wrecked my car and was doing a new M6,
3.91s would be the first mod. Before LTs, before a cam, etc.
The gears make the entire car totally different, and with the weight of the GTO, it is the ultimate first mod.
Best seat of the pants and grin going for the $.
Smitty, just cause you have a sponsors hat doesn't mean you should steer people right into a 15 hp mod that ain't right for him and his STATED goals.
For once, I agree with jcain, and think you should leave us drivers alone. Not everybody is afraid to turn or wants the ultimate N2O straightliner. This from me with over 100 passes on my M6 3.91.
4th gear is good to 117 on a 3.91 at 6k rpm, and he will be leaving 3rd anyway at 93mph @6k in the 1/4 anyway with stocker 3.46. Better to spend some time in higher rpm range in 4th than just hit it for a second and trap at lower rpm. 3.91s will have him crossing his setup at an ideal rpm, but he even says RARELY 1/4 mile racing. Note, if he was to beef the valve springs and go for bigger cam and a 6700rpm shift on stock diameter tires, 4th good to 132 mph, and who trapping 130s is on 245/17s? Do the math!
BTW, M6+ 3.91=half a second in the 1/4 mile with DRs easy.
