Aww shucks guys....
I just try to help when I can.


To answer your question Inhaler, at certain power levels, the GN-1 heads will suffice, but if it were me, and I was going to max that turbo out, I would be running a set of TA Performance race heads. That's just my oppinion tho. I ran converted 8-bolt to 14 bolt GN-1s on my 274 Stage II, into the 10.00 - 9.90 range with no issues. The cfm rating is going to vary, from engine builder to engine builder, so I'd recommend you talk to a reputable engine builder who knows about Buick V6 turbo combos. Give Dan at DLS Engine Development a call for the TA Performance heads. He's been perfecting these combos for the last 15 years. Here is the link to his site. Home

Hope this helps.
