There might be a lot of different heads out there for them but that's half the mod money right there. I had a friend with a heads/cam/intake, etc, over $2000 in mods and it couldn't hang or even come close to my 84 GN with about the same in mods. Just a blower alone will put it past the $2000 point. Nitrous is it's only hope and of course you can run nitrous on the GN too. Still, I miss the old 5.0s, never see them anymore.

I don't see them that much either. I don't see any fast GNs on Long Island where I am either. I was on the streets with my turbocharged GT for 3 years and only ran into one GN on the way to the shootout at Atco. I was killing Z28s and Vettes left and right, but never found a race with a GN in NY. I bought one because I always wanted one & I rarely see more than a few per year.

These differences of opinion will never die and no one is wrong or right. I didn't care how much I spent because it was all worth it when I pulled on a Z06 all the way to 150 mph. If you think a V6 turbo is nasty, sit behind a V8 with a T-76 under the hood.
