Very different, I knew it was not a turbo from the class you are running.
I think you may have shocked a couple people though!!
I never got the video, you need to let me know what address you are going to send it from so I can white list you!

Ken,

I am sorry I missed your call.
We have been doing a lot of stuff with preparing for the baby.
I would like to catch up with you at some point.

Best regards,

V8 conversions

The pictures look real good even though it's not a turbo. The car should really move. I'll still stick with my Turbo 6 powered GN. Good Luck and let us know what she runs.

The quest for more power and speed will always happen. Times change and we move on. I once had a Big Block Chevy between the fenders of my Malibu. It looked good and had good power but I wanted something that was more drivable everyday and I found it with the Turbo V6. It dissapointing to the "die hard" Chevy guys to see a Buick V6 in my car. So you guys going to the V8's I wish you luck and get used to being ridiculed because you are now officially a HYBRID just like me!

Oh, and I'll be watching this sub forum because a V8 turbo is not out the question for me either.

INTHEEIGHTS: BAD ASS COMBO! Im not sure if you are on the NMCA board too, but I keep poking around about allowing turbo combos into the class as well. Sure it wont happen, but if it does, I'll be there...

And as far as the whole "if it aint a 6, it aint a GN" bs...
I will agree that it pisses me off everytime I see an add for a GN that has a carbed sbc 350 motor in it, or 383 or some crap where you know damn well it doesnt even make close to the same power as it did stock.. However, when that sbc has big boost attached to it.. I have learned to appreciate it

Thanks chris, i just could not make enough power with twin turbo stage 2 and then i take chance of hurting a really valuable piece and or have a basket case of parts.
