Cal's Turbo LSx GN!?!
I completely forgot about this till a moment ago, but I was reading GMHTP the other day, I think, and under the LSX shootout that is coming to Memphis this October, they listed one of the participants as Cal Hartline with his LSx GN . Did I miss something, but when did he do this!

Can anyone verify this, or clear this up, or if its true, then I want pictures of that car!!!!

:Keeping fingers crossed: I hope its true!

I saw that a while ago, maybe I read it wrong, but I didnt realize that that was Cal's car. I thought that maybe that car was built by Cal, but not his car.

When he remembers to turn the wastegate on I tried calling him earlier but heard he actually has to work today.

My man's still working on your tranny parts Louie. If we don't make any progress next week, shoot me a pm on what you want to do.

Yep its Cal's car. We got pics of it at BPG. Absolute perfect work if you ask me. I hear he went to an LSX to show people he CAN do other work and tuning other than Buicks. Plus he runs a Performance shop/business to he has to go where the market takes him. Three thumps up for Cal!!
