UPDATE: Its been a couple of months since my last post but I wanted to get the lions share of improvements done before I shared. My aim was to have a quick stoplight to stoplight, dependable daily driver. I also made a few modest improvements to bring the car into this decade so here's what...

Hi Mike, I don't mean to ignore your question because I appreciate your concern but I don't have good info to offer at this moment. I should be able to offer something soon. My car is still at the shop and I'm awaiting a diagnosis. As soon as I have something substantive to say I'll be back...

Thanks. Yeah, I know it's addictive. I had a 1987 GN back in the '90s and have had at least a dozens hot cars since then but that feel when the turbo spools up has haunted me all these years so I had to get another one.

I had a slight change of plans. As I was looking through some old posts on this site I came across KDK Performance Automotive here in Orlando. The business is owned by Kevin King who is supposed to be the Buick turbo guru in these parts. I called him up and made an appointment to drop my GN...

Thanks for your input Mike and I'm taking you up on your plan. The place I'm taking it to tomorrow is called Central Florida Turbo. I doubt if they're Buick people but they do work on and build turbo cars to race so maybe I'll get something out of them. I just did my first mileage check and...

Thanks Mike. I don't know what they're able to tell me on the dyno either. Hopefully they'll be able to tell me if it's spooling up properly and if the air to gas ratio is where it should be. IDK, I've spent all my time with muscle cars behind the wheel and not under the hood so I'm not much...

Here are a couple of photos of my car. I just picked it up on Tuesday so we're still getting acquainted. I'm having her dyno tuned tomorrow and detailed on Tuesday. I love driving the car and look for any excuse to take her out. As I mentioned, I had one back in the early 90s. Loved it then...

I owned the same Superbee. If it was yellow it was a 2007 SRT8, 426 hemi with 425 hp. They only made the yellow in 2007. Strong car from a roll. Its only problem was it weighed 4100 lbs. so the lbs to hp ratio wasn't the best but it was still very fast. Same setup they have in the new SRT8...

I've been reading and soaking up a lot of information on this site and now I'm happy to be a member. Yesterday, I had the good fortune to run across a one owner, 1987 GN with 11k miles on it. I was the first one to look at it so I snapped it up. Unfortunately, for personal reasons I won't be...
