    Considering a new tranny for my GN.

    Some updates: Have spoken to Lonnie, and he has no problem with building me a Stage 2. He could also have the tranny installed in his car and tested, before shipping. I've done a lot of thinking, and I think this is the way to go, despite the distance. It will save me some money compared to...

    Considering a new tranny for my GN.

    Too much work the last few days, haven't had the opportunity to check in. But I understand Lonnie is the man for the job. Will try to contact him tomorrow. But what about TBPT (www.turbobuickperformance.com) and David Husek? Are they still in business? Yes, owning a GN in Norway can be a...
