As everbody knows, the radiator in a '87 GN has 3 cooling functions; engine, Transmission and oil. Now the big engineering question, would there be any advantage in removing the the oil and transmission cooling function from the radiator and re-routing it to seperate radiators for each? Right...

I'm thinking about a HydraBoost and Lee Steering box upgrade, including all the lines. Should I go ahead and get a re-built Pump also? The existing original pump has about 75,000 on it now. How long do they usually last?

I was out today doing a quick run before it starts to rain today and I stop at the light with a Honda to my left. He looks over at me and said "Nice Monte..." Oh boy here we go... Then he ask "Watcha got? A 305 in there?" My reply "No...Just a 6" He laughs and said "You should drop a 305 or 350...

Has anyone posted some real number on the suspension mods that are out there? I know the G body is not going to pull major G's on the skid pad, but I'm curious about some of the options that are out there. Maybe some of the Autocross fanantics on the board can chime in with their opinions.

Who makes the best tie rod ends?

Is it just me, but doesn't Hotchkis suspension products seem a little pricey?

Can you bench bleed The master cylinder without removing it from your car?

Last weekend I had to replace the front drivers side brake hard line. While I was doing this I decided to also replace the flex hoses and throw on some new pads. When I was done I started to bleed them and the bleed port was rounded off and when I put the vise grip on I broke off the tip. So...

I have a simple question. Is there any advantage of replacing my current stock 20 year old ECM MAS flow setup with a speed density system such as a FAST XFI system. How is the tuning and driveability? What sucks about the FAST system other than price?

Last night I took the GN out for a quick spin. I stopped at the local traffic light when a couple kids in a 2 door Acura pulled up next to me and started reving and farting at me. I had no choice but waited for the light to turn green and nailed it. Lots-o-fun... From a dead stop to a 35MPH...

Does anybody have any comments on the fiberglass aftermarket Header panels in regards to fit and finish. Are GBodys.com header panels any different from Postons, Kirbans or Speedyautoparts?

There is a half hour special on the Turbo Buicks tonight on the Speed Channel. If you missed earlier this year check it...

Someone once told me "Don't drive a GN without your toolbox". I took the GN out today to run a couple of errands and got caught by an electrical gremlin :eek: . My ride was going fine for about 20 minutes then I noticed my tach started acting a funny, the needle started jumping around and then...

Is anybody having a problem with "forums search" feature not working? :confused:

Does anybody have an opinion on whether a VNT turbo will find its way into the aftermarket? Think about it, a large turbo that spools like a small one. I know someone will say "Yeah, it's called a BB turbo..." But I think it's cool to think about the possiblities...A big flat torque curve!

Since Ramchargers is outta business, where can I get the dual fan setup?

Is there a way to test for leaks between the the turbo outlet and the throttle body? I have a FMIC and I wanted to be sure I'm not loosing any boost. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
