New Buick Guy

[Turbo'dBuick]

Whats up everyone. I am new to the board. i picked up Randy's 86 Gn and Robbie's 87 T-Type. I'm hoping to meet everyone and get to know you all. For a littl eback round info on me. I owned a Race shop in Chicago prior to moving to Hawaii(My wife is in the Air Force) My dad is a GM Master Tech, and engineer for over 30 years. I have been doing turbos', superchargers and Nitrous for over 8 years. I had a Store here for over 1 year in the Old Cosco's tire Center in salt lake, but closed it due to the insane price on rentals, and hipping out here. I have around 1 year left and plan on building a mid 10 sec daily driver to play with. I sold my V8 turbo mustang to build the Buick. I am willing to give anyone a hand, and would like to see some peoples set ups to get some ideas. Thanks Ron

As for the plans for the Buick. A daily driven mid to high 10 sec car with power everything and ice cold A/C. I have built 2 other GM's that were mid 9 sec daily drivers but cubic inches made it easy.. So this is my newest challenge

 

[Turbo'dBuick]

well Randy then that means you have to come over..lol I will have the wife make you some birthday brownies or something

 

[gn86randy]

Could always Go with Twin Turbo's that will make up for the Cube's
