Has anyone seen this - what is your thought on how efficient this is?? http://chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/148_0502_turbo/

I hear people refer to the GN as a "Grandpa Car" now and then and I really don't understand the logic in that comment. Historically, most true musclecars were based off family cars. Many of them were taxi cabs, police cruisers, 4-door models, wagon models, etc. Obviously these derivatives...

I am looking for a hood liner that say Grand National and has the logo on it. I have seen them in pictures of some cars on the web, but don't know where to get them. Any ideas??

Champion heads and a 212 roller would add how much in a rough estimate? I'm guessing at 80-100 hp. Anyone that has before and after dyno numbers would no better than my guess.

Hey guys, I have this posted in the diecast section, but I need a quick answer. What do these sell for on average? Local shop has one for $135.00 - Too much? Thanks

I just read in Hemmings that Ford will not have a Lightning possibly until 2009. Partially for the reason that the new truck is 600 lbs heavier and they were not going to release a model that could not beat the SRT-10. They also said the Cobra will not arrive until '07 or so. That's too bad.

I am just about done with upgrades for this winter. GT61 Turbo PTE Stocl location IC 70mm TB Valave springs 3,000 stall/shift kit 22 psi/100 octane 3" DP Stock motor I have stock GN rims with BFG radial T/A 255/60/15 in the rear. Is this a bad tire size choice and will I have...

With relatively affordable performance cars capable 12 second 1/4 mile accelration or better and top speeds approaching 200 MPH. How much farther can the big three push the envelope?? Also, do you think it detracts from hot-rodding and the image of older cars like ours? I am starting to see...

I just upgraded to a TA-49. I know it can be used with the stock converter, but would you reccomend a 2800 stall? I think between a 2800 stall and my qboost it would really spool up quick.

I am planning on buying some valve covers from TA Performance. Has anyone bought from these people and if so how was the quality?

UPS delivered my new intercooler today. I know there are some people considering one so thought share a first impression. Very nice quality and attention to detail. Very thorough instructions as well. Really happy with my decision to stay with a stock location unit. Should compliment...

Just wondering how many of you have had ceramic coating applied to your DP and headers - are you happy with it and would you reccomend anything?

I'm not happy with the way my ATR exhaust sounds and am considering a dump pipe. Those of you that have them..how do you like them? Where can I get one and does someone make an electrically controlled one?

turbo shielf for aftermarket turbos There are a couple more turbos I am looking at before I make my move. The TE44 or the PT61. Can a turbo shield be placed on these to keep the appearance somewhat stock?

Well I am set to pull the trigger on my build- up. I am hoping to be able to touch the 11's. Let me know if I am missing some ingredients Short block = stock 27k miles Heads = Stock Valvetrain = stock w/100# springs Throttle Body = stock Adj Fuel pressure reg Injectors = 50lb MSD Hot...

Took the Gn to a muffler shop to install the ATr 2 1/2 system yesterday. For what it is worth there were some fit problems. Hangars were bent at the wrong angle. Driver's side tail pipe was too long. All fixable problems, but for $600.00 I expected better. As far as the sound goes..I'm a...

I got into a heathy debate over what is cheaper/faster to build. A SBC or our turbo Buick motor. My contention is that for 11-12 second street cars, the turbo cannot be beat. IMO if you want to build a SBC to run solid mid 12's, you need heads, cam, intake, carb, headers, stall, and...

I am undecided about what to do for an intercooler - maybe you guys can help me think this through. The goal is an EASY and I stress EASY low 12 second car on street tires. I want this car to look stock and do not want to run around on slicks. That said - should I go with the new PTE...

one of the really neat trends in musclecars is factory appearing set ups that run some really amazing 1/4 mile times. Of course old musclecars can increase engine size and do other internal miods to boost performance all while appearing stock. So...If a GN was to enter one of these events...

Do I need an aftermarket DP for a high 11 second car??
