Corona. That's weird, I would think that to get the maximum hp/torque on a tune, you'd have to hook it up to a dyno while tuning. Then experiment with different timing, boost, A/F, etc, no? Seems like that's how they do it with other cars at least. Where do you recommend I go?

Been out of the Buick scene for awhile. Just wondering, what are the best GN tuner shops in Socal these days? Preferably one that has a dyno for tuning.

Alright, so if I just port the stock heads, how big of a cam should I go with to not have to worry about CA emissions?

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess my main question was given that I have a higher stall convertor, should I get a turbo bigger than a TE44 even if I'm going to run 15-17 psi 99% of the time? It it correct to assume that a bigger turbo will give you more HP at any given psi compared to a...

Is a BB good for a street car? I've heard they get too hot and don't last long.

Let me know how the BB spools up. Do you think my 3200-3400 rpm stall is enough to spool a BB 66? Would a BB66 spool up quicker than a GT6152E?

Wow, what chip are you using? I didn't know our cars could run such high boost on pump gas. I know the Evo and Cobra guys can, but thought it was from newer technology heads. I'm leaning towards a setup similar to yours.

Marc87GN, 20-21 psi on straight pump gas no alchy? Or do you mean 100 octane?

Just wonder how big of a cam I can go with and not have to worry about CA smog. And are there any aftermarket heads that will pass or should I stick with ported stockers? Will roller rockers pass smog?

How big of a cam do you think I can go and still pass CA smog? And will any of the aftermarket heads pass emissions, or should I just play it safe and port the stock heads? What about roller rockers and smog? Thanks for your help.

Man, if it's even worse here in California, only 91 octane at the pump!

Shouldn't I go with something bigger because of my higher stall converter? Or do bigger turbos just make more HP over 20 psi (and less than smaller turbos at 15-17 psi)? I'm willing to pay the extra money for a ball bearing turbo to run bigger and still have a quick spool up. But if it won't...

I was just wondering which turbo would produce the most HP on pump gas/no alchy. I know a bigger turbo will make more HP at higher boost, but will the biggest one also make the most HP at 15-17 psi? I'm trying to setup a combo for my daily driver 87 GN. Have a 3200-3400 stall 9x11 and will be...
