    275/60-15s rub - need spacers

    My passenger side rear rubs a little bit under hard acceleration. The drivers side is fine as far as I can tell. I never used spacers before and not sure what size I might need. I don't want it to run on the fender so am thinking 1/2 inch but wanted to ask. Also, where should I order them...

    Is my setup strong enough to bend an axle?

    I was out in the car yesterday with a buddy following me and he noticed the rear passenger side tire wobbling just a little. I can't feel it when I'm driving but we put the car on jack stands and ran it with the tire on, with the tire off, and with the brake drum off and there is a very slight...

    Who lives in North Eastern Illinois?

    Anyone from this area besides me on here? I see a few other GNs at local shows and was curious who is up by me.

    Dyno Numbers on a conservative tune

    I took my car to get Dyno'ed this weekend with the what is in my sig. On a fairly conservative tune at 27psi on a STOCK bottom end it put out 501hp at the wheels. As tempting as it is to try and get more I don't want to push the car. No knock, AFR at 10.5, and my injector duty cycle maxed out...

    Injector duty cycle with a 6266 and 80lb injectors

    Some of you might have been following Rick's thread about e85 which is my car. I got the car back from him this weekend and it runs great with the new aluminum GN1 heads, roller cam, and 6266 turbo. The issue we're facing now is the duty cycle for my 80lb injectors is pushing 100% at only...

    Tighter Convertor vs. Heads?? Also, what will I run?

    Below is my current setup on e85. I recently purchased a 6266 Turbo, valve springs, a power logger and wide band. I was thinking of getting a tighter convertor and/or possibly heads. Where should I be with this setup in the 1/4? What is going to be my next biggest bang for the buck? Stock...

    Spend my money!! Turbo and Intercooler

    I want a bigger turbo and better intercooler to run on my current setup. I want to keep the 80lb injectors I just bought and my goal is 10.9 on e85. As of now my plans are a 5858 billet turbo, new intercooler (not sure if I want a stock location or front mount), and valve springs.... I'm...

    e85 and 80lb Injectors - Turbo size?

    I'm currently running a TA-49 Turbo and looking to upgrade my turbo. What is the largest turbo I can go with without maxing out my injectors? I'd like real world examples please with people who have looked at their duty cycle with 80lb injectors.

    Track times - thoughts?

    I got to take my car to the track before the e85 conversion and wanted to post up my numbers to hear some thoughts. This was my first time to the track in 20 years and first with my current GN. The cars setup is exactly what is in my sign. I have Mickey Thompson drag radials that I was...

    Felt good to stretch her legs!!!!

    I got the car down on the ground, oil changed, and my first drive in last night since November of last year and man it felt good. I'm running 93 and freshened the fuel up with a few gallons of e85 and the car felt great. I had about 15 gallons of treated gas in the tank so put in 3 gallons...

    1987 GN with 41k for $12k near Chicago

    I thought this was a good deal and wanted to pass it along. I don't know the car, the owner, and have no affiliation with the deal http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/4192579134.html

    New transmission from Jimmy's - Illinois

    All I can say is I'm glad I took everyone's advice when I first joined the forum and that I put money into my transmission first. I went with Jimmy's Stage III setup, trans cooler and 2800-3200 stall and I'm loving every minute of driving the car. The cheater slicks (MT ET's) definitely help...

    CEL Flashing Very Rapidly, Car loses all power.

    This happened twice in the last two days after getting my car back from having the transmission done. I drive along normal and all of a sudden I have no power, the checking engine light flashes very fast, and if I step on the gas it backfires and doesn’t really go. It still will start and run...

    Overkill?

    I'm dropping my car off with Jimmy to do his Stage II transmission build and convertor. I'm on the fence of doing the Stage III just because he'll have everything apart. It is probably overkill for my current build but I'd like to get the car down to the low 11's eventually. Does anyone have...

    What next to get me into the 11's on pump gas?

    I recently purchased my 3rd GN with the mods below and I’m wondering what the next logical step(s) would be to take me into the 11’s on pump gas. I don’t plan to race it much but would love to run an 11 second ET on skicky street tires. I’ve considered a larger turbo, larger injectors, E85...

    Northern Chicagoland Shop

    I'm new back into the GN game and am looking for a performance shop in my area. I have a few things I'd like to do and would like to find a shop who knows what they're doing. If anyway can recommend someone North of Chicago I'd appreciate it. Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

    GNX 460

    Does anyone know who owns this car? It was an old friend's car who died 10 or so years ago. I remember his dad saying he was going to hold it for his daughter and never heard anything else. I moved 1000+ miles away back in 2005 and am just curious if anyone knows this car. The car was in...
