Hello All,

I have been contemplating getting a turbo buick for some time now and have a few general questions about them.

1. Would there be any benefit to running a thin electric fan mounted to the intercooler as opposed to nothing at all (either stock intercooler or modified)?

2. What is the quickest (ET/mph) turbo buick you have seen on pump gas no alki injection?

3. In addition to #2, I.E. What would a turbo buick with say a t60 or so turbo, upgraded stock location intercooler, matched torque converter and all the usual mods run on pump gas?

4. What makes the turbo buick different from say a single Supra in top end 1/4 mile mph? I know the supra has a totally different engine. It seems as though the Turbo buicks are more like low revers which make their power lower in the rpm range and fall off as the rpms increase. Thus decreasing the mph as opposed to say a single turbo supra.

Thanks for looking and any info you can provide. Hopefully, within the next year I'll be getting a turbo buick as a street cruiser.

Matt
