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)?

Probably not.

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

FWIW my sled went 12.4 @ 107 back in the day on pump gas and stock turbo.

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?

Somewhere around 12.0 @ 112?

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.

Areodynamics, gearing, weight will all play a factor
