Thanks for the replies guys! The reason that I am asking this question is because I am going to purchase a 87 GN in a few months..as soon as my Z28 is paid for. I have always loved the looks and performance of the Turbo buicks. When my car was stock with bolt ons running 13.3@106, I could beat low 12 second GN's from a roll-my friend's ran a 12.2@111mph-that's was one that I raced. They would stay with me until I hit 4th gear and then I would pull hard up top. When I purchase my GN in a few months I would like to be able to beat new LS1's on the street and stay ahead of them until 120mph or so but I didn't want to go all out. I was going to upgrade the cam, springs, rockers, and turbo/intercooler-eventually but retain the stock bottom end. The Gn I am interested in has 33k on it-stock, so I think thew bottom end should be good. So what do you guys think I will need to beat those LS1's from a roll.
Thanks for the info.
Matt
