Default 11.72 first pass of the year V6

Ok, Ok it's not my LSx but I'm a die hard LSx guy. This is my Buick GN,

motor mods
upgraded valve springs.

Transmission
Stage II with PTC NLU converter

Turbo
Precision CEA62/62
Stretched intercooler

Tuning
Me with FAST XFI
Alky injection

I'm Matt, right lane. I think with a little more tuning I can squeeze a low 11 out of it.

Nice times i had a few turbo ts. Hate to show you this pic but playing around on a wet road at high boost. Playing with my boost controller the night before and eased into it and i guess i turned my boost up more than expected boost shot up and threw me off the road.

LOL. I have totalled not 1 but 2 Turbo regals. 1 87 T-Type purchased new and on 87 GN purchased new. I am not allowed to have any more of those.

It made upper 300's on the dyno, like 380 I don't remember exactly.

Man, I hate to see and hear about the crashed TR's. I avoid the wet for sure. I learned my lesson with drag radials in the rain. This one has 29k miles on the clock.

By the way, your Buick is bad ***.

I changed the valve springs and have done all the bolt ons. Turbo, downpipe, intercooler, PTC converter, stage II trans and meth injection. Other than valve springs the engine is bone stock. On this run I opened up the cutout.

Good run. Valve springs made a big difference when i had mine. Alot better top end pull. Cutout helps alot too on that boost.

It is the rear suspension on g-bodies that really need the love. They need some anti-squat in the back bad.
