Grand National/Regal T's are cool cars with great collector value (probably the best from any 1980's car aside from the '89 T-T/A) with performance stats respectable for their era. However, they have been a bit blown out of porpotion by many. People seem to think they're 12-second cars from the factory. In reality, they were bottom 14-second cars @ 98-100mph traps. The rarer GN-X averaged in the mid to high 13's, but only 500 cars built. It takes a bit more than a "chip" to get one of those up to par with most of today's performance vehicles.
With that said, I would love to have a '87 T-type with the "WE4" package sitting in my driveway someday.

No such car as an 87 t type troll. 86 was only year of the t type. Fyi in 87 you could get the turbo package in any model regal. There are actually black TRs that were not GNs too

What's up with the name calling man? Troll? Wow, you guys sure do try hard to deter new members. As for who I am or might be, ask a moderator to verify. The name calling over the internet isn't cool though. Your local it looks like, you can express your feelings about me in person. PM me if you please.

And I see so many owners refer to the '87s as "T-type's" that it just stuck in my head.

Truth is, I couldn't care less about seeing your Poopstang. They do nothing for me. If I want to see a Mustang I can go right across the street to the local women's hair salon. There's like 5 female employee's there that drive one. Lol

I would like for you to run me just how you drive it everyday. I think that's fair for any run. No bullshit involved that way either.
Any changes you make to run someone just creates bullshit. If want 100 octane for "safety" then your tune is to hot.....back it off and deal with losing or have enough ***** to blow your **** to prove your point. If you think race gas is cool and awesome......then ride with that **** erryday. Pay the price and man up.
That's the way it is imo.......but that's called integrity
Not really.....fuel change required.

I had plans to upgrade the heat exchanger and IAT temps would not have been an issue after that.
