only 30?? go for twin turbonetics units with 40 lbs each

Add a 150hp shot of NOS for the low end and I'm sold!!

With only 30k , it can still take another turbo and some NOS...lol
It'll need new tires though...lol

Must be winter..I'm in dream land

What brand of speakers are you replacing the factory stuff with jalat?

heh , some people like power from attachments and others like raw low-end torqe. To each there own . Far as a turbo sounding better than a nicly tuned engine that jumps you around at an idle lol...i guess, if ure into that kind of thing.

and ye if u go off and put more power in turbos than the base engine actually produces....and nos well hell any honda can do 11's..

not that im sayin anything bad about GN's tho.

but heh u hit it at ANY speed in the BB and ure off , while mr.turbo gets that lil ol' turbo lag from time to time .

theres a few turbo cars around here.. i went for a ride in one of the fastest cars in this area ( 1000+whp on race tune ) we were doing highway pulls and launching at 80 and still smoking the tires off when boost started to be made scared the out of me! oh and this car still has working heat, AC, heated leather seats. and no cage!

Try posting here in the "V8 Powered Regal" section. They may have abandoned their turbos but they know where to find G-body NOS parts.

Huh. No boost??

Kev may be onto something, the Buick T-type with the same config. may also have the same stereo/speakers, gives you at least a few more cars to salvage out of, if used is ok with you.
