I'd just like to say hello and share my hybrid!

1966 Chevy Nova with 1987 GN motor.
109 block, steel caps and girdle, studded with production crank, rods, heads, intake and exhaust manifold.
70 series 3 bolt turbo and 72lb injectors with old Accel DFI.
Ford AOD tranny with lockup in third (over 7 years and no problems!) 10 bolt rear with 3.42 gears.

I've had this motor in the car since 1997 and have been tweaking it slowly since.

I've finally got her dialed in using 275/50-15 Mickey radials and have hit 138mph with this setup.

A big thaks goes out to Ken Seggy of National Performance who guided me in the right direction from the beginning. Talk about nice guy - he had never met me and only knew me online, yet sent me parts I needed before receiving payment! - That's service from the Buick community!

Courtesy of the new www.turbobuicks.net, here are a couple of links of my car running at the track.

Beautiful car! Congrats on the 9 second pass. What kind of car was in the left lane? It looked like it was keeping up with you pretty well.

It was a Dart blocked, aluminum headed, Vortech blower Mustang coupe. He ran 10.1 @ 138. It was a real race... 400 pro tree and all. They came over to see my car after and couldn't believe that I'm using production heads, block, etc!
