The OEMs ? ......Oh you mean the Manufactures. lol Yes many manufactures do in a low power setting. But take a look at the aluminum blocks used in the higher horsepower applications. Oh! You have don't have access to them. Now that is a problem. The amount of expansion in aluminum in high...

I guess it all depends where you are. I've seen about six or seven go together and dyno'ed. I've only seen single turbo motors mind you and they go to around 1000 hp. Beyond that point I think you would be best served to find a cast iron stage 2 block.

I started to think of my go to statement in ALL illusive automotive problems in my experience. "The problem usually is in what you are taking for granted as being good when it is not." You rule it out, don't examine or check it's opperation and therefore don't get at solving the problem."...

You just might have the answer my friend. IMHO preload isn't where it is. I wasn't sure about this when I was placing Morels in my engine. So I went to the best there is on the west coast IMHO maybe even in the country on engines. We did my preload all different ways in mock up until we...

And the same back to you Dennis

A pic of parts that were ordered for me that I didn't order myself. The parts manager at Buick Mart gave them to me. He liked to mess with the guy he called the "School Teacher" *@ GMSPO who would call the ordering dealer and question every GNX marked part number orders.(*He told me the guy...

That would be Lou Webb's Buick Mark In Ceritos, Ca. you were a little off. [Your excused. I'm really used to the crowd that now flocks around these cars in later years.] Buick Mart is also where I bought my GN from. Mac McAlmond the fleet manager was the first person who's name was on the car...

Interesting! Hum Long story short, I ordered and got the second style (replacement) off GNX005 three special serial numbers. I also got wheels and guages. I didn't want the other parts. I don't know how another first style plate was obtained????????? I know I little to much about the...

I've read it a few times now. I don't know where your getting this from.?????? Maybe someone else can find it. The TTA, SY/TY, and turbo Dodge guys are using a factory engineered system. Why would I want to "preach" anything to them? They have logic on their side. They aren't using someone's...

I know of a motor going together in a few weeks with 885s. I'll have a listen to it when it runs on the dyno. Bob

I heard today of an original GNX with 16.0 miles for sale. I have known of this car for about ten years. Can't remember the GNX number. I said that I would tell some people about it and I will be in touch with the owner early next week. I looked at NADA and it seems high to me for these cars. I...

Yeah I was back there a few months ago. I flew by the old ASC GNX conversion building on the freeway and thought to myself. What the hell I'm this close, I'm freakin turning around. What a strange haunting place Detroit has become to me. I hope to see it come back before I die. There is a...

Seems like this question always cycles up on forums. IMHO I would say... It depends on what you are going to do with your car , how it is modified, if any from stock and do you understand that the Powermaster system needs to be serviced. Most Powermaster systems I have repaired for others...

Well after many months I finally got a functing Tach back from the "guage shop" I sent it to. Wow! Hard to get anything done these days on a timely or quality basis. I ended up doing all the leg work for this damn slow shop. After much tugging and pulling in countless phone calls. I ended up...

Lifters: TA performance will not warranty the bad lifters. He/Mike is sticking to some rediculous theory that exists only in his head. Not in the real world. He didn't have enough stones to contact me directly about the lifters. He relayed a message through someone I'll call him Mr. X, that I...
