This is a full weight 1987 GN with a stock motor, turbo, and IC with a dutt neck on pump gas and alky.
See the thread here: anothr magna stock turbo in the 11's - TurboBuicks.com
It was nice and cool last night at Englishtown. I've been trying to get into the 11s for a long time on a stock turbo on other cars, but never got there. I knew my GN had good parts and was running well though.
This car has been hooking real well even though there is minimal work done to the suspension. The tires are almost new MT DRs, 255/60/15s making them 27" tall. Might be make a good compromise between the 28" tires being too tall and bogging down a stock combo and the 26" tires being easier to spin.
I think one key was the restalled D5 converter, as it seemed matched to the combo perfectly. The tranny is just a basic street/strip build, nothing fancy.
The whole car is really tight as it was a South Carolina car. It has 116k miles, but was probably not beat on much and never saw much boost.
