I'm new to the darkside for which I am going to pick up a mint condition 87 GN with 33K orginal miles on it!! My goal is to run in the high 11's or the low 12's . I will retain my stock intercooler,turbo, and internal parts. I plan on getting a Direct Scan, wastegate, hooker exhaust system, fuel pump, fuel press reg, boost gauge, and a alcohol kit from SMC. Should I be pretty close to running lets say 12.2 in the quarter.... or would other mods be a must in order to get low 12's such as bigger injectors or a intercooler etc?? Thanks guys for help u're about to give me.... I hope because I'm really exicted about getting this car, espiecally since my friend with a 01 WS6 with the basic bolt ons thinks its gods gift to the world..although i do also love this cars.:D
 
You might get into the high 12s with the alky if you run a drag radial. A 44-49 turbo & 36-50 injectors will get you to the lower 12s.
Get your car in tune before adding alky.
 
responses already!! thanks guys and i've gone to www.gnxttype.org several times and find it very helpful, but I guess I just want to see what YOU guys have to say and helpful hints some experienced buick turbo owners might have to share with me!!! This car will be a daily driver seeing a lot of miles monthly (800 miles). My main goal is to smoke just about everything on the streets...not on the drag strip... and yes that includes the almighty Z06..and HEY i never said it was gonna be easy!!
 
Do the spring cleaning.
Look for the cracked header on driver side and get fixed.
Change all turbo hoses, put good clamps on, and zip tie every vacuum line in sight!
