How far can a stock turbo take you?

[Goat]

Im just wondering how far done in the ETs a stock turbo can take you and still be reliable sorta speak. I know there is some here in low 12s and high 11s. Im looking into different setups to use and experiment with when I put the second truck together.

I know my truck will weight almost 1,000 pounds less, but just wondering what the cars run to try some on my car.

With proper tuning and alky you can go deep into the 11's.

Good question I was wondering the same thing, being new to the GN community....

A long time ago, I took my girl friend out for a "spirited" ride in my new 87 GN. Soon after this drive, I was easely able to get to third base with her. I'm sure that others will post better performance. However, this was done without alcohol injection (of the girl), or having to buy her dinner.

Your results may very.

That must have been a LONG time ago. A chick looks at a TB these days and thinks you are cruising grandmas car. :biggrin:

If a girl choses to ride in my prelude over my GN she's not making the wall of fame

If she chooses the prelude its time to get rid of her butt. Just saying thats worse or as bad as supper not being ready after a long day of working...

it takes alot out of a motor trying to run top # on a stock turbo with a stock longblock .... you can go alot faster with just a turbo
