Hi- I am fairly new to TB arena and I am needing some knowledgeable advice on how to proceed with 87 GN engine performance upgrade.
I have an 87 GN I just purchased with 89k miles ALL original with factory stock motor. The car is a 2 owner car and for the past 16 months its been sitting dormant in an empty lot. I'd like to add a few performance mods and run mid-high 11's without compromising driveability nor reliability if that's possible.
Below is a list of Mods I have gathered thus far based on reading posts on this site.
Stock 3.8 liter V6 engine (refresh list)
Have the stock iron heads inspected and ported/polished
160 degree stat
Replace original timing chain with double roller
60 lb/hr fuel injectors
TurboTweak chip (5.6 2094 60# )
Comp Cams 980 valve springs
RJC Power Plate
ARP bolts
Walbro high pressure in-tank fuel pump w/ hotwire
Accufab rising rate fuel pressure regulator
Hallman ES manual boost controller
AlkyControl progressive alcohol injection system using a Coolingmist VC-II Controller
LS1 Mass Airflow Sensor & MAF Translator
K&N air filter with 3" intake pipe
Precision TE-44 Turbocharger
Tial Blowoff/Bypass valve
3" downpipe.
Tranny
Rebuilt transmission with shift improver kit
PTC 10 inch 2800rpm lockup torque converter
Flex plate
Rear-end Suspension
Stock G80 rear differential
H&R Rear Upper/lower control arms
3" Hooker cat-back exhaust system
Am i on the right path here or ?
Thank you all for your time and comments in advance!
