New GN owner

[Dhos1]

Been lurking here for a few years as a visitor and made the plunge 3mons ago to get a GN. I searched for about 3 years until I found the one that I want. Residing in Fort Worth,Texas-I made a trip to OKlahoma to tow it back. I was a mustang guy, and actually possessed a sub 10 sec car that I recently sold-so I know about speed...but just as I thought, the power of this Buick forwhat it is; is unreal. I have already started on a list of to do items, however am looking for a tuner in th eDFW area to take it and get a baseline. I look forward to contributing info, advice and as always learning.

Looks good. Any mods?

A few. It has a TE-44 Turbo, TH 3" downpipe, stock intercooler w/ a Dutt neck welded on it. Hot wire kit w/ 225 Walbro pump. The standard items. Like I said, I feel that it needs a tune...I'm gathering up the spring cleaning stuff now to do it in the next week or so. My goals for the car is simply a street monster w/ about 450/500 streetable horses. First I need to establish my baseline--and where the car is at tune wise. I' ve done alot of research and know where I need to go, and how to get there. But she's gotta run correctly first. Before I purchased it I did a compression check and checked pressures so I'm sure I have a healthy block to start with. I will post more pics tommorrow after work. I have done the throw part at the car and hope you get xxx horses. #1. You waste money...#2. You waste money and break something #3. You waste money having to fix what you broke. I have a few mustang stories that I could go on forever about.

Thanks man. True that...Ford parts=Mass production=cheaper=everyone in thier brother has a mustang. I gladly pay the price for a GN and see the look on the faces when she rides by. I am almost afraid to leave it alone anywhere.
