This is my 1st GN I have ever owned I had a 99 Camaro z28 lost her in a car crash that was not my fault but that is not important. I am looking to mod up my gn but want to do it the right way and with the right stuff just seeing what you guys think about this would it work or is it more BS than anything and what intercoolers are you guys running on yours right now my car is mostly stock but not for long I hope eBay Motors: Buick Grand National FMIC Intercooler Kit - Super Kit (item 110339867872 end time Jan-25-09 16:38:14 PST)

Explain what your goals are before this board can advise the best options.

I was shooting for mid to low 11's is that hard to get with these cars I would like to get with it being safe and not killing my motor. Any help would be great or combos. As I had said before the car is mostly stock it has a 208/208 cam and a cold air k&n cone filter on it but everything else is stock down to the exhaust stock down pipe ect.


Thanks, Dan

Get a new downpipe, adjustable fuel psi reg, adjustable wastegate, upgraded turbo, Drag radials, converter, chip, and maybe some alky. Dont forget about the fuel pump and hotwire also.

Not hard at all, and not nearly as expensive as other platforms.

Just make sure the car runs "right" as is and then start upgrading. Build a good base to work from and you will be rewarded with an 11 second slip in no time.

That auction looks too good to be true. Most GN intercoolers I've seen start at $500 and on up.

I'm going to ask have you done your spring cleaning yet?

Next does your car have a scan tool? You'll want/need this to go faster.

In addition to what DailyDrifter said (good info BTW) you might even want to invest in a rear air bag kit.
