Not bad at all for a 4000lb car with stock suspension!

Well, I guess that proves those STS turbo in the back setups don't work.
Now if I could only win the Powerball

Pretty neat...but how much lag is there with a turbo blowing through 15 feet of tubing?
And it ain't cheap. $4500 for the turbo kit alone, which does not include an intercooler ($995 option) or a tuning device ($400-500) or a fuel pump upgrade ($180 pump, $225 FMU) or a boost controller ($50-$150). So you're looking at ~$6400 worth of hardware, plus whatever else you might need...upgraded MAF, injectors, etc..
That's quite a bit of green.

How much would it cost to take a bone stock GN to run an 11.23 run?

I'll guarantee you can do it for a whole helluva' lot less than $7k (and he's got more into it than that with the tranny/convertor...that car has a Vigilante).
Again, nice results...but at a pretty big cost.

We all know you turbocharge any it will fly. just wish they had it in a G-Body with Four Link suspension (the best!).
