I'm comtemplating buying a buick GN and if upgraded was wondering how streetable one would be with the ta49, 009 injectors, a bigger intercooler, 3" downpipe and all. What kind of power would a combo like that be putting out and at what RPM's if anyone knows. Thanks a lot! I'm looking more for a streetable car than a race car.
 
Those mods are considered the 1st step up from stock. You can hit high 11s with racegas low 12s with alky injection. If you get a good solid car, it will be as if it were stock until you hit the gas pedal. So, yes it would be a very well mannered street car.
 
see if this helps...with the combo in my signature I dyno'd 338hp and 394 lb/ft torque on 19# boost and alky with no tuning and a stock downpipe/intercooler. Car runs 13 flats with no tuning and should run alot faster, however I don't have the experience to tune it very well. This car was a daily driver for 3 years until I bought a truck.


GO FOR IT!!!!
 
That set-up will break tires loose at 30 MPH just spooling the turbo. You should approach 400 horse and be making 450 lbs of turque. It will be a very streetable getting 21-23 MPG and still go like a rocket from the light with a little break torque. And the best part it will turn heads everywhere you. You can take 4 people with you and a full cooler of beer in the trunk to beach and look really cool doing it.
 
Thank you all for the input...I'm new to Buick's so if anyone else has any input go for it...
 
Low 12's with great street manners

Like my sig has listed.
Dyno'd at about 350HP and 425 torque.
Goes like a scared cat.
