I've returned to being a GN owner once again (after owning a 1/2 dozen Turbo Regals over the years in various configurations as well as two Turbo TAs) after I bought my 14-1/2 year old son his first car this weekend. It's an 86 GN and if you check out his profile (3.8turbolover) he has a couple of pics posted.
You'll have to excuse me if this issue has been beaten to death but either the search I did was totally off base or else my day has been way too long. Anyway, we decided that we'd like to build a sub-10 second car but weren't quite sure what kind of engine would be required to achieve that goal.
Is a 109 or a stage block really required to go that fast or can it be done using the stock engine with a big enough turbo and other mods? Also, can it be done using the stock PCM or is something more robust like an XFI system required?
I've got a reasonably healthy budget available so any and all suggestions would would be much appreciated.
Thanks much,
Christopher
