[QUOTE="David Morton, post: 2470900, member: 30617"] I love this car enough as is but as almost everyone that posts here and at MM.net says, "More is better." To those that can wait and are against nitrous, like me, I say get forced induction first. Then you can best judge what further modifications will best compliment the system you choose. I'm saving up for a turbocharger system. I can wait and the guys there said not to change the gears or torque convertor and such till I get it first. My experience at Buick with the Grand National made that preachin' to the choir and I'm going to wait until I get the system before any other mods. I got the Diablosport Mach I/Marauder tuner because I'm going to need it anyways after the turbo and IT ALONE got me down to 14.455 from a best stock time of 14.935. I'm satisfied with where I'm at now. I knew I was buying a behemoth from the get-go, so I never expected to holeshot any Mustangs. To me a big car like ours is more suitable for highway driving than for city streets, and I believe a turbo system is better suited for what I want to do with the car. A wider power band is a good thing, don't get me wrong, but my experience with Buicks' GN leads me to believe a turbo is going to give me the fastest ETs because it's going to be making more torque after 4000 rpm than the various superchargers available and that's where the cars engine is for 95% of that 1/4 mile race. I can well imagine, having driven the legendary Buick GN, what "passing gear" is gonna feel like. I'll give up the holeshots for what I think will be the best ET this car is capable of and for the driving style I want to accentuate. Our DOHC 32V engine technology is designed to accomodate higher rpm and is already .8 litres bigger than that Buick GN engine that raced at Indy a few years back. I want to accentuate the strong points and am willing to concede the 0-60' contest. If that were what I wanted, I really think I could do more for less money building a 460 big block and squeezing it down in the engine bay. Hey, that gives me an idea for my mom's '97 Grand Marquis... :burnout: [/QUOTE]
