19 Here it’s noticeable the rear tires are digging into Atco’s tarmac. Check out the front-end rise—at this point the GN is roughly 40-50 feet off the line at full boost (18 psi). Weather was 20-degrees warmer (67 degrees), still we managed better 60-foot e.t.’s with 10 to 12 psi boost launches (thanks to the brake upgrade package, previously 8-psi boost launches were max). Our first pass was the quickest (1.51 60-foot, 11.38 at 117 mph) when the chilled-boost Buick (18-psi max boost) was at its coolest temperature. We know with more boost and a higher stall converter, the little forced-air V-6 could propel the G-body into the 10s. For now Tim is quite satisfied with his street tune and thrill-to-drive Turbo Buick. Our goals surpassed Tim’s expectations of making his GN a faster and better driver than most of the latest performance cars out there. View Related Article
