With only a 1lb of boost increase from going T/C'ed and unbolting the S/C they gained 76HP and 59TQ, w/ no lag either...Dynoing 323WHP w/ a slipping clutch, they are shooting for 340+WHP once they replace the clutch w/ a stronger one and finish tuning it...The car dynoed 247WHP w/ the S/C...so it is possible folks...
Just food for thought...

Is there any more turbocharged concepts coming? I really miss the old Syclone, and If it were up to me to pick just ONE car to bring back, it would be the Grand National. IMO it is one of the best cars GM has ever put into production.

All Direct Injection Has To Be Very High Pressure To Combat Cylinder Pressures... It Has To Be Able To Push The Fuel Out And Not Get Pushed Back In.... Thats Why Diesel Injection Pressures Are Way High

Like I Said Before... I Wish They Would Put A Turbo Car Out There.... But As You Know.... Reliability Is What Everyone Is Shooting For.... Hell I Had A Gnx...... I Loved It.... It Was Stolen.... But That Was Such A Bitchen Car... I Say Ditch The Small Motor Option... And Go With A Good Proven 3.8 With A Nice 12 Psi Turbo Setup....
You Will Be Able To Cruise At 80 Mph At 30 Mpg And Still Get Sideways At The Same Speed When You Punch It

reliability hell, I know several guys who own modded Syclones and Grand Nationals with over 200k miles and still running very strong on the stock motor. GM did a hell of a job with those things. The bodystyle of the 87' GNX would be a sweet retro to bring back. Look how awesome they did with the Challenger, the GNX would be killer in new styleing.
Hey 83, if yall ever need someone with an engeneering degree (though its a bs degree lol) give me a call, I'd love to help GM have the baddest, fastest, and most fuel effecient line out there. lol
