1987 GN finally getting Cotton-ized
Easter Sunday 2010
Jack and Lorrie came down to my house to pick up my 87 buick so he can work his magic. Definitely a transmission rebuild plus other tricks to make it an even more potent street dominator. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010036.jpg Some shots after pulling GN out of garage for the first time this season http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010016.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010015.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010014.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010009.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010017.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010002.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010008.jpg Can't wait to FEEL the difference a professional touch makes !!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Iy17uECFzg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGSkh6iM9fg SMOKEM |

Here's some engine shot's , for what they're worth. Nothing too crazy. Have 43 # inj, Walbro 340 , hotwired, chip, LT1 3.5 MAF w/Translator Plus, 10 inch K&N, 3 inch dp, RJ Raceplate, Flowmaster Super 44's , high output coil , Moog progressives, KYB gas, 245/60/15 on 15x8 ARE and 295/50/15 on 15x10 ARE 's. 5% tint all around, A-pillar VDO knock and oil, console VDO water temp and boost guage.
Hopefully, Jack will kick it up a few noticable notches but for the most part I just want a badass boulevard bomber thats reliable. Definitely will keep the forum updated as to the "butt dyno " results! SMOKEM http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010006.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...ter2010007.jpg |

So what work was done?

Hey Brian!
Picked the GN up this morning from Jack! As I expected, Jack went above and beyond my expectations! My main concern was having my 200R4 rebuilt to GN specs. He did a billet . Also installed a new performance chip, an Art Carr tranny cooler, manual boost controller, recharged the AC , oil change, and tune up. We took the GN out for a high speed run and I was very impressed. Jack was not. We went back to the shop and he pulled the new plugs and concluded the engine was running lean at high end. He installed a new fuel filter and after a second highway stomp even he was pleased. My Grand National is not a drag car but now it is a VERY SPIRITED, even MORE fun car to drive. It pulls hard and sounds GREAT and looks pretty good too for a 23 year old vehicle! SMOKEM |
