Always been a fan, and professional auto tech, of 80's, 90's and now 21st century GM performance.
Acquired a Grand National, put a chip in it and want to go further!
Great site here guys!

Hello and welcome! Those turbo Buicks have always had some interesting hardware and software to work with over the run of the mill GM stuff. Should be able to find a working solution to monitor and tune the engine fairly easily.

First thing needed in any boosted car,gauges,boost,fp,fpr,oil,and specifically for turbo buicks,scanmaster,power logger,very essential,I v had a lot of gn,s and they cost good coin to play with,my current 4.1 is at 12k in just the engine,but it will run 10s with ac and pump gas with alky injection,allday long.I'm not a buick expert,but I have good knowledge with the turbo buicks,
