How many Z's is too many ??
Done to the car? Why whatever do you mean...it's stock!Mod list includes:
Rebuilt .030 over shortblock JE pistons...ARP fasteners.
John Craig TE-61 turbo
Lucas 009 injectors
Walbro 340 pump hotwired
Ported irons 1.77 and 1.5 valves
Poston downpipe
stainless ds header and crossover
Hooker 2.5" dual exhaust
Ruggles 205/210 cam (very mild cam specs)
Be-Cool Radiator with AZ GN dual fan setup
Jay Carter street chip in it currently.
Trans has been rebuilt using PTS parts
PT9*11 2800 stall converter
Overall it is in really nice shape inside and out. I just need to figure the car out...good thing is....in Georgia....winter is almost non-existent.
Gives you lots of time to practice.The only thing I am really considering doing to it are a set of MSD 50s and a better downpipe but I want to run it as is first and see for myself. First mod is going to be Direct Scan or Turbo Link so I can just start seeing what goes on inside the thing. I have seen cars with mods like these claim to run high 10s on TB and I have seen cars like this run high 12s on TB so I figure the weak link is me.

I was thinking of buying Tim Barnums TTA as he has dropped the price to 8500 and the stealth factor of those cars is pretty cool as you know but I have always wanted a GN and now...I have one.

I was going to say, you might wanna think about ditching the 009s for some MSD 50s. I ran those in my TTA and they are awesome. They idle and drive just like stock.
The number 1 to remember is that in order to go fast you NEED Racegas and a Racechip. These cars don't run at all on pumpgas.
Going fast is all about tuning and setting the car up right. I can echo your statements. I watch 14 and 15 second GNs every week at NED with 11 seconds worth of parts.
Good Luck!

Thanks guys 
Took the new ride down and visited the old ride in Rhode Island today. The three of us had a nice chat.......told "the 94" not to **** around this time or it will be replaced
Just kidding......the old girl is not going anywhere!!
Bill good to hear from ya
I'll send you an "E" mail.
Oh and as far as the mod thing goes........
Going to cut out the plastic under the air filter and do just basic maintainance stuff (plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc...) otherwise the only thing I'd remotely consider doing is a Vigilante (next spring) to wake it up a little coming out of the hole but I'm sure the $700 for the Vig could be better spent on the 94 anyway.
$100 for the first person to catch me modding "the LS-1" other than the stuff above!!
**** that it's a driver!!
Geez.....leave it to Mikey to turn this into a Buick thread

Mike which race chip did you have the best luck with? The MSD 50s are a given as from what I have seen they give the best all around driveability and have a great selection of nice chips to power them.
