Because that costs money
Question for OP:
Was the 13.8 ran without the Gen V? I saw it in your "current" list.
So that was basically pulley, tune, rockers, plog/downpipe, intake?
Nope, im gonna drop some after christmas partys!
After the cam I did a simple tune. Which got.me to 260hp

Miles..the extra holes on that TB adapter are how the N* mates to it. You use recessed screws to hold the adapter to the Gen V, then put three studs from your Gen V into the adapter to bolt the N* to it.
yessir on a 3,5 pulley w/ overkill can tuneQuote:

OK lets get this straight, im getting mssgs from ppl saying im dumb i need headers, i need E85, i need ported heads and cam etc..listen guys..i WANTED a gen V..so i got it..i felt the throttle of a N* and LIKED it, so i bought one. im not bragging about hp gains, 1/4 mile gains or how cool i think i am. the idea of this thread is for yall to help me with install/tips/do's/donts/suggestions. if yous guys have nothing to contribute then i dont need to read your bs.
i believe alot of you lost the idea of this forum, to share, enjoy the cars we work on/enjoy driving. way back when i used to be excited when i got a little extra kick from rockers or a downpipe or hell, the stupid K&N intake i spent waaay too much money on.
im happy where im at, i turned a 4 door family car into a 13 sec car that i wouldnt hesitate to drive cross country (which ive done multiple times)
buick 3.8 ftw
The followers of this forum have been conditioned to behave this way.Quote:

Seems to me that forums are out to help people go faster for less money.
Must be a terrible thing, this sharing of ideas.
It's a bit misguided and built on the ideas of very few people.Quote:

dude get over yourself, your a moderator for a forum for a v6 family car, your not hot stuff..i dont live on grandprixforums..i have a life and your opinions dont mean much to me..some ppl want suspension work, some want rims and stereo some want motor work, some are happy with a downpipe. get over yourselfQuote:

You should judge the merit of the post by itself rather than assume the intent based on the poster.
