wow. im not pissed, but that was a bit hard for me to read for the first time.
sorry i cant help. i dont know a damn thing about engines. if you are referring to an '86 J-Body, i would suggest going into the "first gen" forums. but i dont think a whole lot of people hang around there. i dont know though. i have never stepped foot in there since i have joined.
good luck with everything man, and welcome to the

i still have my daytona. sits in my garage. haven't driven it for 2 months now, but i start it at least once a week. and yeah you can make a good sleeper w/ a buick t-type. u can get good power out of the 1.8 and 2.0 turbos if built right
People say that what doesn't kill you in this life
will make you stronger. I'm not sure if that is true
or not, but i do know one thing-You have to learn from
it and it has to make you better.......it has to.......

i meant north jersey as apposed to south jersey
Thank god everyone lives up north. More room for me down here in the middle. You must drive like a gazillion miles per hour down south there Bagged, with no one around and all. People from the south have a different accent then people from the north too. I think they still fly the confederate flag down there aswell?
lol well im not originally from this lovely state (sarcasim) but to give you an idea how far south i am, i can see the del memorial bridge from my back yard lol. its not all bad though, it only took me a little over an hour to get to your place when i came and picked up the hood
I remember that day...I was working outside and had 100 girls show up later for a massive hooker party. You missed out man. I told you you should have hung around.
damn i could of went for some hooker punching
Welcome to the gm crowd.UR best bet is to ask ?s in the first gen forum specific to the engine mods or changes u would like to make or improve.There are some peps in there who are very fluent with the turbo version 1.8 or 2.0 .That is my recommendation.Neat car none the less and rare on here,very rare.
