"Help" anything a veteran owner of a Sy/Ty could bring to the table. I am a GNX, GN and T-type owner, there are thing on Buicks that stand out like sore thumbs to me that wouldnt from a person that has never owned one. I hope that clears up things. :)

RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM THE SYTY WORLD!!!!!!

They really aren't too bad, they are no worse than a woman, just alot of up keep. To me is sounds like you have a good base, first thing I would do is loose the KB boost a pump, for a Walbro, and get some more specifics about the following

Crane turbo grind Roller Cam & Rockers
Jimmy 2 Turbo (Brand New)
KB Injectors


They are fun trucks, I would suggest using the search button, probably every question that you can think of, has been asked multiple times before.

Overall the community is nice, we all get on a high horse from time to time, no biggy


Where do you live, I would suggest taking the truck to someone that knows how to tune a Sy.

Search button has been my friend.

As for the turbo from my understanding its a T-70

The injectors are 42.5's

working on the cam specs.


If and when I get the truck I will do the following in, Fuel pump, 50 pounders, Better chip......


Thanks

I would ask for pics of the undercarriage and look for rust. Some of those pics give hints of the undercarriage and kind of looks a bit skeptical. Paying that much, it should have 0% rust.

2 owner truck, always garaged and no winters. The pics had me worried at first, the owner assures me the truck is 100% rust free. I will inspect prior to pruchase.

The truck has mybe been driven few thousand miles since the build up 5 years ago, which worries me alittle and make me feel good at the same time. The owner has the boost set at 12psi :tup: and has been that way for years.

Here's my guidance.....if you have the cash, buy the truck. You will never be able to replicate what he has done for $16,000 and it is well worth every penny. I thought my brother was going to buy it a month or two ago but he opted for an VW R32.

I bought a truck that sat for awhile. No big problems. Just taking care of the basic reliability mods so far like stated above. I've had to deal with a few leaks and the like just from being 16yrs old and sitting but nothing catastrophic.

Just a heads up.....if you are serious about acquiring this Sy, you might want to make a move before the end of May. I am pretty confident if someone doesn't buy it by then, it will be moving east to some degree.
