    700hp Buick V6 for Noble or Boxster

    Why waltz when you can rock and roll?

    Imagine what a 700hp, 295-pound package could do in a Noble or in a 911 or Boxster.

    TA Performance has created a monster. It is a fully streetable motor with incredible output. Compact and well built its all up price is probably close to 12K depending how you configure
    it.

    Is this the same engine/block that Buick had in the Grand National back in 87? If so, these engines in stock form had a reputation for dieing at about 10~15K miles.

    Same size engine but not the same engine. They make their own custom improved blocks and heads that solve the oiling issues of the original Buick design. If you know anything about GNX engines read it and you'll see the huge changes.
    Its all state of the art engine technology not state of Buick stuff from 80's.

    Jim,

    In my Noble, it would probably tear the tranny to smithereens.

    That is, until Quaife-UK comes up with a tranny upgrade capable of handling all that torque. When is the updated turbocharger going into this puppy?
