    People say the same thing about other people who restore and race Buick's. To each there own.

    True, and my earlier post was meant to be light hearted but many times these posts can be interpreted in many different ways unless we explain every word we write, which isn't logical. I see things everyday that I would absolutely not spend one cent on whereas the owners are basking in their own glory over them, and I'm just as sure that there are others out there questioning my sanity for doing what I have done to my own cars. But it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. Like you said, to each their own.

    Not the twin turbo truck, but this one we did a while ago with a Whipple charger came in today. Hadn't paid attention, but seems like all the sleeper trucks we do are black.

    My Titan is kind of a "sleeper" it only has a Injen cold air intake and Borla muffler (more mods to come in the future) but it's funny to watch my wife drive it. She hits the gas and the air sucking, exhaust rumbling starts and I look out the corner of my eye and see the grin on her face deep down she likes speed. I asked her if she'd like to trade in her Kia Sorrento for a track hawk, she smiled and said yes :)

    This is my lowered all wheel drive Buick Rainier. It had a 5.3 LS but I ripped it out and it’s getting a turbocharged buick 350 with EFI and a 4L80E.

    The 6L80E can easily handle 700 HP stock, they are very good. Just add a triple disk lockup converter.

    Even just add some speed engineering long tube headers, magnaflow exhaust and a BTR stage 2 cam. With a custom tune that really woke up my 6.0
