Can a olds 455 whoop up on a turbo grand national. Looking at building mine for the sole purpose of not letting one whip my ***. I love my olds but u gotta respect them buicks.

 

The answer to your question will lie in the build details and state of tune. Either engine could come out on top.

 

A Honda could whoop on a Grand National with enough money put into it.

 

Keep in mind that the engine is only a small part of drag strip performance. Suspension, gearing, chassis setup, tire selection, launch technique all play important roles.

 

Ive seen plenty muscle cars get their feelings hurt by these regals. Granted I dont know whats all these guys have put into them but damn there fast.

 

Plus I dont want a v6 giving it to me like that. my plans is a 455 similar to the car craft build 500hp 600ft lbs somewehre in that range. stage II 200r4 with the billet internals and a 3.50 ford 9 in rear end. more so a luxury sport street strip vehicle with A/C and sounds full interior power windows seats and locks. I trying to make a cutlass g-body version of a mercedes amg but will most definetely have to kick some ***

 

also remember that weight also plays an important factor, I have seen many a Chevelle 454 fall to a nova ss with a small block, as the other said it is what you want to invest.. a turbo regal is nothing to sneeze at and a GN or GNX deserves plenty of respect, nowadays it seems like HP is all about how big a shot of NOX is given???? but a 455 in a g-body has Cool Factor no bout a doubt it !!!
