I'm in love with this engine. :drool:
Our engine was design to be efficient. It's much more efficient than the GN engine with better flowing heads. It's just that we have weak points like piston rings, crank shaft, bad maf and such.
If you notice the guys with V6 fbodies making the same boost as the stock GN makes more rwhp. It's just that GN engines has many aftermarket parts and you can really turn up the wick up to 30psi without breaking anything.
If you want a good article on the history of Buick's 3.8 V6 history and their differences including our engine then checkout Hemming's Hot Rod Dec. 2002/Jan. 2003.
