Power Tour 2023 - My Experience

My experience this year on Hot Rod Power Tour 2023.
1,400 mile drive over the 7 days of Power Tour including the drive to and from Nashville. Will the Turbo G-Body GP survive?

Love your Grand Prix! My son has a '99 Grand Prix GTP with a supercharged 3800 we've done a fair amount of work to and one of our dream projects is to do a RWD turbo 3800, so you have inspired us!

Hate you had trouble with the Grand Prix. Nice video. Hope I get to stay at the Burnouts Motel next year. 😂. New Sub to your channel.

I feel ya man, I did power tour in 2022 and 2 days before lost the transmission in my C10, ended up taking my daily 2006 Cadillac DTS. Sucked but still had fun and got to tak the C10 in 2023! I was lucky the trans went out before i hit the road though. I was stayed at the hotel with the band it was a blast that night!

Thanks for sharing your power tour, awesome

Loved watching your video. Great camera quality and filming. Loved your music choices too. Looks like you had a blast! Sorry to hear that the grand prix is hurt. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with that. A teardown video would be interesting to see what happened. Love your regal. It looks like a well built comfy cruiser.

Thanks! That'll be the next video!

I was on my way. Made it almost to Atlanta from Kentucky and trans started slipping. I turned around and headed home. I got lucky I made it back home

[@tuningwithstyx]

Probably a good call unless a parking lot transmission swap was on your bucket list haha

[@Yelnats101]

@@tuningwithstyx that would be a nooooo. Not on my list lol. I’m just glad I made it back. Scary 6 hour drive back 😂

Had a 81 GP burned up. Missed it. Got a 98 GMC sonoma 4.3 all original. Like ti take it on power tour one year. Your GP is awesome. Is it a V6 with turbo? Want to turbo my 4.3. That's why I asked. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@tuningwithstyx]

Nice! Mine has been swapped with L67 v6 and has a turbo. I'd check out a couple videos, way more to go over than I can in a youtube comment. I'd check out the roadkill rotsun video - they swapped a 4.3 in it and turbo charged it in this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTNdGNmf515l68

[@stigarchives4138]

how difficult was this swap in all? How does it compare to other swaps? I had a vortec 350 laying around that i swapped into my original 3.8 cutlass and while it has been fun, I'm dreading for something more unique and kinda want to keep it to the roots with the 3.8

[@tuningwithstyx]

Pretty much nothing bolted in haha Built my own motor mounts, exhaust manifolds (had to because turbo), wiring harness, etc. If you can weld and wire up a harness it's really not bad though. Gives you a bit more room up front compared to a V8 too!
