The last reasonable competitive one I know of was campaigned by the Gallinas, same family that owned the wicked Super Stock GNX. They ran the stocker as both an early non intercooled car (the car was really an 84 model non intercooled car) and a later intercooled car. I think Duttweiler built their engines, John Craig at Limit engineering their turbochargers, and their crew chief on the stocker was Nick Micale.

The Buick V6 is not real strong, it has block problems, and serious oiling system problems, it is also hard to keep head gaskets on them when you push them hard, especially since you cannot run head studs in Stock.

I have an 84, I've looked at running it in Stock, and decided against it, as I don't think it would be very fast, I know it would be expensive, and I don't think it would be reliable or consistent.
