From the Turbo Buick bible(gnttype.org)
Locking up the torque converter manually has been shown to improve ET's by up to .2 seconds and add 2 MPH to your trap speed in the quarter mile. By activating this switch at the starting line, fluid will travel to the converter forcing lockup once the transmission hits second gear (there is no fluid path to converter while in 1st or reverse.) Yes, this is hard on the converter and transmission, but so is racing in general.

The switch will ground the TCC circuit regardless of ECM request. To install, run a wire from a ground location to one end of the switch and run another wire from the other end of the switch to terminal F on the ALDL connector under the radio pod. (As you are looking at the ALDL connector, terminal F is at the top left.) The easiest way to do the connection is to splice into the wire behind the connector.

Remember to flip the switch to the Off position once you are through the quarter mile to avoid unnecessary lockup, wear-and-tear, etc. With the switch in the Off position, the converter will only lockup when the ECM commands it to lockup. Note that this retains the Brake pedal override.

Will have them added to the website this weekend! Spend away! This worked out so sweet I wish I thought of it long ago. Was reading about how the stock one is now discontinued and see the prices people are asking for used ones so that set of the old lite bulb.

Cool. Save one for me. When you first posted about this I was like, I don't think so. I was picturing something like a chrome box, but this looks great and almost like it belongs in there.

look really awsome. you plane to make anything for the hydroboost?

[jpratt]

Found my fan delay relay is toast. Sounds like a broke light bulb, rattle rattle.
Question:
Would you replace the relay or leave it out of the car?

Over the last 2 days... finished installing my external oil coolers, put the grill and radiator hold down back on, installed 6K HID low beam kit, installed front frame braces.

Probably the last fun I'll be having this year, cold weather right around the corner. One more oil change and car wash and she'll be away for the winter.

[Scooter3800]

Ordered an oil pump booster plate, adjustable oil pressure regulator, and 204-214 cam!!

[jwillettgn]

Put the hood back on finally, only been 7 years. LOL
Getting closer.

I drove to my brother's house today to pick up some firewood.

Listened to the exhaust leak that the $500 SS downpipe and dump pipe didn't fix the whole way there. Watched the knock gauge light up as the engine red-lined when it shifted (slipped is more like it) to 3rd gear with my 'new' transmission.

I'm f***ing done with this s**t. Anyone want to buy a GN?

ive done alot. i will post pictures this weekend. got my new wheels and tires. stock T-type wheels with M/T ET Street Radials mounted. Pulled my Powersteering pump pully and bracket and took them to the powder coaters, pulled the oil pan to fix my oil leak, pulled the turbo off and sent it to precision so they can fix there fup, pulled trans pan and installed a new 700 TCC 2 pressure switches and a new pan gasket.

[mcasteel2112]
