went somewhere over 30 psi..

and that thread is brand new actually this month, the log i saw was a couple of months ago

You may have seen the cursor somewhere along the spool ramp. He wouldn't make a pass if it was maxing out at 25. That would indicate a huge exhaust leak.
 
In regards to gabbys car, I can chime in that his car is at more than 25psi. And the whole crap about blowing gaskets is hilarious. He has my car at 33psi with trw .030 forged pistons , stock rods, and 30/30 stock crank without a girdle or arp
Main,rod bolts. And with his old champion ported irons I have YET to blow a h.g.

Under 30 psi = parked and you don't know what your missing. Thats my .02 cents : )
 
Andy im still waiting for the injectors, btw that time you guys came to my house i saw the log and on that run he showed me the laptop it was under 30 psi thats what i saw, i have no reason to lie or mke up a story that run was under 30 psi i saw the whole run more than once from burnout to pre stage to the end of the run, regardless good for gabby. under or over 30 psi. he's known for making the times.. and you too andy, your not far behind.
 
I'm not saying your lieing Chris, and the inj. Are still in the car I need to fix up some more bugs with the car. What you saw must of been somewhere that peak boost hadn't come in. When we went over that day his car was somewhere along the 32-35 psi. Nothing more than that. And in regards to the oil pressure comment, I got 15-20 psi at idle and 60-70 cruising high way. That's the least thing I'm worried about. Gabbys motor has looser clearances than mine and he's never had an oil problem either. Please come back and try again.
 
ok let me know i thought you had taken them off already when you texted me a couple days ago, i really want to go to the event this weekend at countyline but dont have the 2 step installed nor is it tuned on 116 yet i was going to ask you for you guys to come over to see if you can help me get it dialed in but i know you guys are prob busy...ill try and do it myself..im also in a rush for tires.. going to be some fast cars out there this weekend. you going? i heard you just did your trans also..put a brake in it??? i called your trans man to see if he can put a brake and a drum he told me yeah but he's packed!
 
Unfortunetely I work this sat. A 12hr shift , and the car is not ready for the track yet, I wish it was : ( if you do go goodluck, let us know how you do. And if your getting tires try the Hoosiers 275/60's. There very nice
 
in know one thing...it's hard to go back once you feel it. I was happy at 24-25..for that season...last year i kept it at 26-28. I have it at 30 now. I'm hooked...i cant go back... sounds like i need an intervention.
 
honestly i took the car out yesterday fixed the hose and ran it near 20-21 psi and it sucks, compared to what i felt the day before. i really have to keep it low though with 93/e85 , my AFR was at 10.8 @ wot.. on 3rd gear..1st and 2nd i lean it out alot...maybe this week i'll throw in some 116 or 110 and go up to 30psi,, i need to dial the car in to see what times i could run..my setup isnt very well but i hope i can get some decent numbers...

i think you misunderstood what i meant. im not wishing anything bad on you. you just need to understand that buicks are very unforgiving and tempermental and when it comes to reliability, you pulled the short straw.
 
I know what you meant and I agree that our motors aren't the strongest, but my setup has been running for 2 years without any problems. There's obviously better parts out there but some people can run fast with stock stuff. It's been proven numerous times before. Point of the matter is, just go out and have fun. Under 30 psi doesn't cut it down here in south Florida, there's too much competition.
 
You got the 1 free 109 Motor to Butter pass, next time might be a call to AAA.

But I've been doing a mix 0f 93/E85 and Meth Injection, different car, and it sure does make up for boost creeps or spikes so I'd continue that. And if that Injector and fuel system is saying high 10's in 3rd at WOT then more power to ya. I'd personally try the new High Z 80's and hopefully you're twin nozzle Meth Injection so the fun can continue.

What timing BTW?
