Had a little fun with a friends (Dick Johnston's) 87 Turbo T (20,000 miles) the other day at the track. It's essentially stock including turbo, intercooler, injectors, and exhaust. Installed a 340 pump, adjustable fuel regulator, Caspers knock detector and Razor's incredible Alky Control...

A friend and Buick Mechanic is working on an 87 T Type and is unable to fix a problem. When coolant temperature is under 160 and shifted from park to drive the car stalls immediately. Once at 160 or higher it works perfectly. He has replaced the IAC, removed the translater and re-enstalled...

My Art Carr 9" nonlock-up is on the loose side with a 3400-3500 stall. At approximately 136-137 mph 1/4 mile speed the tach is at 6400 rpm and no where to go (22 #'s boost). Its been suggested that I shift to 4th gear at approximately 6000 rpm to keep the engine rpm down and to make room for...

I have the original radiator in my 86 turbo Regal that needs to be replaced. I'm looking for a direct replacement with provision for factory tranny and oil cooler. G Body, TR Custom Parts and a transmission company in California each sell one. The range is somewhere between $400 to $500. I...

Just had my 2004R rebuilt by Russ Merritt. My previous build with another vender included all the billet parts but it just wasn't right. It would slide into the next gear from the very first day. I got it back from Russ looking like it was just built by GM. The attention to detail is...

Is there a gas/alky ratio (percentage) that is recommended? I backed out approximately 13% gas in preparation for the alky. At the present time I am using alky on the street with relatively low boost (10-15#'s) I have the gain knob on 7 (1-8 scale). I notice that the plugs are very clean to...

I purchased Razor's alky system at the GS Nationals in BG. Installed it on the car in July and followed the instructions in testing each phase of the system. Everything worked perfectly! The problem that I had was that the aftermarket operating computer system in the car does not retard...

Many have run alcohol injection with unleaded pump gas with great success. Has anyone used alcohol injection with leaded race gas and if so did it improve drag strip performance or dyno numbers? Do the numbers show clear improvement due to the alcohol's cooling ability or for other reasons? Is...

I am considering the purchase of an aluminum driveshaft. I'm concerned with the durability of the factory unit under severe drag race conditions and would appreciate any thoughts, opinions or recommendations and who sells the best aluminum driveshafts for the turbo Regal. The transmission is...

The engine management system on my turbo Regal is Axcel's out-dated DFI system (speed density). My EGT meter recorded just over 1700 degrees going through the lights on my 9 second run. I am looking for information and suggestions on an air/fuel meter that will work off the O2 sensor and...

I Am working on a turbo Regal that has green top injectors (not green stripe). Does anyone know the make and size of these injectors? The only markings on the injectors are numbers 060 and 742. No brand name. Any help would be appreciated.

A friend intends to compete in TSM at the National's this year and is reasonably convinced that the 3 1/2 " down pipe has an advantage over the 3" down pipe when running in the high 9's low 10's. Word is that up to 25 hp was observed on a chassis dyno. Terry Houston was producing them some...

A complete Stage 11 274" is for sale and I am wondering what it is worth as is. Its is a fresh motor complete with normally aspirated intake, aluminum stage 11 heads, dry sump lubrication etc. I realize that significant work and cost would be necessary to convert it to forced induction...

I need long front wheel studs (7/16") that will fit the stock front rotors without additional maching. Does anyone know where they can be purchased, thanks.
