Me and my buddy Mike are building it. Not our first time.

Huge thanks to RJC Racing, Gbodyparts, and Precision Turbo (Patrick Rubio)! They are making my rebuild of my '86 WH1 T-Type very good and enjoyable!! It's so hard to get parts and they all have went way beyond to get me parts. Great vendors!! Thank you!! Chad Schwartz

I have a 1 off stock location CAS V4R that is raised up for street use. My friend that is helping me work on my car wants to replace it with a front mount. I want air conditioning to work in the car during 90 degree days. Is upgrading to a front mount from what I have worth it and what works...

Hey Bob, Your gas chips with lean cruise does 30+ mpg. Is that function still enabled with E-85? Just curious. It will be less but might be useful to me when I upgrade to E-85 with your chip.

I have Red's double pumper in-tank setup with Red's (shimmed I think) modded 340's I think. Do I need to change out the fuel pumps to be E-85 compatible or will those pumps be ok?

Hi guys!! Long time no see!!! After many years I'm working on getting my '86 T-Type refresh and rebuild from being in storage for years. We are going to go through the entire car from front to back. Poor thing has sat for 7 years. Time to get it back and going!! I have a list a mile long...

I want to refresh my stock engine that has port/polished heads without breaking the bank. Flat tappet or roller depending. Just high 10 sec street/strip car. Who do I go to and have it done right?

They heads I have I bought used and were freshed up and done by PT&E. What valve springs have a pink stripe on them? I'm not sure what valve springs they put on it.

In my area (Iowa the corn country) ethanol gas is very common. It ate up the fuel lines to my fuel pumps and made them like jelly blowing them out. So, something to watch if you end up putting ethanol premium gas in your car especially during winter storage.

I had CAS make me a V4R stock location intercooler that was modified to be a street version (raised up for street ground clearance). Wondering how many they made besides mine.

Hello all. Been gone for years but am back. I'm getting my '86 WH1 back out and done right. It's been sitting for years off and on with some issues which I'm fixing it all this month. The combo is good and so is the car minus replacing the perfect headliner that fell apart as well as the...

Hi Bob! Been a very long time. The technology you did on your own and spent a little time with me does crazy crazy things and with the PTE turbo, the alcohol injection from Steve....WOW. I haven't opened it up yet. I can easily do a mid 10 or a mid 6th in the 8th and the bottom end is 100%...

The MSD 50lb Chip Bob Bailey and I worked on years ago is still what I run and is still the king of all alcohol injection chips ever made. Over 2 years of testing and engineering. All features you see in the current chips were made pretty much in those 2 years. It still kicks some serious ass...

Hi Guys! It's been a very, very long time since I've posted here! I've been gone for about what least 5 years!? Spent all that time doing the live music band thing. Since my lead singer is moving to Florida thought I'd stop by and catch up on the Turbo Buick world. I sold my GN a...

Welp, here are my results with the T-Type from tonight. First time at the track with current combo. Started out good then ended bad!! These runs where made with straight 91 octane pump gas, 100% denatured alchy, 24 psi boost, 26/25/23 degree Extender chip, and slicks. First pass...

The alchy injection info page has a few new revisions started and all further updates will be found here from now on: http://midwestracing.hostin.com/alcohol.htm

Has anybody had good luck with running the monster M&A intake? A friend of mine has one on his car and it idles and runs like crap. It's been a real pain to try and tune it. Debating about yanking it off and installing a ported stocker.

Is the stock '86-'87 timing chain cover still available from GM? If so, anyone have the part number? I can't seem to find it. Thanks,

Having a freakin wierd oil pressure readings that is driving me nuts with my T-Type!!! I installed a new VDO oil pressure gauge couple months ago. Before I took the motor out and tore it down to the short block to clean it all up with new gaskets, HV oil pump, timing chain, 206/206 cam...
