    My GN almost stolen from University Mall

    Just a heads up to all the Buick owners out there that my GN was almost stolen. Thanks to the kill switch I had installed they were unable to take it. They popped out my passanger side lock and messed up my steering column and ignition pretty bad. When I got to my car and noticed it the car was...

    6 Kills at Bradenton track

    My best 60' was a 2.0. I was only running the Nittos at 20 lbs. Probably could have dropped them to 15lbs. I also couldn't hold more than 3psi boost at launch anyways I need to adjust my brakes. Unfortunatly I have another problem to fix first. My GN is pumping oil out of the back of the motor...

    Diamond Pistons Rule!

    Diamond Pistons Rule!

    I have been using a set of Diamond forged pistons for my stock motor. I am really impressed with mine too. They also looked great and came with pins and a ring set for about $500.

    jumping o2 numbers

    I finally got a scanmaster last week to pinpoint some problems I have been having with my GN. One thing that is bothering me is the o2 readings, are the supposed to stay in a certain range rather than jump around. My readings go from 84 to 800 to 472 and all over in between. I just installed a...

    octane boost

    If you were still looking for a good octane booster I have found that the new Lucas one in the red bottle works better than all the others I have tried. You still can't go crazy with your boosy but it has helped me get it on the 20 psi range with about 1 degree of knock. It also works very well...

    Trans shop

    As far as I know Victory Trans isn't in business since the owner Rich ( agood friend of mine) got injured. I haven't heard from him in a long time but still trying. So I'm not sure if he may have reopened once he got better. I really hope he does since he does awesome work on all transmissions...

    A challenge!

    You definitly won't have a problem beating that Sentra. I beat one easily with just a te 44 turbo and 3 inch exhaust. While I was running on my nearly bald Eagle gt 2 tires on a bad road too. Then I raced him again on new bridgestone z rated tires on a great road and also with more mods done to...

    What music gets you fired up at the track?

    For me just about every heavy Rammstein song gets me fired up to run even if I am not in my GN. I also have to say Metallica, Slipknot, Fear Factory, and many other heavy bands get me set. Plus it is funny to se alll the people at the track that think you are insane while you are head banging in...

    frame brace ?

    I have one of the crass braces on my car with a PTE FMIC all I had to do was first take the pipes off and then cut some notches into the front end lower air dams to make it fit. Also you may have to pull the pipes down a little lower on the bottom like I did maybe about a half inch. Hope this helps.
