I will never log in or make another post on turbobuick.com. Thanks for pointing this out. Jimmy

Turbobuick community in general alienating people since 1987. Both members pretty longstanding with a minor problem and the ban hammer comes out? We are not talking about scammers here.

Timing does not control the speed of the burn but when it starts. More fuel does not slow down the burn either but lowers the temperature of everything in the combustion chamber, especially the intake valve. Higher octane fuel slows the rate of combustion and is why you increase timing some...

First off boosted engines need less timing because the more dense the air charge the faster it burns since the molecules are closer. With that being said, having 5 degrees less timing when you have 10psi more boost has no where near the same effect as turning the timing back without boost...

Are you throwing me out of your thread because I am willing to belly up to the table? You are far more childish than I thought, and I didn't give you much credit before. I am fairly certain I will get a cheering section for it. Not because it is a good idea, but because I will run the...

I for one have seen no evidence of that. An error maybe. Dusty seems like a gentleman. I am sure he is wondering how he gets sucked into this abyss too. I could really use another set of eyes looking for the heads. You don't see them very often. If anyone is looking to sell some please...

I was serious when I told you to find me a set and send me a PM. I WILL spend the money on them and I WILL try them out on a 274" stage motor. I will try a 71mm and a 76mm. I bet I can get a good time with a 45-76.

90 degrees celcious? Where are you measuring that? Running a liiquid intercooler dry? Why? Is that something else you set out to do from the beginning? Is that a record setter too? Has anyone else read this thread? I feel like I am taking crazy pills! I understand you run alcohol, but why...

They're called excuses.

When I was a kid my Grandfather loved to take me out in his old cars. One day we took a 33 Pontiac with a straight flathead 8 out. He was so proud of how slow that car could climb a hill in high gear just idling away. Kind of reminds me of trying to find the surge limit on a turbo. Except...

Well since you brought it up the 71mm cars make as much power as your 91mm but without that highly efficient top end charge. I am absolutely sure you will try to twist my words and not read what they are saying, and yet I am getting sucked into the discussion like a black hole. Nothing is...

Hate to complicate things, but are there any T4 turbos that could be considered so you wouldn't have to swap out the passenger side header to run TSM with a car that is set up for TSL or TSO?

My wife gets mad if we don't take it out enough, I get the old, 'it's been weeks since we've taken the Buick' bitchy attitude.

I don't understand the people who have said they would run TSM if stage blocks were allowed. Run TSL, the 4276 fits in a stock location. The cars are only 100 lbs different. Put your money where your mouth is and run TSL. Sure, the class is short on cars, but it doesn't have to be. If you...
