according to my 1983 Oldsmobile Chassis Service Manual by GM for the Firenza, Cutlass Ciera and Omega lines (mine is a 83 Ciera Brougham with the 2.5 iron duke with 8.2 or so:1 CR); for that year Iron Duke, fuel is rated at a minimum 82 octane; whereas the 3.0 is also rated for 82 octane; for...
isnt that kind of similar to the "high rise ram air" 4bbl intake manifolds for the Buick Stage 2 engines? then put on an AK miller box for draw through turbo, one that bolts directly between the 4bbl carb and the intake manifold but has plumbing coming out of it to the turbo and back...I seem to...
1978 Buick Regal
somebody would like this...minus the enkei wheels lol. I don't have the budget for this unfortunately :( its a 78 regal with turbo 3.8!

eh lol; i was of the opinion that if the LG3 FWD 3.8 intake was of the same intake pattern as the RWD 3.8 blocks'; that would have been one way to do a turbo EFI engine; simply by having a turbo intercooled with hoses routed right into the tb; tho that'd require something like a reburn chip or...
when i DO drink; which isn't often...i go for either the Capt's Tattoo wit Cherry coke; or soco-7Up, sometimes flaming Dr. Pepper...used to be all about the grey Goose Screwdriver and straight 151... lol (that was not a good 2009 NYE party...where I drank a 350ml bottle of 151 in like 30 minutes...
