The place is Performance Machine in Everett, Wa. - 425-355-6363. Dave is the owner and did the machine work for Gene's car. GN Northwest also sends their stuff out to him for work. He's also done a number of Buick V6's builds over the years - from stock rebuild to some high end build one's...

I went through my "parts dept" out in the garage and have these items to offer up. All are brand NEW and never been installed. Let me know what can shipped. Complete Walbro GSS 340 fuel pump. Got from Precision Turbo BEFORE the cheap made in China ones several years back. Pressure Side Turbo...

Hi All, Installing a new set of T/A factory replacement headers and I wanted to run the turbo gasket that comes with it. Gasket is two sided - copper side and the other the thick gasket material. Question is which side the copper goes towards? Header flange or the turbo inlet? Thanks.

Glen - I used Performance Machine in Everett for my high-end V-6 build. 425-355-6363. The owner: Dave has built a lot of Buick V6's and is quite familiar with them. He's done everything from stock all the way up to full out Stage II race motors. Mike

Dan - Congrats on taking first place trophy....! So it didn't go home (yet another year) with SINISTR. :D. Dan - Congrats on the new personal best with SINISTR. 121 mph trap speed - That's hauling the mail...! (y) Mike

I was curious (o.k. sort of a trivia question :D) when the cars came new from G.M. they had a 180 degree thermostat. What temp did the low speed fan kick on at? What was the temp the high-speed one turned on?

Dan - You sure Sinistr is going to be up for the challenge for taking the trophy?? Taking last years event off. :D Mike.

Only thing that would get Dan to keep the "streak" alive would be trash talking from Josh. Oh wait...I guess there won't any. :( Mike

Curious if the Champion fuel rails will fit the stock intake manifold? Mike

Depending the level of performance you're after - the 200/200 from Lunati is a nice upgrade up from stock, the 206/206 from Weber Racing got Red Armstrong deep in the 10's or there's the 212/212 from comp. Before I made the jump to the 212 billet roller from Weber for my new engine - I had...

I have the 212/206 Weber Billet cam w/the morel lifters for my new motor. When I was building it - I talked to Dave Weber about tit and said it was a good cam - "brutal mid-range". I have the T/A SI heads so I wanted something with trap speed around 130-ish. The 206 would get you bout the 120...

Sweet.

I get zero :rolleyes: - I take a commuter bus to work - 'communial' traveling at it best. - Drive a 94 Chevy on the weekends - 10 Mpg mostly anywhere.

Pretty sure I got Josh covered on that one but all my parts stacked together are probably faster. :D Mike

Dan - Now that you're done being hasseled by "the man" does this we can expect some smack talk between you and Josh?? :D Mike
