Turbo Dreamin' Oh what a wonderful Christmas it would be! I'm in. Scott 97.5 Regal GS 11.53 @ 117

I plan to have my MP112 powered GS in Salem, OH for the BPG Nationals this week. If you plan to attend and are interested, I would be glad to show you what I have done. Scott

There is a defective part. A service bulletin is available. The dealer should fix this. Luckily, mine did this when still under warranty. Scott 97.5 Regal GS 11.570 @ 117.98

You can loosen the upper engine supports/mounts and rock the engine forward. This gives you a little more room. My other suggestion is to make sure you have some bandaids handy. ;) I celebrate when I've changed the plugs and still have all of the skin on my knuckles. Scott 97.5 Regal GS...

A Goodyear Gatorback for the 3.4 pulley is 4060660. Scott

I actually like that idea and it gets me thinking of some other places. I have had my Flex-A-Lite cooler on the front passenger side of the radiator for 2.5 years. Now, I am looking to add something else onto the front of the radiator so I might need to relocate the tranny cooler. Thanks for the...

Besides in front of the radiator, where else have you installed the tranny cooler in your GS? Thanks Scott

Awesome times for being stock! What was that web-site again? smoken.com takes me to an anti-smoking site. Thanks. Scott 97.5 GS

I use AutoTap on my laptop and it works well. 3.8 DUB pulley is now being made. Contact SouthFloridapulleyhq.com and they can set you up with one. Scott 97.5 GS

I am not sure what else breaks in the differential, but the next weakest link seems to be the turbine/input shaft. I am not an expert on this topic, but I have looked into the options for a stronger tranny. It looks like stronger parts have been found for most of the failing components except...

Sort of off topic, but...I'm beta-testing a LSD unit that should be available mid-December. It should be fun. I've been lucky that my original tranny is still holding up considering my Hoosier DOT Slicks, 13.0x ET runs with mid-1.8 sec 60' times. Input shafts breaking in pre-99 4T65e...

For the DUB, www.southfloridapulleyhq.com. I believe you can go down to the 3.25 inch pulley before you should get a smaller than stock belt. I think I went to the Goodyear Gatorback 4060650 size with my 3.25 and it was real tight. I haven't heard of any problems leaving the "perf-shift"...

The engine will not shut down. You can drive as long as you can put up with the loss of the extra power. I drove for a couple of days until I got my bent pulley off. Scott 97.5 GS

I recommend the Dial-Ur-Boost pulley system starting with the 3.4. That way, you can switch pulleys quickly and without the need of a puller. When I pressed on my 3.4 pulley I said that was the last one I would ever do. Then I pressed on a 3.25 before getting smart and purchasing the DUB unit...

I asked a Bonneville guy (Scott Cook) with a nearly completely redone SC 3.8 about the forged rods and this is what he said: According to Richard Lee [builder of the Spirit of Bonneville, Salt Flats car], several companies will custom make forged L67 connecting rods. I stuck with modified...
