That's what I was thinking, a module pulley setup so I can change back to stock when I hand the keys back to my wife. I know a pulley swap isn't a good first mod, but I wanted to match my brother mod for mod, and I know the boost is raised when he gets his 11' retuned. A pulley swap on mine...

TC/SS or Solstice/Sky are MUCH lighter and 40 more hp than the new Regal. Probably not in the same league. I think when he said "race from a roll", he meant a rolling start in 1st. So a 20mph roll would probably be where we would go from. However, he's saying now he doesn't really want to run...

So my brother just bought a fully loaded, black on black 2011 Buick Regal with the turbocharged 2.0 4cyl and 6speed transmission. Its a very sweet ride, for sure. Wish I could afford a new car in this economy, but I'm doing just fine with my 115k mile 97' Buick Regal GS. Soon after buying it, he...

First, a little history... the car is a 100% bone stock 97' Buick Regal GS with about 117k on the clock. I ran the car back in early May and went 14.54 at 94.xx mph with absolutely no tuning, weight reduction, or modding whatsoever. Back then, temps were in the low 70s or so with the humidity...

stock regal GS + nitrous still doesnt = high 11s not saying it cant be done for $800, but I would just like to know how

Amazing time and mph! However, I'm a bit skeptical about the price required to do so. Typically, a L67 equipped car runs mid - high 14s in good tune, 100% stock. There's no way $800 in regularly priced, or even used, modifications can break the 11 sec barrier. I'd have to speculate that these...

Ended up purchasing a 98' LS1/4L60E fbody instead. Deal was too good to pass up. Guess the boosted 3.8 fbody idea will have to wait...

Found a car. No longer searching

I tried, but she got nervous and backed out. Wanted me to do it... but after she saw what he ran she was kicking herself for not trying. She knew she could do better than his high 16s. Oh well, as I said, my friend wants to come back in his Achieva, so there will be another oportunity for her to...

Nice buy! About a year ago, I had a H/C/bolton 98' Z28 6speed. Dynoed 410rwhp. Due to a slipping stock clutch I could only get it to go 12.5 at 116mph. If I had swapped in an aftermarket clutch, I'm sure I could've gone easy mid 11s at almost 120mph. I had to part with that car, however, due to...

Well, went racing today. And my friend actually showed up! The air quality was terrible, but here's how it went: Round 1... DA 1200ft - Buick Regal: 14.62 at 94.30 with a 2.20 60ft - Olds Achieva: 17.83 at 75.86mph with a 2.36 60ft The Achieva was shifting his auto trans manually. I...

That's what I'm thinking... somewhere between 1.5 and 2 seconds difference between my Regal GS and his Olds Achieva. Just talked to my friend tonight, and he claims he's still going down. The gates open at 8am and I'll be there to let the cars cool off til racing starts at 9... we"ll see if...

Originally, I was supposed to run my 97' Regal GS at my local track against my friends 97' 2.4L Olds Achieva. However, my friend chickened out at the last minute and didn't show up. I still ran the Buick and came away with a 14.54 at 94.44mph. Not too bad for a 100% bone stock car with 115k...

still searching... scouring craigslist and the various forums everyday for my newest project cash in hand... anyone?

Looking for something more local (been browsing the craigslist/forum classifieds about 75 miles away from me). Car must run and drive (as per my wife - no non running cars, she dictates). Looks like the 3.8 cars are the way to go, as my research has unveiled it wouldn't be cost effective to...
