    old school Nova spanks WRX Sti

    Hi Guys, Sorry about the long post but I don't get in many races with my daily driver Nova. I got in a good race last night on the way home. I was in my old 1966 Nova four door driving down I-215 and saw a Suburu WRX Sti with a big ugly exhaust pipe coming on the freeway at 21st South...

    torque converter lock up or non LU?

    I am rebuilding the 200R4 trans in my daily driver Nova and would like to get a different converter than the current D5. My TTA has a ProTorque 2800 with a Janis trans that is excellent. I read an article in GMHTP magazine that states that a car will be quicker with a non-lock up converter...

    big neck GN intercooler vs. TTA stocker

    Thanks for the information. My car runs high elevens now and I have a good welding shop at my house. I have made a stretched intercooler before for my GN's but I thought that it looked like a royal pain in the butt to do one on a TTA. I have a hydraulic car lift in my shop so I can access...

    big neck GN intercooler vs. TTA stocker

    I am thinking about putting a big neck GN intercooler on my TTA to replace the stocker with. I realize that the TTA intercooler has more fins per inch than the GN but I do not want to cut it up. I have Razor's alcohol kit and a TA-49 turbo with 009 injectors. Will switching intercoolers be...

    009's and not happy...

    I have one of Eric's thumbwheel chips in my TTA with 009's and it works flawlessly. It is very hard to tell that it is not a stock chipped Buick Turbo motor. Excellent manners and seamless transition from boost to non-boost. Eric tells me that I have the only thumbwheel chip he made for...

    what VP race gas to use

    The car has ran high 11's before and I thought that it might benefit from more timing and boost, which a higher octane fuel would allow. C12 may be plenty, I don't know.

    what VP race gas to use

    Hi Guys, Which VP race gas should I use with my alcohol injection setup when I race at the track. I have always used C12 but I realize that the octane is higher in the C14 and C16. Do most of the turbo guys run C16? The car is running great on the premium unlead and alcohol!!!

    alcohol injection and race gas

    Hello Gentlemen, Thanks for the quick reply. I feel lucky to have the only thumbwheel chip that you made because it is very user friendly and is much easier than pulling the kickpanel out everytime you want to access the computer. I will experiment with the car. I have a Directscan and a...

    New Corvette gets spanked by old iron

    I would have to agree with you that it was a stupid thing to do. There were no side streets connecting to this highway we raced on but very stupid none the less.

    New Corvette gets spanked by old iron

    Hi Guys, I got in a race with a new Corvette in my old ugly four door Nova. I was driving my ugly Nova and I had my oldest son with me who is 13. We were at the light on a sunday afternoon and this guy and his girlfriend or wife pull up in a 2001 or 2002 Yellow hardtop vette. I said to my...

    Hello, My friend has an 87 GN that needs a new TCC solenoid. Do you have to pull the valve body to replace it and how big of a job is it? He has limited auto mechanic experience. Thanks in advance

    New tta owner with alcohol injection

    Thanks for the information. I tried the car this weekend at about 22 pounds of boost and added alchohol until all the knock went away. This is amazing.....22 pounds with good advance on street gas. Razors kit is borderline miraculous. Tony was a great guy to buy a car from. First rate all...

    Hello, I just bought TTATony's car from Pennsylvania. I have had a few GN's but never any with alcohol injection. My tta has Razor's kit on it with Turbo tweak chip(s). I have the boost up at about 20 pounds and am not getting any knock on the direct scan. How much boost and timing do you...
