    Gutted Cat

    Bill Anderson's shop replaced the pump, so everything should be good with that.

    Gutted Cat

    New fuel pump and filter installed last year. Was just driving along and all was good. Layed into it after about an hour of driving and all of a sudden fuel psi was dropping to 25 as soon as boost would come up. I'm thinking regulator crapped out. It's about 15 years old. Any thoughts?

    02 Bonneville SSEI

    My daily driver has that on the hood. A lot of them rust by the gas cap too. Going to coat it in wax religiously to try to keep it nice. Right now this thing is like a time capsule.

    02 Bonneville SSEI

    Here's the new addition. Has one imperfection on passenger door that I will get taken care of. The original owner was a 90+ year old lady. I'm buying from the 2nd owner. Still has the original exhaust and garage kept since new. Cold air intake is first on the list. Paying on the higher end...

    02 Bonneville SSEI

    Not a tech question. Just wanted to tell about my rainbow unicorn I found. 02 Bonneville SSEI with 44,000 on the clock! Been looking for one for a long time. Getting harder and harder every day to find one. I have the SLE (daily driver) and another SSEI parts car, so this one will make 3...

    T-bolt clamps

    Thanks for that link. The truck shop where I work doesn't have the "in between" sizes. Are you guys using the ones with the spring?

    T-bolt clamps

    3" won't slide over the coupling and the next size up ends up with a mile of thread sticking out. What's the deal here? Blew my up-pipe off. Should have stayed with the damn hose clamps. Any helpful input.

    Tire height change from 26" to 28"

    Ok. Thanks guys. Tire height is some of my issue but I think my converter is way too loose. Thinking of dropping the stall from 3200 to 2800 and running Daves converter to wake this beast up. It is screaming for mercy @ 6000+ by the end of the 1/4 right now. Any thoughts on the possible...

    Tire height change from 26" to 28"

    With stock gearing and stock trans keeping it in D, at what point (mph wise) do most of you need to change tire height to avoid excessive rpms in the 1/4 mile? My next question is how much speed is gained on average when switching from a 26" tall tire to a 28" tall tire? I'm thinking a change...

    killed a pony

    Thanks guys. I knew it was a bad place to do it. I should have know not to bite, but he instigated it so I felt obliged to put him in his place. I've been taught all of the tricks from my dad who was a known and respected street racer back in the day. He died 9 years ago and even though it...

    killed a pony

    Spanked a fox body mustang over the weekend. Was peddling it the whole time. He stayed behind to talk to the guy with flashing red and blue lights. Someone had a bad night.

    Proper response to "Nice Monte"

    F it. I'm just going to tell people it's a rare Toyota imported from Japan.

    Proper response to "Nice Monte"

    Yeah, I'd rather just leave them scratching their heads wondering why it sounds different and doesn't have dual exhaust. I guess the Buick emblems aren't enough for some to figure it out.

    Proper response to "Nice Monte"

    I'm sure everyone here has heard this before. I'm starting to wonder if I should continue to educate these clueless people or just say "Thanks". Maybe it is best to keep people uninformed.

    Run it out or lift at 1/8th

    Same problem here. I let out the first run because it was revving too high before the finish line in D. Second pass I just ran it in OD. Shifted to 4th about 100 ft before the 1/4 mile. I think my stall is too high. Not running again until I make some changes. Was still fun though.

    New best without trying hard

    Forgot to mention, first run was a 13.0 @ 96 with a 2.1 60'. Came off the line like a slug on purpose and let out before finish line. Second run, raised boost 1 psi, got out of the hole a little better and gained 1/2 second and 14 mph from previous run.

    New best without trying hard

    Decided to run the car last night with the new combo. 0 boost launch on BFG radial T/A's netted a 2.0 60'. 20 psi of boost. 12.5 @ 109 with 10.5 AFR. I don't want to push the car to the limits as I enjoy car cruises and shows more than beating the crap out of my car on track nights. Not...

    01 Regal LS Supercharged upgrades and deletions

    Did you pull the ABS fuse at the track? My friend had problems launching his GS until I told him to pull the fuse.

    The Turbo T that no one wanted

    Wow. Wish I had your skills. Great job. You will not regret getting Dave to do the engine. He might not be known for engine work, but I can tell you that mine is a monster. Best thing I've ever did to this car... and the most expensive, but you only live once. Mine took a while to get back...

    Car is hesitating/w a backfire while building boost or just into boost

    Mine did the same thing. Ended up being the cam sensor as others have mentioned.
