Hey whats up my fellow local turbo buick junkies ;) Some of you guys already know but for those who dont, I just wanted to make myself available. Ive been a certified paint protection film installer since 2004 ("invisible bra", "clear bra"). Not sure how many of you are members over at st...

Congrats!!! Hey I know I havent been around like I used to, still have a pulse though and still have the car. Heard about Jamie's times from one of our local guys who was there to see it and just had to get on here and post. Way to go Jamie! Makin us all proud! Whenever money and other...

From playing with different mixtures way back when I do know that straight h2o quenched detonation quite effectively. I would turn up the boost and couldnt get any kr. However I stopped turning up at a point since I could also feel that there was a loss in overall power compared to using the...

Alright Brent!! Congrats! Glad to see things are coming together. I should have been there along with you and Jamie long time ago but I know Ive been slacking :redface:. I really am tired of working in a small small garage or outside so Im sort of holding out till I can build me a new one and...

Matt, I am so sorry to hear about that. I would have been just as pissed. I remember when my brother's '84 was stolen we drove around for hours looking for someones ass to beat! After getting screwed over early on with the first cars I owned I started learning how to do "everything" so that I...

I bought my Bilsteins from AutoZone a few years back. I could of sworn they were in stock and had a lifetime warranty! Im pretty sure the price was reasonable too, especially considering the warranty. I have always been impressed with how the car sits and handles after putting new stock springs...

Jamie, Congrats!! My brother mentioned your most recent feat and I finally have been able to check out the thread. I knew you weren't satisfied with 11.6's;) Sounds like your definitely on your way to a 10 sec slip and your goal. Then you guys can sit back and exhale in the glory :cool: :D Good...

Thanks for all the replies! Im very pleased with the feedback. I know there is definately a right way to do this, and I wish I did it that way before I had a bunch of $$ into it putting it together how it currently sits. I will get with my machinist and ponder all the ideas/info youve given...

Thanks for the replies. I thought the thinnest the cometics came in were .026-.027? I will have to call them. The piston and deck came out to 54cc by the way. I dont know if these pistons were meant to be used with custom length rods or what? Thinking about maybe finding a common ground and...

Ive got a set of 8445 heads that have been ported/polished w/ larger valves, etc, etc. Checked them and they are now at 42cc. Forged pistons for my 4.1 that I grabbed off this board werent exactly what I expected and as a result after short block assembly/balancing, etc., compression isnt what I...

Thanks Fuzzy. Only bad part there is that the short block is fully assembled now:( So I guess Im not likely to be doing it. What final compression ratio did you wind up with on your 4.1?

I suppose I could. They are some already done up heads. Really nice, bigger valves etc, that I picked up from Precision Motorsports of Florida/Bob Morreale (bmcomputersource on here). Didnt really want to mess with them. I'll ask my machinist. I thought I brought up the idea before though. Maybe...

Quoting my machinist the bore is actually 4 inch 20 I want to make sure that my compression ratio is AT LEAST 8:1 (like stock). I was shooting for 8.5:1 or 9:1 but looks like thats not going to happen. I got these forged pistons from a board member awhile back and they wound up not being...

As title says, wondering if there are any steel shim headgaskets available for a production 4.1 ? Bore is 4.20

Bump for a piece that works. I was one of the first group that got these from turbomotion way back when. Cost me $450 + (if I recall correctly) and my intake for a core, and didnt look quite as nice as this one does. Nice bang for the buck. I still have mine and with my small turbo still have...

86/87 harness is engine wiring harness? If so, and complete, Im interested. How much?

Bump for some good injectors. Ive used these for years. Many companies including Poston when selling 36# injectors will often substitute these. Delphi is parent company of AC Delco...

Hi, I might be buying this 87GN... possibly TODAY. I know its short notice but I didnt have the vin until about 30 minutes ago. It has a salvage title and just a little curious about what will come up under the vin. There is no cluster due to fire so I have no idea what the mileage is, but Im...

Hi Bob, Did you make it out there? My brother Aaron and his wife have been driving the full tour since it started (in Cleveland I think). Hes in the Gold T-Ltd. Justin

Great vendor, count me in please!
