Lost a great friend this week. We both didn't post here much, but always lurking. He will be missed by many. RIP my friend, blessings to the family. Lee

Anybody make it into to Pinks AO for Phoenix 11-20. We have and are trying hard to make the car ready. Hope to see some more GN/T's out there. Come by and say Hi, we will do the same if we see other Buicks. See ya, Lee

Like the title says, put the car into first and it will not shift up if under load. I have to let off the throttle so the trans will shift to second. Does not matter if I shift early or late after I floor it, if I stay in it, car revs to the moon. Could this be just a simple linkage...

Just installed Lonnies new t brake. Seems to work fine, but I have not REALLY launched it. My ? is, once the brake is set in 1st and released, will I have to manually shift up, or will the shifts take place even though the gear selector is in 1st? If that is the case, can I set the brake in...

First- have a NL convertor (and valve, of course) and just installed Lonnie's new T-brake. Can I remove all the TCC wires and switch, or does the hole from the pump need to have the "plunger" in it? Second- anyone have a part # for a T-brake button that will work w/ this new brake? Tried...

Easy ? for most of you I am sure. Can I install the engine w/ everything on it? Exhaust and cross-over, turbo, alternator and AC comp., etc. Should clear the hood and fit, right? Thanks, Lee

Bought 5 sets of head gasgets from a business close-out($10/set-score :)) There was 4 sets of 9441 and 1 set of 8723. I have used the 9441's, but have not seen the 8723's before. The 8723's look very nice, different material and seem a little thinner. Looks like they would hold up nice, so I...

Just installed a new cam, no machine work to block, just replacing the cam, lifters, springs, etc. While I have the engine out, I thought I would replace the rod bearings. My friend said not to do that because of the tolerences involved and I did not do a complete engine rebuild and have the...

Hey all, Got a 218/222 w/ .463 lift in. and .465 ex. flat tappet cam made by Comp. Cams. The tech guy at Comp. said he needed the installed height to recommend springs, is this true? I am sure that he is not very familiar w/ the turbo motor and that many of you might be able to guide me...

Hey guys, OK, so I am going to put in an X3 cam from Full Throttle. Specs are: in-218@.05 w/.460 lift ex-222@.05 w/.479 lift has 112 ls and installs @110. It is hyd. flat tappet, I have ported stock heads and 1.55 roller rockers So my ?'s are what springs, lifters and...

Hey all, Read a few posts and know that if I go roller cam, I will use the lifters from TA. However, I am not sure I can afford roller @ this time. So, I could use some guidance on selection. I currently have an ATR 214 flat tappet cam that has lost some lobe size :frown: Since...

Can someone please tell me the torque for the bolts that clamp the crossover to the headers. Can't find it and I do not want to destroy the lead donut. Thanks, Lee

Currently have ET Streets on the car, best 60' 1.74 I have a set of slicks sitting in the garage that I have not used because I just put studs in the axles. Would it be worth putting the slicks on? Is there THAT much of a difference? Thanks, Lee

Hey all, OK, so I got a 70Qtrim turbo from a friend to replace mine. No matter what I do, I can only build 15-16#'s of boost. The RJC controller is as tight as I can get it(shorter overall), I even removed the set nut so I could set it tighter. I tried a very heavy duty spring in the...

Hey all, I just got a dbl pump fuel set up complete w/ all wires and relays. My question is, do I have to use these wires and relays or can I just drop my tank and plug the dbl pump into my existing wires? I currently have a hot-wired Holley 255 lpm in the tank. Thanks, Lee

Hey Guys, Installing A Bov And Was Told I Could Tap Into The Fuel Press. Regulator Vac. Line. Is This My Best Option? Thanks, Lee

Hey guys, Gonna be dyno tuning the car next week and have some questions for those that have been there. I have a turbo tweek chip and a t-plus. With all the adjustability between the two, where sould i begin? Set the chip to "as sent" by eric and tune the t-plus first or vice versa...

Hey guys, Our local methanol source does not sell it any longer and so I was curious if E85 ethanol would be a good replacement? It has an octane level of aprox. 105. Would I be able to use it as a methanol injection replacement? Or is it too caustic for the system (smc single)? I will...

hey guys just some food for thought. i know this is probably better suited for the meth/alky forum, but i am hoping more people will read it here. i have two turbo cars, one w/ meth, the other w/o. since meth is mixed w/ gas and air upon injection and deters detonation, can i just run some...

LONG POST- ok, went to the track the other night. first run went smooth- .5* kr, 790mv,and egt-1480* boost @ 20 . so i turn up the boost and later make another run. car left way hard but at 1/2 track it seemed to fall flat. boost spiked about 25 and settled on 23 with all numbers beautiful o...
