Anyone going to the B.O.P. meet in Bremerton this weekend?

Those who have installed a larger radiator that wouldn't fit under the original mount plate on top what did you use to secure yours? Looking for some ideas, my new one is only about 2.5 inches thick but its that thick at the top and the stock hold down plate will not fit over it.

For sale new F-body radiator and two fans for sale. My intecooler pipe to T/B hits the fans, because it's a twin turbo. Mounted and had filled with water then removed. $140.00 shipped. Shipping is about $35.00 and is included in price. Thanks

The linelock will hold for about 15 seconds then releases. I assume this indicates leaking inside the unit. Is there a solution other then replacement? Thanks

Why would the upper hose from motor to radiator collapse? I then release the pressure by turning the cap and the hose returnes to normal? The lower hose does not collapse.

What are the V8 guys using for radiators to cool their cars. I am having issues with my cooling system. Just installed the F body unit with 2 fans and its not doing the job. I am positive it's a combo of air flow and Radiator problem. I had the 4 tube stock unit in it before the single row f...

Trying to solve an air flow problem. I have a thick older intercooler, 12 years old, and a stock radiator. The older twin fan setup on the radiator ( pusher) is not doing the job. There are fans out there that will flow 6000 cfm from Flex a lite. My question is would it be better to mount the...

Swaybar collar for anyone with an HRpartsNstuff Swaybar that had to put the axle mounting brackets in a place other than wide/narrow as possible. If somewhere in-between, it will still perform fine, but the bar will slide side to side & reduce handling performance. These collars simply bolt...

I know this feat has been talked about many times, but I had never seen the actual video of the race. If it has been on here and I missed it, then here is a repeat. It never gets old. YouTube - buick pro stock

Turbo v8 guys,how do you determine a safe boost at the track without a knock detector, for different octane gas? If you know what HP you make on an engine dyno, and your not set up with a knock detector how do you come to know what's safe? Can one assume 10 lbs is safe on 90 octane or 100...

I want to remove my intake and I have a motec and distributor. Is the Distributor just used as a trigger? Do I just make sure I replace the Distributor and rotor in the exact same position on reassembly then fire it up. This is a Turbo s/b in a GN Thanks

I saw a silver turbo regal heading towards the race track last night in Auburn. Was that Dennis's new regal he got from geno? It didnt have a license yet so I assumed.

I am close to going to the track and am curious about valve springs. My car had been run very little over a 10 year period. Since being built 10 years ago the car has about 500 miles regular drivng and maybe 50 partial and few complete passes both 1/4 and 1/8 mile. Many passes were aborted for...

I am trying to determine if my engine has a vacume leak. I can hear a loud whistle at idle. I have tried the smoke machines the stethoscope with no luck in finding it. I put a vacume guage on the engine and at idle I have 10-13 lbs vacume. I do notice when the whistle gets louder the vacume will...

I have a dyno print out for my engine. The computer was set for a max of 17 lbs boost. At 10 lbs boost and 5600 rpm the engine made 691 hp and 737 lbs torque. The motor made its max hp at 7100 rpm and the 17 lbs boost it was set at. My question is if I set the boost to a max of 10 lbs and run...

Has anyone raced a high HP car with a low stall converter? I am curious how it worked out. I am talking 1000 hp available and a stall of 2400 or less. If one isn't concerned with the lowest ET but wants a nice run can it be done with any consistency? The plan is to launch against the t-brake at...

I am getting close to racing a car I am restoring. The car was built by someone who likes to use Motec in his cars. I notice their is no O2 sensors installed. The car is set up to run a max of 17 lbs in the Motec. Does this mean there is no feature that will add or subtract fuel when running the...

I installed a anti sway bar and noticed the bar was sliding to one side after driving a short distance. The bar moved a couple inches to the drivers side. I did not run the car hard just some slow driving. Any idea what this indicates? I did notice the car is about 3/4 inch higher on the...

Has anyone installed an electric heater in their Buick? I remember seeing someone in the process but never saw the results. Would be nice for defrosters some evenings on a car with everything removed
