Beat my previous best time last night of 8.67 with a 8.49 and 2.10 60ft! Only major change was comp 980 valve springs and a new set of plugs. Im surprised they made that big of a difference. Car has stock turbo/intercooler, stock long block, stock converter/trans, ~21 psi boost, 5.6 TT alky...

Just like the title says I just saw the commercial for the new turbo Regal from Buick. Im glad to see Buick is getting a performance luxury sedan like other luxury auto makers have already been making. Kinda wish they would have called it the a Grand National though:rolleyes:. And added some of...

I did a search and couldn't really find what I was looking for so here we go. The car will not make over 15 psi boost no matter where the boost controller is set, and has a random cylinder misfire while under boost. When it misfires it will sometimes cause knock and sometimes it may not. I have...

Today I upgraded my stock injectors to new mototron 60lbs units and a new Turbo Tweak alky chip. I also swapped out my tired magnivox system for a new type II ignition system. Got everything back together and finally got the car to start after figuring out the new wiring order on the coils. Took...

I did a search and couldnt really find anything on what im looking for. I was told that the stock oil pump ws fine for a stock engine but once you start to up the boost it is suggested to upgrade the oil pump to a high volume unit on our cars. The person said that the mains and the cam bearings...

Just wondering how often I should be servicing my tranny to keep it alive and well. Thanks

when i remove the vacuum line on the top of my fuel pressure regulator the fuel pressure usually only goes up like bearly 2psi. is that normal or should it go up more than that. also, it takes it a little while for the fuel psi to rise once i take the line off. shouldnt it rise as soon as i take...

Has anyone ever had this happen to there car? When you floor the car it doesnt build no more than 6-7 psi and while in boost it sounds like the turbo is shuttering or fluttering. Sometimes the car will just fall flat on its face once you get into boost. The motor will just want to choke down...
