    Harland sharp ratio?

    I’m putting an engine back together and was setting the preload on the lifters. I have Harland sharp rockers and I found a couple of the adjusters difficult to turn, so I backed them out and found the adjusting screw has broken on a couple of the arms. I see on Harland sharp’s website that I can...

    Excited to be getting a new intercooler from RJC

    You can see most of my upgrades in my signature. Anyway, when I ordered the new intercooler from Jason, I let him know what mods I have done and even with all my upgrades, I am still running a stock intercooler with a duttweiller neck. Well Jason told me to expect an increase of 70-100 HP just...

    Different valve body on my 200r4

    I have a transmission built by art carr that I got from them 18 years ago. It has held up really well, still shifts great, have done fluid and filter changes more often than I need. Anyway, last year I put a powerlogger onto my ECM and started tuning, but noticed that the logger is showing 3rd...

    Installing new TR6 module question

    Very nice setup. I have a quick question though. There are two longer wires coming off the TR6 harness. I know that the orange wire is for the two step trigger, but what is the longer black wire for? It does not say in the directions. I'm sure some others know. Thanks Matt

    New problem

    well, now I just had to change things. I just installed the GN1 4 inch mafless pipe because I really like how the air filter is out of the way of the AC lines. I also moved the LS1 maf to the up pipe. Where I had great BLM's before, I now have low BLM's (115) so now because the maf is...

    Anybody up for group reservation for the gm heritage center?

    I was thinking during the Woodward dream cruise week leading up to Saturday event. I know that we have a group that meets on Woodward across from the moose preserve. I was looking and saw that they need a minimum of 30 people to reserve a visit to the GM Heritage center and it's only 10 dollars...

    This thing smokes under full boost only

    i did not know I had a problem until I decided to go to the track for fun. Well, my gn smokes, but only on full throttle and held for three to four seconds, then it just smokes until I let off. Does not smoke at idle, or driving, it does not smoke under full boost if done for less than four...

    Advise on buying another GN

    My wife and I are pondering purchasing another Buick GN. We already own a 1986, but a good friend of ours is moving and wants to sell his 1986 GN. I've known this car for a lot of years, it is in beautiful shape and is completely stock. It has 27,000 miles on it. Nothing done except maintenance...

    A comparison between Woodward and Flints Back to the bricks for a GN owner.

    My wife and I have gone to Woodward Dream cruise for the last several years, but we were thinking of participating in Flints B2B. We don't care for the cut throat style of obtaining a spot for the day and don't care for paying a huge amount of money for a spot. How is Back to the Bricks? I'm...

    Blew up engine last night.

    Well, I thought that maybe the stock bottom end would hold up until winter, but apparently not. Was driving and went to pass a vehicle and stood on it and poof, all the sudden a dead cylinder and lots of smoke. Smoke is being pushed out of the breather, so along with a dead miss, I assume a...

    Trouble tuning

    well, having a little trouble tuning. Pops at wot and sometimes part throttle. New plugs r42s, good wires, coil, etc. have used the translator to richen and lean fuel. Scan master recall shows around 780-820mv sometimes no kr, and sometimes it might show 45 degrees kr. No exhaust leaks. Just...

    Looking for a good downpipe in the southwest michigan/michiana area.

    Hello, just got the GN out and running well, but I still have the stock DP and elbow on it. Small puck does not cover the ported wastegate hole very well. So just thought I would put this out and see if I get any hits. Would love to find one this weekend if possible. Thank you Matt McClung

    Upgraded turbo from 49 to a 63

    Just upgraded turbo and the gn is running great. I now have more lag than I did before, which I expected. I have a duttweiller necked intercooler, and I mildly ported the heads and port matched the intake. I still have the stock downpipe and elbow, I was thinking of getting a three inch downpipe...
