    How fast is my Buick?

    oh, mid 9's at least.........at least until you hit the track

    Boost cant be lowered

    disconnect the wastegate arm from the puck.....you should have maybe 5 lbs of boost then start looking for what is wrong

    Another...What should it run ?

    bigger turbo, transbrake and 1.4x 60' times "may" get you mid-high 10's low 10's is a whloe 'nother bag of worms...... you'll need race gas and timing to go much farther than low 11's.....even Razor just barely gets into 10's with alky and TTA I would ignore those who haven't "been...

    torque convertor too loose?

    turn it up! shift it at 6500 min......think you'll like it! (launch it harder too....I typically leave at 15 lbs.......)

    Boost cant be lowered

    something is hooked up wrong/not working right as suggested, take off the RJC then connect wastegate to compressor with the gate loose.....this should lower the boost a non ported wastegate hole usually results in a spike, not uncontrolled boost

    torque convertor too loose?

    my car with the "N" stall Art Carr shows 6100 at 128 also (however, my et's are 10.4-10.5 at that speed).......if your launches are at least low 1.4x or better, converter is fine.....your shift points could also be raised to 6500-7000 no problem

    ready to turn up the boost?

    ASSuming you have the WB 02, it will correct the AF ratio for you as you increase boost......you can then go back into the VE tables and zero the correction you can use the stock knock detector with FAST......however, if you are running a "noisy" valve train, not much use.....egt is helpful also

    What size injectors are you running?

    83's.....duty cycle in the low 80's at 130

    11.96 on pump gas, what about race gas?

    that sure as hell isn't 800 hp........there is always an example of something that is difficult to do....that doesn't make it doable by everyone.....A GTQ is gonna make a bunch more power than a P trim

    11.96 on pump gas, what about race gas?

    take Red Regal T's advice....shoot for mid 11's and stay there...particularly if it is your only car.......you'll have plenty of downtime at that power level

    11.96 on pump gas, what about race gas?

    the so called "HP" ratings on turbos are BS....there is no PT67 that will make 800HP on a 3.8 litre motor......maybe on a 600 cu in V8, but I even sorta doubt that that size turbo is good for high 10's on a normal weight TR.....if everything else is up to the task...... (BTW, there is no...

    11.96 on pump gas, what about race gas?

    11.96 is a long way away from 10.x....... to run 10's you'll need 60' in the 1.5 range and speeds around 122 sooooo, trans brake launch on slicks, race gas, and 30 lbs of boost (with 26* of timing) or so should do it....you'll start to run out of fuel at those speeds, so put a double...

    Rear Sway bar for 1/4 mile

    I used the ATR and now the HR....my car 60's in the low 1.4's.....the difference between the two is dramatic......with the ATR, the car would twist a bunch and pull the drivers side wheel about three feet in the air....with the HR, no twist and would pull both front wheels just off the ground....

    want to upgrade turbo.....what are my choices?

    TE-45A....will be much harder on anything smaller

    what brand header is this?

    FYI, a "regular" THDP will NOT fit on ATR headers......they make one that will, but it is different

    60 ft times

    your combo is very commonly run into the mid-high 11's at high boost with good (low 1.6, high 1.5) 60' times.....this usually requires a trans brake, slicks, and race gas

    when to go with a taller tire?

    I agree you should be going faster.....run the boost and timing up (on straight race gas) and see what happens.... will the motor pull beyond 5200? If so, try 5500 or so.... maybe you got a flat cam? maybe somebody with a similar speed can advise what rpm they are getting? (possible...

    Anyone getting weird wear on the MT DRs?

    you have a spool? that's what mine look like (unless you never turn.....)

    How many miles w/ the MT ET Street Drag Radials

    even MT says these tires are not intended for the street....don't expect them to be useful there for long......I think 2-3000 would be the max.....I have about 500 on mine and they are 1/2 gone (but a bunch of drag strip runs) they are drag tires, plain & simple.....get Nittos if you want...

    when to go with a taller tire?

    you were within 1.5 mph of your previous best, right? Lousy weather can account for that on the other hand, you are leaving .5-.6 on the table with lousy 60' times i would try bumping the timing some more and running straight race gas.......you could use something else to tune with...
