    HotAir-868s-49w/63-87emc-2800 stall, what chip?

    I need to spool this thing, any suggestions. I want to keep the 868's for now and would like some of the drivability back I lost when I swapped a 33 for the 49. I currently have Thrasher street & race. I can only build about 3-4 psi against the brakes, and I hate to lean it up any, do to...

    Do The Ecm Swap Now!!!

    Read the title then commit it to memory...then spend the $ and do it. After 7 years of fighting poor driveabilty including (all 84-5 ecm users will know this well) stumble at tip in, missing, rich at idle-lean WOT, and overall crappy performance, it's gone. Almost like a magic elf came along...

    Spring Plans

    Since buying the TY I've let my GN wither away to 2nd fiddle and with the help of Nocooler I've got some motivation to make it run stronger than before but still hot-air. (All of this is possible due to the fact that I'm leaving the TY stock, therefore $ and time can go into the GN.) ((Oh and...

    Lost to a 5.0 spraying 125

    Mid Mi Motorplex weds. night test-and tune, I get next to a 90's LX notch painted like it should be Captian America's. I hear him purge as I stage building boost (cat no muff ) second yellow....10 psi against the brakes GO. A little spin (ends up being a 1.8 60) and I leave him hard, but...

    Hey BFH hows the BFH coming along?

    It seems that after it broke and you got the "choke" Vette we haven't heard much on the BFH front. I don't cruise General Tech much so maybe you're getting things done over there but I'm wondering what's going on. Oh BTW I saw your post on in the Lounge on the Motorhome and knew it was you...

    Update

    I think I may have sorted out some of my no low end boost issues and I'm shooting for a trip to the track tomm. After changing the elbow (kudos to Nocooler) it got better and then tighting up the collector (Duh dumb ass me!) I have all kinds of low end boost again. This is a problem I have...

    SMC on a Hot-Air VERY good results.

    OTHRWMN installed the SMC kit on my car and 20-21 psi on pump fuel is just killer. The install is sweet with the control box in the ashtray and the Power Injection and Low fuel lights working. Anyone ordering one should skip the 12" line that comes with it unless they are going to mount the...

    1st impressions V3

    BADASS!!!! Running very rich it pulls hard, after gettting out of the Caprice and then driving it it still feels like it's pulling hard. Tommorrow is tune it with the new intake and Alky, then off to the track Sun. with Nocooler and OTHRWMN and mine to see some #'s. I'll check back Sun p.m.

    Nitrous and Alky?

    Is there any reason I can't run alky and a 50 shot together? My SMC kit will ship Fri, and I would like to run both for about 20 psi on pump fuel with the 50 shot coming in with a TPS sensor at WOT. It would be a wet kit that I can spray AFTER the turbo thanks to the V3 intake. I'm...

    V3!!!!

    UPS brought Christmas to me today. The V3 and my turbo back from PTE. I'll drop it all off to the Mech. tomm. and hopefully be running by Weds. The V3 looks badass I'll post a pic soon and also of one with it on the car. It will be a head turner for sure at any Buick gathering...

    Turbomotion

    I'll try to keep this short. In June I decide I'm too lazy to tune my car any faster so parts are the way to go. After days of debating between the easily affordable V1 or the no summer vacation priced V2 (Not unreasonable for what you get just more than I had when the speed bug hit) I...

    Drew-Jay anybody..help me with this V1

    I'm about to give up on this car. This spring it went the time in the sig. Over and over and over. Now it goes 13.9 -14.0 over and over. It will not build any boost at the line. 3-4 pds. if I sit long enough and it comes up real lazy when going down the road. 22 pds. on 100 ll...

    Congrats BFH!!

    Hey I just got the Nov. GMHTP and I see Buick From Hell Products credited for the "super detailed interior panels" in Rick Elam bad ass white T. It seems weird to see BFH in print......should bring a whole bunch more business your way from people that aren't on this board. When you hit it...

    Almost done!!!!!!

    The V1's on and the ATR downpipe is here....still waiting on PTE to get my turbo back and then it's off to the track. The mech called yesterday and told me there was 3 vac lines off laying near the drivers side valve cover...anyone have a clue what these could be for? The EGR and wastegate...
