    Buick 1 German junk 0

    you've gotta watch some of those German junkers, they can be seriously fast- especially be careful with RS3/RS7 Audis, from a dig and on the street they'll hurt some feelings.

    Car is back from Steve V and it's miles better overall - Had mild trans work (did what he calls 11.50 Build) with an XHD 12" Stock TC with ≈ 2700 stall speed. He also installed 3"DP w/Test Pipe, LT1 MAF w/Translator & a trans cooler. Car runs noticeably stronger with all else being the same...

    Spoke with Steve V and we've planned to get the car to him in June for the transmission work to be done.

    I've gotten my boost and fuel pressures adjusted properly without any KR at roughly 15/16 psi on the gauge, but now when I launch the car it's flaring on the 1-2 shift. This is a very low mileage car that was kept completely stock by the original owner whose spouse sold it after he passed away...

    I have a Kirban AFPR set to 43 PSI now _ I've not considered the MAF to this point but I will ask Bison about it- to this point the 2 items next for consideration is the TC and a 3" DP from RJC but I do want to do some more tweaking first.

    ya- I should have mentioned I've dialed the boost back and will be installing my MBC so I can fine tune the boost levels better. I need to clear a code we caused when checking for a misfire issue as well then test driving the car for further analysis. Thanks!

    so all my upgrades previously mentioned are in and the car is ok but not quite what I expected, I've set the AWGA to 16psi for now but I'm getting some KR. The part that I'm a little surprised by is the car just won't turn the tires over and is kind dead from a dig, once it spools up it pulls...

    have been researching more deeply and it seems I may wreck my stock trans with these mods I'm doing, any thoughts? If so then what should I be looking for as an upgrade?

    thank you, there is for sure a lot to learn and as I was warned by a forum member "if you ask 10 people a question you'll likely get 12 different opinions" :). My main goal is to look as stock as possible, have a 12 sec capable car and be able to replace the stock parts if needed without a...

    I did call Bison and he suggested the TA49 which he'll have available to ship on Friday, everything else seems routine.

    Thanks for the input! My goal is a 12 sec street trim car, I had someone mention that what a package may do in race trim will be diff than what it would do on the street, meaning it can could do 12's with "X" mods but on sticky tires, bags, hard launch etc... but that would be different than...

    I think that ATR document was just promotional, I’m not sure the car has any of those items on it currently - so now I need to figure out where so start - prob the stat and chip?

    That's very helpful, thanks a lot Patrick. Agreed, modding is addictive so I hope I can resist the temptation for a while :)
