    First time on the dyno with the Buick!

    I've been wanting to dyno the 86 GN and get an idea of where the peak power was and how far I could push this old TA60 Turbo and where it stopped making power. So I paid a visit to the dyno on Friday and I was pleased with how it did. Mods are in my sig. This was on E85, which I confirmed the...

    Looking for slip yoke options

    What options do we have for a high strength 2004r slip yoke for the stock u-joint size? I picked up a 3.5 steel drive shaft locally last year and had new u-joints(stock size) and a Neapco slip yoke installed. I only have a handful of passes on it and the times are in my sig. 60ft in the...

    Had me a track night

    I told myself when I got this car it was going to be a cruiser and didn't plan to race it, well so much for that, I went to the track a few weeks ago on a whim and had a great time. I wasn't satisified so I went again this past Friday and had a great time again so I thought I'd share. I drove...

    WTB: BRF Trans Core in the Midwest

    Wanted to throw this out there before I removed my trans for rebuild. I'd like to find a re-buildable BRF to send out so I can keep my current trans in the car and keep driving it to reduce down time. I'm located in Iowa and am willing to drive 4-6 hours if needed. BRF cores only at this point.

    Powerlogger cable - tips or slick way to route?

    So I've been driving the car a lot and when I'm by myself I have the laptop in the passengers seat and have been using the powerlogger a lot to monitor/log and watch for issues. The USB cable running from the powerlogger to the laptop plugs in through one of the factory openings in the plastic...

    Boost Control Issue - need direction on next step

    OK, I'm going to try an not make this any longer than needed but want to layout my current issue and what I've done so far. My goals are to put Alky on the car this summer, but for the time being (until I get this boost under control) I'm running 93 octane + 1L of VP Octanium per 10 gal of gas...

    Who sells this gauge pod? Not crazy for the 3 pod A pillar style.

    I'm in the middle of updating and adding gauges. The car had oil pressure, coolant temp (both mounted in a center console pod) and a boost gauge (mounted on the a pillar in a single pod) when I purchased it. I didn't like the oil pressure gauge because it had graduations up to 240 psi and was...
