Pikes Peak International Raceway in Fountain, CO is running 1/8 mile races on pit row this weekend. Just wondering if anyone on here is going. Would like to see some Buick Turbo V6 power out there.

I work with a guy who is trying to convince me to give up my car and buy an Evo 8/9. He basically claims that the money/power ratio for mods on an Evo beats anything out there. Is there anyone on here that owns or has owned both an Evo and a Turbo Buick, and can tell me their experience?

Just FYI: walmart.com has NT555R's-about a week out site-to-store. I bought 2 275/50/15's for $158 each+tax & disposal.

I have 2 sets (12) of blue tops. I had 6 that wouldn't start the car(7 year old gas). I drained the tank, filled with 8 gallons of premium and 8oz of seafoam. Flushed the lines and fuel rail. Car would not start. Getting power to injectors: 3 out of 6 were not clicking. Decided to buy a used set...

Any TR owners in Colorado Springs on here? I'm looking for 93 octane fuel to get my 87 running again. 91 octane is the highest I've seen. Does the altitude here allow for lower octane? If so, then I'll just throw a few gallons of 91. Any help is appreciated.

Far More Ringer than Regal We test a Buick Regal Grand National that weighs 3520 pounds, is shaped like a dishwasher, and makes an advertised 235 horsepower. Somehow, the car blasts to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds-quicker than the just-tested Countach. We ask Buick what the car's actual, you...

I've been trying to find someone who has had shoulder surgery to get an idea of results and recovery time. Some doctors tell me to avoid surgery, while others tell me to stop putting it off. I have impingement syndrome in both shoulders, which started as a muscle strain injury in my right...

For those of us who own a Turbobuick(for fun) and an import(for the daily grind). I was looking into putting together a early 90's Civic with a JDM twincam setup to replace my Geo Prizm. It would be cheap, reliable, quick, and there's a huge aftermarket for these setups. Well, while shopping...

I posted in the turbo section a couple of weeks ago about my boost creep problem. I think I might have figured out the cause. My lifters/valvetrain have been getting noisier as time goes on. I've also noticed that my transmission(so I thought)was having trouble upshifting at full throttle. I...

I just had one of those "I wish I was driving the Buick" moments. I was driving my Geo Prizm(no mods, never)on the 5 mile stretch of twisty roads that leads to my house when I came upon this late model Grand Am doing 50 or so (slowing to 35 in the turns). Anyway, with no cars in the way, I'll...

I was watching some of the 24 hour race yesterday and noticed the announcers mention that one or more of the racecars were powered by Pontiac engines. So is the Pontiac division building their own engines? If so, then why wouldn't Buick step up and build their own?

OK, which is stronger, as far as horsepower and torque limits: a two bolt LT1(93-97 F-body) or LC2(86-87)-stock block, crank, rods, etc.?

I just wanted to share a question from a young acquaintance of mine:" your the guy that drives that bad-ass Oldsmobile around town, right?" Not Monte Carlo, not Grand Prix. Something about my car reminds a lot of people I know of a Cutlass, Hurst/Olds, or 442. Once I break into the 11's, I...

My 87 T is overboosting. I need to know which components to inspect and what to look for. I would like to know the most likely suspect parts to check 1st. It's probably something simple, but I haven't tried anything other than adjusting the actuator rod out, and that just helps for a while...

I'm going to install a set of Champion ported irons and was wondering if there is anyone who ports the oem intake who will leave the egr passage in place? Also, how much of a restriction would an unported intake be with ported heads? I also have a stock unported throttle body with a power...

Anyone notice that their body isn't sitting in the middle of the frame on our cars? I got out a ruler and measured from the top of the tire to the outside of the fender and noticed that my right front and left rear wheels stick out further than the other two(about 1/2 inch). I got up...

I'm upgrading next year to ported irons (MaxFlo) and ported stock intake. A little background first: 87 Ltd Turbo T 101k miles completely stock motor w/following bolt-ons: TE63, Cartek FM, Bigmouth Cold Air Kit, Stock Power Plate, Blue Tops, THDP, Hooker Cat-back, custom street chip, TCI trans...

Has anyone here tried the TCC lockup delay harness from Hurst (or one like it) ? If so, where did you get it and what effect did it have on the way the converter locked up?

I'm going to run my 87 T-Type tomorrow at Kennedale. I have about 1/8 of a tank and plan on adding 5-10 gals. of race fuel at the track. How long should I run it to purge the pure pump gas already in the lines and fuel rail?
