Fellow Buick Lovers, I've been away from the board for a while, (sold my GN due to a military move), anyway, what ever happened to Keith Mease? I remember he used to make downpipes and intercoolers. Is he still in business? - Tom

Guys, If I'm running a 2 1/4" exhaust with generic turbo mufflers is there a big advantage to going to the Hooker 2.5" catback system? The 2 1/4" pipes are NOT mandrel bent they are compression bent, the Hooker 2.5" system IS mandrel bent. Sorry, I know plenty of people who endorse the ATR...

Would anyone happen to have a pair of 15x8 draglites in good shape to sell? I believe I'm lookin for 3.5" BS if that's what our cars take. Shoot me an e-mail if anyone has any available. Thanks - FAB6

Guys, I've searched and searched on this and there are too many answers that don't agree! I'm going to be running 215-65-15's on the front, and Nitto 275-60-15's on the rear. But I need to know which backspacing to get for the Draglites? I was running 275-50-15 BFG DR's with my stock rims for a...

Guys, Can anyone tell me the part numbers for sure for Weld DL's for our cars. I'm lookin for 15x7 for the front and 15x8 for the rear. I think the Summit part numbers are: Rears: WLD-90-57348 Fronts: WLD-90-58348 Are those right? They are 4.5" BS on the fronts and the rears. Thanks - FAB6

Guys, I dug out from an old post that the Purolator part number F65364 fuel filter is good to go for filtering alky. Has anyone had any trouble out of one of those yet? I was just wondering before I go buy one. I plan on using it between the tank and the pump, not between the pump and the...

O.K. You got Mease, you got Cottons, (IC and a half), you got CAS, (if you can find em), and you got Thunder Fab. Which one is going to give you dollar for dollar more for your money? O.K. I plunk down $900 for a Mease, when the Thunder Fab is only $670, am I going to run SO MUCH FASTER with the...

Guys, Are any of you guys using the Thunder Fab I/C? Are you happy with them? Any info is much appreciated. - FAB6

Guys, I've been told that there are some companies that sell the Mease IC, which ones are they? - FAB6

I recently had my TPS go hay-wire and read 2.5 volts at idle and all the way through the throttle range, so I ordered a new one from Postons. After running it for a few days I noticed some bad drivability and a CE light. Direct Scan showed that my TPS was reading .42 volts at idle, but after a...

Well, I probably blew a head gasket over this, but if so, I'll just rebuild stronger. Anyway, I was down at brandenton at the quarter mile for Thursday night test and tune. My first run I did a 12.70@106, (Zero boost launch, can't hold any boost on the line). So I figured I would bump the timing...

Well, it all started last night. I blew the small hoses off the side of the vacuum block on the 1/4 mile. Now the car idles at 2000 rpm and runs wierd. I really can't put my finger on the wierd part. Just for fun I changed the o2 sensor, it didn't help. I check the ECM but no codes. Any...

Guys, I’ve got a question concerning high boost levels. I’m running a JC PT-52 and my extender chip is programmed for 19# of boost in 1st and 2nd, and 17# for 3rd and 4th. Well, at least that’s what I requested on my chip. I’ve noticed that my spool up with the 52 was slower than my old turbo...

Hi Guys, Is there a good "starter" nitrous kit for our cars that everyone seems to start out with, or end up buying? I don't have a lot of experience with the stuff and I'm wondering if there's a 75 shot for dummies that you just can't go wrong with? - T

Guys, Speaking in the realm of boosting performance outside of the turbo, injectors, chip, and outside of the motor, where do we go? Would the vote go to: Headers? Throttle Body? Plenum? The headers are probably the most dollars, but which would give the most "bang for the buck"? - T

Hey Guys, I've got a T+ with Extender chip, I was wondering, what do most people do as far as timing? Do they advance the timing above 3500 or retard it? Can anyone offer up some good timing advice on the Extender chip? Thanks - Tman

OK, I've got the smaller stuff all installed, injectors, IC, Fuel Pump, suspension is ready, time for a new turbo. Now, which one? I want to get a turbo that I'll be pleased with for at least 2 years cause my wife is already gonna kill me anyway, so it's better that I dont get another one for a...

Guys, If your A/C system is losing R134 will your car run hotter? Or will it affect your coolant temps at all? Thanks - T

Well, I'm not having any luck! I'm looking for a wheel spacer that is 1/4 inch think, aluminum, and is cut in the EXACT bolt pattern of our cars, 5 on 4.75. I've tryed NASCAR supply shops, Summit Racing, Race car parts wholesale, the list goes on and on. Does anyone know of a source to get these...

Guys, I got a piece of advice that I might need a Brake Proportioning Valve to hold more boost on the line. I've already got the Kirban soft shoes on the car, and had the drums turned, but I can only hold 1 or 2 pounds at best on the line. So, if I get a valve which one? JC Whitney has them for...
