    Are Roush Mustangs Fast?

    Roush Mustang info... follow this link to an explanation of the Roush Mustang packages and stats: http://www.fnsweet.com/about/packages.shtml I looked this stuff up after racing a Roush Mustang a few weeks ago. I believe what I raced was a V8 Stage 2 (no supercharger). It had the body...

    Whats makes the GN/Buick T-type trannys different from any other 200-4R?

    '87 BRF variation as I understand it, sometime about mid-'86 they started putting the 10-vane pumps in the BRF's instead of the 7-vane pumps.

    Trans builders.....need quick atf advice

    transmission fluid poll The results of the poll are interesting and pretty consistant with what I hear from talking to local guys here in Dallas. Unfortunately, it looks like only ten people voted. I'd like to see the results of more participants and I also like to add tractor fluid and Red...

    tranny shifting question, is the trans cooler clogged?

    I just replaced the radiator in my '87 GN. I had a local radiator shop install a new core and reuse my original tanks. I installed the radiator last night and took the GN for a test drive this morning. Everything was fine until I started flogging on it a little. Now my transmission is not...

    Car unhappy w/ Thrasher. Ideas?

    Razor, I'm not sure if your reply was a response to my post or the original post in this thread. As for me, like I said in my post, all the other chips I've tried and use on a regular basis work fine. I have an early ATR chip and an old Hypertech chip and even they work fine. They don't...

    Car unhappy w/ Thrasher. Ideas?

    Thrasher chips my '87 GN has the same problems with the Thrasher chips. I've purhased more than one and they all do the same thing. I've spent many hours trying to diagnose the problem without success. All the other chips I've tried work fine. That having been said, I have to give credit...

    Help!! Won't Pass Smog!!!

    I understand what you're saying. That's one good thing that came out of hours of tuning, tweaking and multiple emission dyno runs - I now have a much better understanding of what pollutants are caused by. And how tuning changes affect the combustion process. As for the condition of the...

    Help!! Won't Pass Smog!!!

    I also failed emissions test, need help. my '87 GN also failed the Texas emissions test today. Actually, it failed about 6 times. - I was able to make adjustments to the car and keep trying it. The car has 21k orig. miles and no cat. I did all the usual things to prepare for an emissions...

    z-28 makes me feel bad

    >>"ive never seen a ls-1 run in the 12's without expensive mods"<< hmm...well, it may be an elevation issue, but around here (Dallas, TX) LS1 powered F-bodies are capable of low 13' and high 12's off the showroom floor (with good tires of course). I've seen it many times. "expensive mods"...

    z-28 makes me feel bad

    I think you are correct there, cars with extensive mods are harder to sell, that seems to be the case with any car. I understand what you are saying. I guess it's a matter of what you want and like. I've recently thought about selling my GN and building up a really nasty 455 and sticking it...

    z-28 makes me feel bad

    sorry this is so long... Brittken, I'm following the same approach with my '87 GN. I bought the car with 16, 500 orig. miles and it now has a little over 21k miles. I haven't done anything to the car yet that I couldn't "undo" and return the car to showroom stock. Now, that doesn't mean I...

    Does anyone know if Goodyear makes a set of the blue "high miler" hoses for TR's?

    :confused: hmm...ok. I'm not sure what happened with Conley's, I *know* they used to offer them. Their website had a picture of one of their cars with the blue Hi-Miler hoses installed on it. Looked awsome! Here, try this... Poston's Buick Parts - 251-368-8577 The blue hose kits...
