I used to have Hooker headers on my old GN. Ran 10.70s with them. No complaints as far as street driving. Didn't like the design of the pipe that the turbine housing bolts to, though. Had a tendency to work itself loose over time. I had to add a support bracket to keep things in their place. At...

Big wheelies break stuff. Trust me.

Front mount in my T. Never saw my engine temp go above 180*. It's usually between 165* and 178*.

Thanks, Russ!:cool: Think I may go ahead and swap the 275s over to my stock T wheels. The Weld Drag Stars are just a bit too "showy".

Russ, do you have pics of the MTs mounted on your car?

Been in the 10s through my Hooker cat-back exhaust.

I currently have my drag radials on a set of Weld Drag Stars but would like to stick them on my stock T wheels for a stealthier look. Has anyone tried it? Any rubbing?

Chances are a shop won't just clear the car. The paint is so thin on these cars the second they sand it to prep it for paint they will blow right through the paint. It will have to be repainted. You get what you pay for when it comes to paint work. Price will vary from shop to shop and on how...

Any and all headers may or may not need modification for installation. Every car is different and every set of headers can be slightly different (regardless who built them) which leads to minor mods required for them to fit. If you don't want to modify something in order to make it fit, your...

Same headers Turbo Regal Custom Parts sells. They are a Kenne Bell copy. Here is my review of them... http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech/274267-tr-custom-parts-stainless-headers-3-downpipe-46mm-gate.html

Stick a PSI screw blower on it. Done deal!:D

I have Turbo Regal Custom Parts headers (Kenne Bell headers basically) as well as their 3" downpipe and a Hooker cat-back. No drone. Very quiet combo. I've been 10s with the Hooker cat-back and the stock headers. Haven't been to the track with the TRCP heads and DP yet.

Not a darn thing wrong with the TA-49! I loved mine. Should have never gotten rid of it!:mad:

When I ran my old GN as a dedicated race car, I vented the gate straight down. That said, I have been 10s with the gate routed back into the exhaust. Since my T is a street car, I prefer it quiet so the gate is routed back into the downpipe. I like having a whisper quiet 10 second street car...

I never liked the sound of an open wastegate on a street car. It makes an otherwise quiet turbo car sound obnoxious. Stealth goes right out the window. Plus, since the exhaust coming out of the gate is pre-turbo, it sounds like an open exhaust V6. Not the most appealing sound. My .02.

Ordered an LS1 3.5" MAF, 4" to 3.5" reducer (I have a 4" MAF pipe) and a 3.5" K&N conical filter. Assuming my rich condition is from the reman 3" MAF, this should fix the problem. If the MAF isn't the issue, the 3.5" MAF is a better match to my combo anyway. Going to take a closer look at the...

Another happy Reher-Morrison customer.:cool:

I think it may be time to step up to an LS1 3.5" MAF. Even if that's not where my rich condition is coming from, a 3.5" MAF would be better for my combo than the smaller factory 3".

MAF is a reman GM unit. I had originally thought the MAF was the cause, too. I was getting a MAF code so I bought a "new" reman MAF. Rich condition continues. Of course that doesn't mean the reman MAF is actually good...:mad:
