Took my car to the track today; it was test and tune. I have to say my Buick performed real well for me. It ran an 11.987 and I have the time slip to prove that. I may have cheated to some; I had slick, a .63 nitrous jet, C-16 Fuel, real high boost (20), fiberglass bumpers, my custom home made fiberglass hood (needed it for the nitrous plate to fit) and I took the passenger seat out (it was only 4 bolts so why not) o I also used alky cant forget that. I love how nitrous and a 301 turbo work together. I was only able to get one pass in because I was told I needed more safety equipment.

Cool! So 12's on a nearly full weight C/T car is possible. Im curious where it would be at 15 PSI and no nitrous. 13.50's?
Im not even sure how much a .63 jet is, is that a light tickle or a definite power boost?
Good to know that its possible on the stock intake. What head work do you have? Ported or anything?

.63 is a big boost of power. its not a small shot at all. Actually, I don’t have a stock intake I ported the intake my self. I also ported the heads a while back when I built the engine.

Nice run.
.63 is a pretty big shot, I think I am running a .42. Nice to know there is some more in the stock type setup. I was curious how the 301 turbo would perform as well.

Well it'll get bigger, and there's even less that are the original HA drawthrough cars.:biggrin:

you guys are hard core .. Everything takes twice the time effort & money .. Not for the weak hearted .. 78 turbo coupe has come along way .. But its been a long time coming .. I love the cars . In my book better than a new camaro ..

Time, yes. Effort, yes. Money, not really. The key is the research and understanding how to make it work better.:biggrin: Things for the earliest cars aren't exacly bolt on after all.
