Well all in all I was pretty happy with how it went. I thought it would be alot worse since my trans is none too happy and I could definetly use a new chip and converter.

My other run came out to 13.575 @ 106.73 and a 2.4 60 foot. And I was going 179.71 in the 1/8th, the slip says so I can prove it!

My next mods were going to be rebuilt trans, 3k stall, 60 lb injectors, new chip, alcohol injection. Hopefully i'm heading in the right direction. Any other suggestions greatly appreciated. I'm as new as they come to turbo Buicks.

I've linked your thread to the TTA FAQ List

Car is pulling great on the top but totally dead on the bottom. Look your getting a 25 MPH increase from 1/8 to 1/4.

Your turbo is way too big for your converter. You'd be a second faster with a stock turbo.

Get the tranny fixed, a 3200+ converter with lockup, some slicks.. 12.0's easy. No less converter or you'll be back to square one. You'll run the number on alcohol or race gas.

Actually mid-high 11's is where it will be with a little tuning.

I think your springs are OK. It did pickup 25.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback!

Yeah the turbo was completely unplanned for really. I pulled it to clean it up while I was doing the gas tank and discovered that it was dumping tons of oil and the shaft was wobbling bad. And you are very right Razor since the thing doesn't even spool till around 3000 rpm. After it does though its one hell of a ride.

Also going to want to pick up one of your kits as well.

I'm thinking about doing the springs too, just in case ya know.

And on another side note i'm working on a nice custom intercooler while i've got the spare time and while i've got an 88 GTA parts car to test fit things on. I know the stock intercooler should do great, so i'm not worried about it, but sooner or later i'll be at the point of upgrading I know.
