    Dream Engine?

    stage 2 Buick Grand National 3.8 stroked to a 4.1 with a PT-88mm turbo with all the other amenities to compliment it. Can you say mid 8's. I don't think I'd want to go faster than that.

    Christmas Presents:Upper and Lower Contorl Arms

    I just received my Christmas presents which were UPR Pro-Series Upper and Lower Spherical Control Arms. I have a few questions. First off, this is a street car that sees the track once a month. Do I need the Spherical Uppers or is it a bad thing? Do I need sphericals period? Also, my dad...

    What type of suspension set-up?

    No problem, I'll let you know by Christmas. But I still don't quite get spring rates and what they have to do with everything. Is the less the spring rate up front the better? and the more in the rear? What's good for weight transfer forward?

    What type of suspension set-up?

    For Christmas I'm starting suspension mods. My first two priorities are UPR Pro-Series Adjustable Upper and Lower Control Arms. Next, I would like to get some shocks/struts and some springs. But I'm not sure if I should go with Tokico Adjustables, Strange Adjustables, Mach 1's, Bullits? Also...

    How can I adjust my accelerator pedal?

    How do you adjust the accelerator pedal? It sits too low and loose. I want to raise it up and give it more firmness becaus it's driving me crazy having my foot rub against the carpet on the side.

    Gotta Buy Drag Radials For The Track....

    I'm running Khumo 712 street tires. I only give them a 2-3 second burnout just to get all the rocks and stuff off. The psi I run is 25. I don't burn them to hell because I hear with a street radial you actually lose traction so I just clean them off.

    Gotta Buy Drag Radials For The Track....

    I know. It's so much easier on the street. But I've tried mashing (which gives the worst), giving throttle in a uniform fashion, giving a tiny bit of throttle until the squealing goes away and then mashing, etc. I mean, Idk what else to try.

    Gas Mileage

    Well I drive 100 % city with a few WOT's along the way and get 15-16 mpg. However, when I do drive on the highway like to Palmdale raceway which is almost 2hrs away, I get like 18.9, but I'm also driving at 85-90 mph.

    Gotta Buy Drag Radials For The Track....

    No, the mods in my signature are what I have. I ran a 14.322 @ 99.32 mph with a 2.408 60 ft. The best 60 ft I ran was when I was bone stock (except a magnapack catback) and got a 2.269. I have a feeling it's the tire pressure though. I think I drop it too low for a street tire. Also...

    How to properly race with Khumo Ecsta 712s?

    Ok, I'm going to the track one more time before I end up getting my BFG drag radials for Christmas. I have Khumo 712s on the car right now and the best 60 ft I ever did was when I was stock. It was a 2.269. The other night including all of my mods I could only muster a damn 2.408. Now, I have an...

    1/4 times for stock auto

    Damn, I only ran a [email protected] stock with a Magnapack on Khumo Ecsta 712's. On street tires do you guys do a pretty hefty burnout or just go? I know with drag radials you do about a 7-10 second burnout but what about the khumos because I can't seem to get better than a 2.4 60 ft no matter...

    Gotta Buy Drag Radials For The Track....

    Well it would most likely be just for the track but it depends on how long drag radials would last me on the street also? If they'll last 12k miles or so then I might use them on the street. Has anyone tried the Mickey Thompson Radials?

    Gotta Buy Drag Radials For The Track....

    I have to buy some drag radials for the track. I can't hook worth a damn on my $100 Khumo's. My best 60ft with my new mods is worse than ever! A 2.408!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The agony!!!!! Anyway, I have an auto with a stock converter with my mods in my signature. What tires should I get? Nittos? BF...

    Which wheels on 00 Rio Red GT?

    I'm debating whether (for the street) to get 18'' black bullits w/deep dishes out back, hyperblack saleens, black saleens (saw them on ebay), or FR500's in any color. You guys have any pics? Opinions? Photoshops of these rims on a rio red car?

    I was putting back on the piece on the plenum in the front that has two screws. Well as I was screwing it in the hole, the screw snapped. So I went and got a bolt extractor kit but then the drill bit that was supposed to pull it out snapped as well. Now I have the snapped screw in there along...

    have question, replacing plenum

    I took off the plenum and undid all the connections except one. I think it's the pcv valve. Anyway, there's a hose that connects to it which connects to a valve cover it seems? Anyway, I can't get it off of the plenum! It's stuck. It won't budge. When I pull it looks like the hose is going to...

    Need Help ASAP! O/D Off light Flickering!

    Well I just checked the tranny fluid and it's fine, and red. However, my friends dad who's a Chevy mechanic (for 20 years), and who installed my prochamber, noticed when he got under there that I did have a tranny leak. He said it was the extended housing seal? I don't know if that would have...
