^ Nice clips! You pulled that Trans Am in the last clip pretty freaking hard, but was he even racing though? Looked like he might have been on the phone, talking to the wife, but hey, how the heck would I know lol. Very nice bro, that Camaro pulls very very hard! Can't wait to see what she does at 15-psi....

^ All things running smooth, and with boost upped closer to 14-psi, and that thing will break 12's with the current turbo charger that's already in there. First time I seen the turbo setup in person fella's, and lemme tell ya, impressed would be an absolute understatement. It came out freaking awesome, and the engine pulls very hard with moderate boost....

Re: vid clips from today
Lemme take pics of the exhaust for you ahead of time, this way you know what your dealing with. The '98's are different from the newer models, as only one cat is next to the engine (drivers side), the other is in the same location as the 3rd gen's. Also, the tubing is very different, so it'll give you an idea ahead of time how we're gonna do this....

Re: vid clips from today
I've had my share of clogged converter's in the past, but this is just ridiculous. They are bad, really bad bro, they need to be tossed asap. A fresh set of high flow converters will eventually be going in along w/the new headers and exhaust (whenever I decide on which ones lol), but for now, I need to be able to drive the damn car, let alone start it lol....

Re: vid clips from today
^ Curious to see what it runs, he's done some very extensive work to it, and Paulie tuned it. He's got the alky injection already installed, so I don't think either one of us will stand a chance against him. Without a doubt, low 11, high ten second T-Type, all depending how well he hooks tomorrow night, of course.

^ I'm rooting for you bro, I really am, but it appears the Grand Nationals will be cleaning our clocks tomorrow night. Already know that Shawn is going to take me, the question is though, by how much lol. Hopefully I can get inside of his head before we get to the tree, throw him off by a second, or ten mwuahahahaha....

Re: vid clips from today
Just got to get the skeleton of a 3.1 (block and crank is all that's left) out of the car and do some pressure cleaning and painting - don't want to drop this work of art in a dirty bay, lol.
Then it's on to mocking/welding headers, woot.

Re: vid clips from today
Youl'd probably be better off going to a scrap yard, shipping won't be cheap.
I weighed the iron top end and it was 85lbs, the 3x00 top end weighs 35lbs, lol.
I can weigh them right now while I'm still here at the shop if you want. You can have them for $10 plus shipping, haha.

^ Shawn was having a little difficulty Friday night, running very rich on the top end and let off of it. Still ran a very respectable low 12 second pass, but that thing is easily a 10 second T-Type. He knows his Buicks....
Why not come down one Friday night and hang out w/us....?
