Southeast Performance, your turbocharged performance parts warehouse is now open and providing you with the best choice when shopping for Buick and Ford powered performance parts. They are your one-stop shop for all your performance needs. We sell everything from turbos, nitrous kits, blowers and transmissions to performance parts, gauges, gaskets , sensors and chrome parts. Pretty much anything your high-performance vehicle could need! Southeast Turbo Performance (or SE Turbo) was founded by Gulf War veteran Paul Rogowski, an avid racing enthusiast.

Paul Rogowski builds and races his own 1987 Grand National an 2000 HP Super Street Outlaw Mustang. Paul served his country as an active-duty Air Force pilot, flying a C141B Starlifter during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. As First Officer, Paul currently flies B757/B767s for Delta Airlines on their domestic routes. He is an ASE certified technician, specializing in EFI forced induction systems.

The 5000 sq ft facility, located on Atlanta Highway in Dallas, Georgia gives SE Turbo the ability to work on up to 8 cars at a time, a 2000 HP in-ground Dynojet dyno, a fabrication area, and a front retail display area.

In addition to servicing vehicles, SE Turbo carries in inventory a complete line of performance parts for your Buick, Ford or GM vehicle. Their product line extends from simple engine gaskets to leather interiors. They carry a full line of turbochargers and everything you could possibly to, in or on a Buick, Ford or GM motor.

We would like to thank ZDDPlus for their sponsorship of the 2011 Southern buick shootout for the quick 8 category...

After 70+ years of trouble-free, metal-metal engine protection, the E.P.A. is forcing ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate, containing both Zinc and Phosphorus) from domestic motor oil. If your engine was designed prior to the 1990s, your non-roller lifters require ZDDP in your motor oil to avoid premature deterioration. Don’t let your lifters run metal-to-metal. Keep ZDDP, via ZDDPlus™, in your motor oil. Add 4 oz of ZDDPlus™ at every 4 to 5 quart oil change.

As part of an effort to reduce vehicle emissions, the U.S. EPA offers vehicle manufacturers "credits" for early implementation as well as penalties for violation of emission reduction standards. The EPA's program called for 100,000-mile catalytic converter life by 2004, 120,000 miles by 2007, and 150,000 miles by 2009. To achieve these goals, automotive manufacturers have pressured their oil suppliers to remove substances from motor oils that would shorten the service life, including the proven EP (extreme pressure) additive ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate). Zinc and phosphorus from the ZDDP can be present in small amounts in the exhaust gas of an engine depending on the amount of oil which is consumed in combustion. These elements can coat the catalyst reducing the amount of catalyst exposed to the exhaust gases, ultimately increasing emissions at the tailpipe. As a result of the EPA mandate, the ZDDP level in engine oils has been declining since the mid-1990s, roughly coinciding with the implementation of OBDII.

ZDDP has been an important additive to engine oils for over 70 years, and has an excellent track record at protecting the sliding metal-to-metal cam lifter interface. Historically, ZDDP has been added to oils in amounts resulting in approximately 0.15% phosphorus, and 0.18% zinc. ZDDP protects by creating a film on cams and flat lifter contact points in response to the extreme pressure and heat at the contact point. The film of zinc and phosphorus compounds provides a sacrificial wear surface protecting the base metal of the cam and lifter from wear. In the course of normal service, this conversion of ZDDP to zinc and phosphorus compounds depletes the ZDDP level in the oil. Studies show that depending on the specific engine and severity of duty, after 2000-4000 miles of operation, the level of ZDDP can drop below that considered adequate to provide wear protection to the cam and lifters.

According to the SAE Tech Bulletin # 770087 [1] , operation of a flat tappet engine without adequate EP additives such as ZDDP quickly leads to lifter foot scuffing and cam lobe wear. Camshafts are typically only surface hardened leaving the core ductile for strength. According to the SAE Bulletin, once cam lobe wear reaches 0.0002, "subsequent wear is usually rapid and catastrophic." Two ten-thousandths of an inch is one fifth the thickness of an average human hair.

In order to make engines last in the absence of ZDDP, virtually all IC (internal combustion) engines designed in the last ten years utilize roller lifters. Today, ZDDP has been removed from practically all automotive engine oils, rendering them unsuitable for use with older engines with non-roller lifters.
