    9:1 compression and pump gas octane

    I once ran 10 psi in mine on 87 octane with 18 degrees of timing and had zero knock, although I have a measured 8.5:1 static compression to your 9:1. Still, I wouldn't think 10 psi would be any problem for 91. What was the air/fuel ratio?

    Three 4.1L V6 blocks, crankshaft, new timing cover

    I would be interested in one of the bare blocks, but I am in Indiana and I worry it would cost as much to ship it as it did to buy it.

    Swapped to a 4L80E

    My stock bottom end/212 flat tappet/home ported irons/stock intake/6262 combo trapped 126 mph at 28 psi in 85 degree air with lackluster 60' times and a lot of converter slip through the 1/8 at BG this year. With the latter two issues addressed, I really think there is another mph or two left...

    Hypothetical question about running a blow through setup (carbed intake) but retaining cam sensor/coils

    I'm with Steve D. ECM sees cam and crank sync it would fire coils. I don't know at what point ls coils are actually even needed though, I have a truck coil pack on my tr6 and it's never ran better than it did at 28 psi last week. I'd just keep it simple if I were doing that, just me though. I...

    ISO 4" single shot

    Looking for a 4" single, closer to SW Indiana the better, but would be willing to pay shipping if it was reasonable. 3.5" that's one off and not one of the common kits would be fine as well, prefer to exit behind back tire, though.

    Wuz up at the Nats?

    I got to look at Rich's car while we were in staging lane prison Thursday. That is a neat setup, I always thought the charge pipe on my car landed awfully close to where a carb hat facing forward would be.

    Wuz up at the Nats?

    I fought 60's too, only got 2 passes Thursday and couldn't get out of the 1.6's, but then drove through the converter until I could lock it in drive. Picked up 28 mph back half just to go 11.0. Would've liked to try turbo pro bracket, but with the weather killing Friday, I just wasn't prepared...

    Wuz up at the Nats?

    I saw that happen in the process of burying mine in the mud trying to get loaded up. Hate to see it, looked like it was on a tear before it happened.

    Wuz up at the Nats?

    I picked up a handful of new dents overnight from hail, as did several others, and at least one windshield. Track is drying now, looks like they're going to cram it in this afternoon.

    Bowling Green ...Who's going ??

    Dents and holes, baby, dents and holes. I don't blame him, I bought the car I could afford. I'd rather have a trashy TR than no TR at all. Well, most of the time, anyway. We have our moments...

    Bowling Green ...Who's going ??

    Last year I contended for "trashiest turbo Buick on the property" This year, with any luck, I'll be in the mix for "trashiest 10 second turbo Buick on the property" I have a picture saved somewhere of a couple fellas pointing and laughing at it from last year, lol

    2, V6 motors can bring to Bowling Green

    Interested in the 291 block, is it standard bore? Planning to be in BG Thu and Fri for sure, possibly Saturday too.

    4l85E Swap

    I definitely understand that. This season didn't pan out how I'd hoped, but that's just how it goes. I'd like to see some 10 second slips, and I think I'm onto it now. I needed a taller tire also, so I had to lock it to avoid just plain running out of rpm. I think it will et well unlocked, but...

    4l85E Swap

    I have a much milder setup than you, have been fighting other problems, and have yet to really put down a solid number yet. This information is probably basically useless to you because of all that, but I think my Circle D has been doing a fine job so far. It's a 245mm pro series triple disc, 3c...

    A Matter of Perspective

    It is engine related, but it isn't a technical question, so I present it to you here, for whatever it's worth... The "ported" (emphasis " ") heads that came on my car VS. The "cleaned up a little" heads that came on another 109 I bought recently. Just goes to show you, life is all about...
