This would be so much fun to have.

This past Sunday I was planning on taking the GN to the local track for a test and tune session. Several hours before the track opened, I decided to take the GN out for a spin to double check the tune and boost level. So I drive around and get the car warmed up and find a straight road for a...

Was changing the oil in the GN and thought, wow what a great point of view.

I had a chance to take some videos today while Jim Anson (V6power), Pat Broughton (SloGN) and I were at Piedmont Dragway today (1/6/2013). These first 3 are Jim Anson's passes (V6Power)

Several years ago I bought a ported throttle body from this gentleman. http://www.throttlebodys.com/Hotair Buick.htm He did great work, however he did not use loctite on the butterfly screws on mine. Today one of the screws worked free and mangled the compressor of my TA-63 turbo. If you...

Went to dinner with Pat (SloGN) and just couldn't resist taking a few pictures of this wreck sitting in the parking lot. Most cars at the junkyard look better than this. I'm sure that being nighttime only helped it's appearance.

Zmax is having Test and Tunes on Saturday March 12h and Saturday March 19th. My GN won't be finished by then but I'll be bringing the G8.

I know this sounds like heresy, but it seems to me that today’s V8s are getting incredibly powerful in just their naturally aspired form. Let alone slap a turbo(s) or supercharger on them. I’m reading posts and talking to people it seems like we’re getting ready to have our butts handed to...

This video shows Richard Clark's explanation that replacing the stock charge wire (The wire between the Alternator and the Battery) with a large gauge wire makes little to no difference in voltage supplied to the battery. At times the gauges will be a little difficult to see. The car used is...

A few of us when to Piedmont Dragway yesterday for some 1/8th mile fun. They were handing out flyers for a race in a couple of weeks and guess who’s car was on the flyer. Look along the left side and click the image. Piedmont Dragway Jack’s car must be an excellent example of a...

Before NSCA Nationals I took the car out was doing to some back road tuning. Everything was going peachy until one WOT blast and noticed oil smelling smoke coming into the cabin. Since I happened doing this road tuning in Richard Clark’s neck of the woods, I drove the car to his shop and...

On my first day of the GSCA Nationals, I met Jamie and all I can say is WOW! Her and Carl are super nice people and her car is a super example of how and fast and quick car can also be a show car as well. I discovered the true secret of her car. It's the stuffed animals she takes down the...

Thanks to Julio I'm now logging Alky pressure with a new transducer. Does anyone have a table for various nozzle sizes and their effective pressure ranges? Say for instance, a M10 has a range of X to Y where X is the lowest pressure for properly spray/deliver alky and Y is the pressure it...

Monday we put my buddy Pat's (SloGN) stock 84 WH1 on the dyno. It made about 145 HP and I honestly can't remember the torque numbers. He then decided to disconnect the stock airbox and make a pull. It was totally unbelieveable, the HP jumped to 185 and the torque was around 300. Talk...

I just have to ask this question. How many of you guys have tow bars on the back of your Turbo Regals? I’ve personally seen two and just got a call from someone that they just saw a GN towing a wood chipper in the Raleigh, NC area.

I'm on a G8 board and I know there's some Pontiac G8 owners on this board too, so I thought I'd share this horrible news. Here's the news coverage Driver dies after going airborne, crashing on top of gym near The Woodlands | abc13.com Here'e a link to the thread on that board RIP...

I thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread for those that have the ISAC controller or anyone thinking about purchasing one. The ISAC has replaced my in car manual knob style boost controller and the alkycontrol controller. I have a external wastegate (Racegate) that's now being...

This past weekend I was at a car show with the GM Turbo 6 car club. We had GNs, T-Types, Syclones and a Turbo Trans Am. Conrad Carter (Who’s account is “Hotair” on this board) was there with his 1984 GN. I believe I was mentioning to someone that I was the only Hotair at the show and Conrad...

I just found out Zmax is having a test and tune from 10:00 AM till 6:00 PM on Saturday April 17th. There's just a little bit on their website. Charlotte Motor Speedway | Dragway | Open Test and Tune

Look what I did this past weekend. My buddy Pat (Slogn) and I went to a pull-a-part place and got some Type II ignition modules and coils. Hardest part was cleaning them up.
