    9/11 converter help

    When I purchased a used 9x11 it was set up for 1200 stall speed. I sent it to PTC in muscle shoals Alabama and they rebuilt it with 3000 stall. That was probably 4 years ago and it has been fine ever since.

    obd connector

    I would like to be able to move my scanmaster between cars. It seems the easiest way to do this would be to have a connector for the OBD Port under the dash. Is there a source for these ? do any of the Buick vendors offer them?

    Have to rebuild engine

    I don't think a cam helps the motor sound much better. That turbo and v6 sound can't match a strong lumpety lumpety V8 for sound. I did go with a 206/206 during a rebuild. Still sounds stock but I think it raised the powerband a bit.

    GS Nationals Who's going ??

    It's hard to pick a hotel with mostly turbo people. All the locations seem to have a mix of older and newer buicks. Holiday inn and Hampton seem to draw a crowd. The news inn would be packed but it's turning into a dive. Red roof inn was still a good spot. Scottsville road area has plenty...

    engine prime lost?

    TT 6.1 or 5.7 chip?

    I went from a 5.7 to the wide band chip. Usual turbo, downpipe, alky upgrades.....no difference between the two except it helped reduce a knock issue I had. If you already have the wideband it should be on your upgrade list
