Pikes Peak International Raceway in Fountain, CO is running 1/8 mile races on pit row this weekend. Just wondering if anyone on here is going. Would like to see some Buick Turbo V6 power out there.

Thanks for the reply corsair231. I never intended to sell my tr. I bought it in 98 for $4k and have run a best of 12.98 at 20lbs of boost on street tires, with just intake, exhaust, chip, and race gas(it came with fmic, bigger turbo, and blue tops). So high 12's for about $5k total isn't bad. I...

Honestly, I don't like the look of the Evolution, the 4cyl noise and lack of cruise control. But the 05 I rode in was stupid fast. E85, 30lbs of boost, big turbo, cams, ported head. He claims to have 500hp+ and very little invested. Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

I work with a guy who is trying to convince me to give up my car and buy an Evo 8/9. He basically claims that the money/power ratio for mods on an Evo beats anything out there. Is there anyone on here that owns or has owned both an Evo and a Turbo Buick, and can tell me their experience?

96-97 chevy offered the LT4 in a few corvettes and camaros. It was basically an LT1 with a hotter cam and better flowing exhaust manifolds. The grand sport vette and special edition camaro ss. It was rated at 330hp I believe. Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

Just FYI: walmart.com has NT555R's-about a week out site-to-store. I bought 2 275/50/15's for $158 each+tax & disposal.

Thanks for the reply. All 6 are getting power. I'm going to try and negotiate with the guy I recently bought the 6 injectors from to see if I can get half my money back on the 3 bad ones. $20 per injector for repair/cleaning/balance(x12) plus 2 way shipping adds up quick. Either way I'm looking...

Thanks

I have 2 sets (12) of blue tops. I had 6 that wouldn't start the car(7 year old gas). I drained the tank, filled with 8 gallons of premium and 8oz of seafoam. Flushed the lines and fuel rail. Car would not start. Getting power to injectors: 3 out of 6 were not clicking. Decided to buy a used set...

Thanks.

Any TR owners in Colorado Springs on here? I'm looking for 93 octane fuel to get my 87 running again. 91 octane is the highest I've seen. Does the altitude here allow for lower octane? If so, then I'll just throw a few gallons of 91. Any help is appreciated.

I work at a large Honda dealer and I have "killed" several vehicles. I just drain the oil, fill with 2-3 qts. of sodium silicate, start it, run it for 4-7 min. in park at 2000 rpm and just listen to it die. We've had a few radiators puke while killing the engine, but mostly it's drama-free...

Economics 101: The Price of Gas Gas prices are up and oil executives are once again testifying before Congress. Clearly, many politicians, pundits, and consumers lament the rising cost of gas. Before we join them in their chorus, let us take a step back and ask this question: Are gas prices...

Count me in, please. Thanks.

I'll take a piece of that action!
