Went to the track today for the first time with the Buick. I had a blast!.. But I dont think my times are as good as they should have been or I am doing something wrong. The mods on the car are
2.5 exhaust
Intercooler Piping and Maf Pipe
42lb injectors
Chip
I threw 100 octane in it and had a matching chip to run around 20-23psi
I was right in that area going down the track.. I did mangage to get ahold of a friends M/T slicks which we threw on the car..
My best time was a 13.7 at 102mph and a horrid 2.6ish 60ft... tire pressure was at 15psi.
For somereason the car will not build boost with the footbrake.. I know it is a stock converter but I was under the impression you could get them to atleast get into boost to launch... The car would bog when I slammed on the gas if it was not in boost the first 2-3 runs. I finally decided to use the parking brake also and was able to make about 3-4psi to launch and thats when I had my best time... Is the reason its bogging the converter or am I overlooking something..It just would fall on its face... I do have a converter I got off a friend which is black with an orange stripe..I was told it is a 3000k stall.. I am hoping that it might help out a little. Any suggestions or imput would be great. I am starting to learn more and more about these cars and am really happy I went with this car over a ls1/5.0 car.
