I would do some reading on Turbo Regal Web Site It's a good site with allot of info. After that I would exercise the search feature on this site extensively. Until you do a good bit of reading about tuning and figure out what you're doing I would resist the urge to put your foot through the floorboard. Also, if you don't have one you need a scantool.
 
here another pic i will have some good ones this weekend

Nice looking car. From what I remember in the ad, it should be a fast ride when properly tuned.
 
Not bad for low boost.

That's a DAMN good time for the amount of boost you said you were running!......If I were you I would find a good GN Mech or knowledgeable GN person to help teach you how to keep it in tune. Don't try to raise the Boost or do squat else until you know something about these Beasts.....else you will get real familiar with changing head gaskets or even worse. What mods were done to your Buick by the previous owner? For someone that says they know nothing about these cars, you had a pretty good 60' time on that video:rolleyes: .
I would also do a lot of reading as the BlackBandit suggested you do. How much did you pay for it?
