How fast is your car ?

[Fachie Motion]

Going to get my car to the track soon. Wanted to see how fast most Turbo Buicks are going these days.

Don't know how fast in the quarter, 1/8 mile is in signature, converts to a high 10 on a mild tune. Motor is out getting rebuilt. Going back to NC in May to run the 1/8 mile again. Trying to get into the 9's. Going with race fuel only and may go the e85 route, ALKY has been removed.

Good luck with the rebuild. Why did you get rid of the ALKY ?

Since building the stroker I have had issues that i just can't keep repeating moneywise. The meltdown on my motor last spring after returning from NC was caused by my boost controller going haywire. My boost was at a rock steady 22psi and suddenly went WAY past 30psi. I just want to simplify my fueling.

2 TR's here in the 11's, but I could only vote once.

Daily driver on pump gas and alky. since the 90's.

Yep.Sorry. Did not think about the 1/8 mile guys or the guys with more than 1 car when I set up the pole.

Always about 1/2 second slower than I want it to be.

are you asking how they SHOULD go or what they actually run Seriously way to many variables for most cars in here I think. Most of them @ NED in Epping are slugs !!

To quote a man you are familiar with that worked on my car 3 years ago...
"Dude, it SHOULD go low 11's but you have to wait and see what it actually does at the track."

Fast enough to go wabbit hunting!!!!!!!!!

 

[Major Nutz]

I put 10's, which it has been, but at the moment the engine is on the stand again. Should be back together pretty soon.

Haha.. got one that runs 12.0 @ 113 and never breaks anything and has practically nothing done to it. Got another one that's much faster and a much bigger pain in the arse!

No seriously don't know yet till I get the tune figured out.
