You're going to need race gas or alky now. What intercooler do you have? Anything done to your heads?
It has regular hard street tires, 265/50/15 on 8" welds on the rear, and skinnies on front. It came factory with an open diff. When I got it, someone had put a gov-loc in it, and because they suck, I put the posi I had on the shelf in it. It is a stock G80 carrier from an 87 GN rear that's under my Malibu. I gutted it a few years ago, and put all Moser 33 spline stuff in it. I may change the converter later on, but I am itching to get this LQ4 swap finished in the Malibu, so I'm not fooling with this Buick any more for a while.Ok cool. Just outta curiosity though, what tires do you run on it? And do you have posi in it? Are you going to still change the stall? A nice PTC would wake her up a little more I bet. The old D5's were really inefficient compared to today's stalls.
I agree, but these things seem to be crazy ticky about any kind of exhaust leak. I am trying to exhaust all possibilities before I burn or sell it lol.Or it could be from when it opens to by pass the exhaust and control the boost? Doesnt look like its leaking by much

I have a friend that got into the 6s in the 1/8 on regular, plain old, 275/60/15 turbo tech tires with his. He had his car sorted out and it worked really well. Anyway, the wastegate was a minor issue. After some work, it was doing better, but not like it is now.
I have been looking around and there seem to be plenty of people having trouble with "lackluster performance" as Bison put it with the 44s and reman converters. I need to find an original unopened BRF D5.
