    his mod list
    Injectors, ETS intercooler, gt3076r turbo, 30lbs boost, exhaust, external gate with dump.
    This car has done 480hp to the tire and is capable of of more now.
    And i had poor old me with twin turbos on essentially a 360cid small block oil burner and the only new part on my car being the torque converter.
    Round 1
    Playing on the highway, we went from about 50 with him taking the jump. I was locked into overdrive and I pulled a fender on him and maintained that until he shifted to 4th, that out him at my back bumper and left him there.
    +1 Buick
    Round 2Since I didnt feel i best him bad enough, i turned my fueling box (chip) up from level 4 to level 5, this is where unsafe egt's start occurring for me on warmer days, but man it pulls hard up top.
    Same start, 50 roll and he got the jump. This time i put him at the back tire and put half a car between us when he shifted.
    It really started pulling hard and we ran out of room.
    Buick 2, Evolution 0
    It was fun and I now have a new confidence in this car on the street, being able to take out a long respected import at twice his weight.
    Oh, and bigger turbos are on the way, stay tuned next month.

    That's an awesome setup. That's gotta be a blast to drive.

    I am aware of the requisite 24v pistons. I have a p-pumped 12v sitting around waiting for a rebuild...

    This is the only non-Buick engine transplant that I think is just really cool. :beer:

    I have too many interests... Steamboats, diesel dodges, firearms, building my wagon, being married, and a homeowner.
