General Buick Tech / Adjustable upper arms

« on: May 02 2019, 02:29:27 AM »

at what ET will adjustable upper help your 60 foot time?
Car sitting centered on frame, proudly one of the few.
I only make enough HP to go high 11s.
I ask because it’s been 3 mouths since my last new purchase for this car and I need to keep my wife use to my bad habit,I go any longer and she’ll think something wrong.

General Buick Tech / Cam sensor

« on: April 24 2018, 03:13:43 AM »

I pulled my cam sensor and reinstalled after installing new lifter and inspecting the roll pen.
Reinstalled using Caspers tool,car starts and runs,but is lazy taking off.l used to go 1.6 60 foot but can only 2.6 today. I have read all I can in Vortex and you said you will not like the way it runs as it will be spraying fuel 180 degs out of phase. 


Can this make it run lazy?

General Buick Tech / camvs compresion

« on: May 17 2015, 11:40:49 PM »

I ask it on the other form  thought id ask over here
I have two cams
FT 206-210 and a DLS 210-210
My new combo netted 8.2 to 1 compression ratio (Old was 9to 1)compression ratio is all that changed
Champion CNC Irons and intake
5857 BB S cover
2800 LU EA stage II
Both cams will get me to my 11.5 ET
Dose one cam work better with lower compression than the other
dose one have a flatter TQ curve
Both cams got me in the 11.s DLS with less boost 20lb  FT 25lb ,not  fair to compare  different heads with FT 206-210
DLS cam EX and LS is way different than FT EX and LS

General Buick Tech / 11.5 time bomb

« on: February 13 2015, 01:19:07 PM »

  <blockquote> Im over the 10K mark with this build.I have put three sets of mains in this thing .
 I have been over this engine with a fine tooth comb .completely disassemble thoroughly clean and reassemble only to do it again .
 I have  been through the trans cooler pressures Good ,converter fit good,crank and block look good.
 Tune I dont know ,its a 6.1 TT  Alky chip    untouched ,Alky controller set at 6 , boost  only 20lb ,ET 12.0 MPH 112 not pushing it,leave soft go WFO
 I have gotten KR when it hits the rev limiter (5800) and only 5 times it has done that ,,its never lean and the rod bearings is a  little hurt buy contamination  but OK(I still change them)head gasket not hurt,plugs look good ,not lean no detonation good heat range ,I use Valvoline 10-30 racing ,no engine cooler ,no trash from there 
 Im ready to through this thing away and buy a new short-block from someone I'm just afraid to repeat my problem and do it again
 If 5K+  short block would make this go away id spend it.Its the not knowing that terrifies me .I chose 11.5 ET to keep it fun at the track and have nice Sunday drives with my wife around the island   </blockquote>
