With all that stuff, it is time for you to belly up and take responsibility for blowing it up....you were the one behind the wheel and the one with eyes on the O2s and the Timing Retard.  The more you post, the more apparent it is that you simply did not have a clue about what you were doing.

You are building a beautiful car.  Perhaps it would be a good idea to stick to car shows until you learn something about tuning.  No one that knows anything about the cars is going to give you any credence and if the person that you sued had had a jury of his peers, you would have left the courtroom charged with paying the court costs.
  I blew-up what was supposedly guaranteed for at least the minimum of One 1/4 mile pass,True there was no writing on it, was verbal .So the explosion's are on KDK,even gave him 2 other try's,he had Full Rene (with my cash an parts in trade) over the entire car an build,Your correct,I did blow up his tune i guess,there's no real solid explanation yet other than Lean tune ,This all was 4 years ago, still had the idiot dash 0-85 an single boost only gauge with one Water temp in lower right pannel. Now, i Have all the gauges i need, AIR/FUEL gauge is above my Boost gauge in the Pillar pods, 4 years ago, your correct, I paid to have it all done,I have no work area or dyno or any idea how to set translator box or adjust the Extender chip,Was to be inspected an track ready! You've read where that got me, Now's a whole different story....The car's twice as Fast an doesn't fall over what so ever, Solid pull till i decide to let off. I still have the last quad air ECM modded for large injectors. Anyone can give me $150 an try it out, I'll gladly refund the cash when it's returned...be selling a lot old parts soon ;^)
What ever you think, He had No Case...wasn't just the Motors in the suit ;^),only way he'd got out of it would actually do the job he had been assigned or close business an declare bankruptcy. He choose his Insurance
Only reason i'm not hitting the track is i have to brake-in the new rearend first,i'm not even going to dyno it like the last time with Cal,We'er just going to put nice 22psi boost street tune one it,He's did it before, Car fly's, An i  watch Gauge's, All's Gravey!!!

I've forgotten more about this stuff that most people will ever know. You could hand me $100,000 and I'd never say I'd warranty a track car. I damn sure wouldn't do it for $8000.


I almost wonder if you have a tired fuel pump or a flow restriction between the fuel and the injectors.  Wouldn't it be funny if your ECM problems are from a pin hole leak or a rust flake in the FPR signal hose?
Brand New" XPR1 (Reds pump) Hotwired an Volt Boosted,(we took out my old xp pump an aux. mounted pump,a Bosh pump off a 87' turbo 944 Porsche,did it because of age), On the dyno sheet i posted in ECM bus thread, it had full 68 psi.  so guess again...heh Everything was gone through checked an or replaced if at all iffy..another reason i paid alot. He'd didn't have to give me a max HP motor i guess like he did, i told him i want Operational track car. So any tune that'd got be to end the 1/4 mile been Perfect, I could took over from there...;^)

That's why i want my car out of the paint shop an Running before Dec 21st !!!
 So i have my Mad Max Mobeil..lol..t wo 55 gallon drums in the truck an hiden explosive device, I'm Happening!

  When people tried stealing mine out the driveway at 3am when i just left a bar,I came out with CAR-15 (paratrooper m-16), Those 3 guy's Scattered!! 2 got away, i identified the third one at 4am the cops caught,had the chopper's out an all,...Never Leave you GN alone in an Open Air Area...;^)...I had to fix the doorlock an steering column. As for KDK , I expressly told him to tune it for the Track. I want a 1/4 mile track tune because it's going to the Track when he finished it/delivered it....He agreed an took my money an said car's Ready for the Track! My first track run in it is All what he built an tuned in to it over 1 year..The suit after he just let his insurance handle it, no skin off his back...8^/....But as for him being a Listed as a Buick Specialist in the Hi-Performance area ,That's false advertising,other wize i'd have Running 10sec car with first build...heh..
When Cal tunes my car, I make sure it's the way i want it, After that,.It's all mine!!! as is no warrenty's. He'd have no responsibly for motor,he didn't build it...KDK on other hand installed everything into my car but didn't complete the job assigned.
If a shop takes your money an doesn't deliver what was both "fully agreed" too. You can let you money go an go somewhere else or Can get it back. Most shop's have "You" sign an disclamer statement,Sign that, True, you won't get sqaut back for failuar. Thats free ticket for shops to do as they please.Haircut ting's a repetitive process, Motor's builds shouldn't be,but was to Me  (or hopfully not anymore)..8^)

A Florida Buick Grand National Story,


Flashback!!!.....It's Oct. 1985...
I'm 15 year's old an just moved to Orlando,FL,USA. My Father decides he is going to buy a new car. He's thinking Monte Carlo SS . After some reading up an looking around " I " Highly Suggested a 86' Buick Grand National !!! (For re-sale but mainly i knew it was the Fastest production car for 1986..)We went to the dealer an offered $14,000 take it or leave it an Left . 2 Months later Buick Call's an say's "We have a Grand National for you"... We pick up a 1986 Buick Grand National with No power options ( light weight ).
1987.....
After my father using it for year, an My first car ever.(bought at age 13 ) a 440 74' Dodge dart had lost a rod on I-4. I started driving the GN..The GN came with 10 year Unlimited Mile bumper to bumper warranty..(Big Grin!) After driving, getting the feel for an testing the capabilities of, First thing on a Modification list was Loosing all the Insurance an factory emissions hold ups (Making it an letting it breath more,Hello Spin in Test-pipe!...Jack the front of the car up till the rear bumper about hits the ground an spin the cat. or test pipe tube on/off..). Second up was a Suspension change. Stock GN's are limited to 124 mph for Reason! At that or above speed the Rear End wobbles . Easy fix though threw polyurethane bushings upper an lower with boxed control arms. While i did the Back's i did the Front's as well along with Bilistein shocks an Applied Technologies & Research Rate Springs an last 28mm sway-bar out back an 22mm front thats adjustable. Now the car's Solid to any MPH.
1988....
Time to buy some Goodyear Gatorbacks (Vette tires back in the day) to find the top end of GN. A Bone Stock GN with only Chip,Exhaust,K@N Air filter an the necessary suspension changes will do 160 MPH !!!
I had the Gatorbacks Howling,Overdrive was Redlined on the Dash,Mile marker's were going, 1.....2.....3. I now own a Nascar with Indy motor !! at this time the car was running in the 12.s soildly . I have stack time slips 1/2 foot high.
Time to go Faster. Hey! NOS just came out with kit for GN !! (evil grin) I put 125hp kit on my GN an go for test ride, I mount a button on the steering wheel. First time out, Hit the button, Whoosh your Gone!! but then at higher RPM 'Pop!!!"..Game over. car spits an sputters. I had blown the inlet pipe off. After researching the problem, the boost comes down to 10psi,bone stock chip goes in,. Now i hit the Button an 11.90's come up at the track !! still bone stock GN with minor add on's. With the NOS install came the addition of a complete bolt in Currie ford 9" for Buick. I opted for 3:50 gear, (I'd broke 3 different stock rears).Funny story one time with the NOS. I took my car out in the woods here to go shooting with couple girls .I had McCeary's (dirt sprint car tires) on the back, skinny's in front so made nice sand rail buggy in the sugar sand. we get to the spot,shoot some ,go the leave an i'd locked in the key's in the car!!! only thing open was the trunk..heh. So. I get thin an had crawl around the NOS bottle under the speakers holes, unloosen the back seat from the top an slide my 6 foot butt through to the drivers seat. Whew i was saved,but the bottle location moved that day to opposite the spare tire holder. Another tricky thing with NOS an GN is launching, You will launch so hard an if you got traction, it will pull the steering column down because your holding on so hard!! Tire choice is important but not as much as the tire compound that's best for dry traction, Warning, best dry traction compound Sucks!! in the rain.You get either or. Best launch I've done was at 12psi on foot break(no NOS) on L60 McCeary on asphalt. But if it rained you can't drive over 30mph with-out the rear just sliding out like on Ice.
I now own a Rocket Ship that gets 28mph (if you grandma it) !! I've been 60 miles in 38 minutes..72 miles in 42 minutes..with best cannonball run "timeish" of one way Orlando to Washington D.C. in 8 hours !!!..Worst ticket ,Duely county ,GA one time, Clocked at 120+ mph on my brakes,Hit the brakes when i crested the hill an saw the sheriff in the middle the HWY grass pointed straight at me,I "was" doing 150mph...8^) was $566 to get me an GN out of jail... Funniest ticket i ever got an was my first ever. I was on International Drive,a major hang out back in the 80's. Couple people on the side the road did the "spin tire gesture". So i Did..I was in bumper to bumper traffic anyway,Huge smoke cloud comes out the wheel wells an all of a sudden i get a Flashlight in my face from other side the road...Opps,I didn't see the fully clothed uniform police officer walking down other sidewalk...I got "Exhibition of Speed"..4 points on my license, Great ticket in Buick Grand National!!!
Now in the Late 80's.....
The 86' GN has 96,000 miles on it. I go for ride but didn't warm the car up good enough an Loose a rod bearing . I'm still under Warrenty !! I get the motor fixed but Buick dealer tried pulling a fast one an Only replaced That rod bearing . 3 days later i was back an got brand new short block assembly installed because the other 2 rod bearings wiped . In total i went through 3 rear ends,2 transmissions,1 motor,1 turbo at 113,000 miles..Not bad for Heavily Used GN...
1990..The death of the 86' GN...
I was trying to get a girlfriend back,Me ,her, her friend an friend mine went out for the night. Was X-mas Day 90'. After some partying an on the way back home, i pulled over to let the girl drive. 2 miles up the road I'm laying Indian style in the Grass...We'd came up on the back of Pontiac firebird. I said "Give it some gas an Pass it." She did, car went side ways 3 times then off the road into tree in the passenger side door, (Where i Was) I went out the closed window an 200 feet then car flipped an landed back on its wheels. Worst injury,my buddie got busted lip from girl in the back seat hitting him in the mouth when car flipped. We where only going 35mph when she went to pass.
1990 Birth of the 87' GN...
3 months go by, Insurance offers $14,000 or $11,300 an i can keep the wreck. Car's totaled. I pick $11,300 !! next week i find 1987 GN fully loaded for $11,000 with 63,000 miles on it. i now have 87' GN with 86' Spare Wreck parts car..I put the Currie 9" into the 87', Works like charm. I put the 87' GN in a little self storage unit for day an in "One" night install the 9" an all new front urethane bushing like i did in the 86'. The 86' i stripped in my garage all the way to shell. This next part for you Loyal GN owners is almost Sacreligish. I needed space in the garage Bad, so i rented a Gas Massionary Saw with Diamond Carbon Fiber Blade an cut the 1986 Buick Grand National into small pieces, enough to fit the Whole car into a Datsun B210 hatch back . After that both went to the crusher ..(Tear)
My GNX Self butt Kick...
My car running mid 12's no NOS ,on 100 octane Handy-Way station gas, $2.99 gallon straight from the pump. I pass a Lexus dealer a see a Buick GN. I pull in, It's not a GN but a Real GNX. Buddy Cox's car, I can't recall the number.I want to say 107 or 307?, Anyway I pull in the Lexus dealer in my car,an ask for test ride. I drove it an the transmission was wasted but still had some emuff. The deal would have been $11,000 an My 1987 Buick GN in trade. At that time i thought "No Way". there not getting my car an 11 grand...Now,Today, I think back an am kicking my self in the butt...(Tear number 2)
Now i try playing with the Motor's...
Late 1990...
After completely adding all the "good' stuff to the 87' GN i decided to go into the motor. This where everything goes to hell. I shoot for the SP cams that where hot ticket then, After 3 total rebuilds an All the cam's wiping a lobe or two,some at over 2000 miles others at break-in. My driver license is 1 point away from 5 year suspension ( Yes a lot play equals a lot of pay) I Give Up !!! I put the car in Storage Mode (on Jacks an Covered in sheet in garage) an Buy Build 73' Camaro .
The Year 2000.....an the Motor build Time Warp!
My 412 Camero goes 10.8 street tires mufflers but get's 4 miles to the gallon gas !! Time for Gas efficient race car again...I sell the Camero an trailer for $6000 no motor
The 87' GN comes out of storage an the car goes to John at Bowling Green Custums in Alt GA,Had a complete machine shop build from Boyde Automotive here in FL with,stock block, steel main,large valve ported stock heads.
John has it 4 years, charges me $14,000 for Yeap,straight from his shop a Wiped camshaft!!!
2005.......
Car goes to KDK Performance in FL
Gone to billet roller cam.$8000 rebuild,car blows up 1/2 track at 110mph. I take up a new hobby of Astrophotagrap hy...3 total rebuilds all i paid for,dynoed,tested by Kevin,then to the track same thing, 1/2 track grenade First Run !! 4th new motor bought an paid for, i pull car out KDK,spent over $30,000 in cash an parts totaling over 3 years,I take KDK to court an win.
2006...A Little Building Blues pause..
At this time period,,My Cars a 10 second sleeper in half, But i have 265/50/15 BGF's on all the way around an the cars only good for 1/8 mile power wize. I'm driving around the neighborhood an come to a light. I'm turning Left in the outside lane .On the inside lane is a 4 door E-class Mercedes with windows all the way down an older gentleman playing Classical Piano on radio...Loud.. .I'm thinking " i turn this corner, this guy's not going to know What Happened!"... Light turns Green, We both turn the corner side by side. Right when we straighten up . That Mo Fo in the Mercedes Gun's It's an Is Gone!!!!!..I stab the gas a go up in smoke....!!! ...LOL..I was like what the hell just happened here????...come to find out, i tried pulling a stunt on a $180,000 Twin Turbo Composer Mercedes E600,11.30's 1/4 mile times from the factory with Awesome traction Control!!!...Next day i ordered 10" inch 28 inch tall E.T. streets. I'm looking for that guy again...heh
2008........
I call Cal Hartline,He recommends Lamotta performance. The new motor from KDK goes straight on the dyno an BOOM!! head gasket launches as all the times before. I asked Jake at Lamotta if he can fix it, an add Posten GNX style dash an new Front mount intercooler,6 months later motors done at Heartbeat racing engines,Even though Lamottoa dropped my motor to him for whatever reason i had to go pick it up from the machinist .(that cost the tranny in my Tahoe!)After Lamotta installs the motor an fires it,I expressibley told him to wait for me before him an Cal dyno it!!,,He dyno's it anyway an bends a Rod with out my knowledge!!..When I called Jake an he said i quote "Its fine, ready to go"..I pick it up, Its bellowing white smoke out the exhaust very 10 minutes,water temps high, oil pressures All over the place!!!,,the dash speedo don't work, (the whole reason i had the GNX dash kit Installed was to loose the 85mph limit!!) an the grill ,Lamotta broke the header panel flap so my Grill dangles in place,had to buy whole new front headlight panel,won't mention them storing my car under a car on lift that leaked fluid because by now my paints wasted any way. $13,000 in total parts an labor back to square one
Piston pin was riding up an down the #4 cylinder wall
2009......
Car stays in My Garage..
Dave at Heartbeat racing engines rebuilt an sleeves the damage piston pin cylinder an i have him add GN1 stroker kit..The Motors now perfect an i have over 2000+ miles on it
July 27th 2010
The cars at ProFab in Tampa having Matt inspected the suspension along with the brakes. I had shop neer by Orlando Muscle Cars add TRZ a-arms an disk brakes but they Completely Ripped Me Off an made the car un-useable,($3400 waste!!!)They put drag race only brakes on with no parking brake. Pocketed thousand dollors Also TRZ bars do not clearance a GN's downpipe either i find out the hard way.
Feb 23rd 2011...
The Car's Repaired from shade tree mechanic work Again.!! I now have BMR control arms front an back. Aerospace pro-street disk brakes all around,1 inch lower springs, ROH drift wheels with Falken auto cross tires, Added the GNX fender flare kit an Have All the GNX conversion pieces i need for the 87' GN last shop visit, Paint An Body.....
After all the other places of repair an so called performance specialist, How Hard can it be finding a One Time Visit only Paint Shop for the Last Phase of this GNX 548-R clone build ??? ..(smirk)
Moral to Last 10 years,If you "Have to" send your car out...Try your Hardest to Have a All-in-One shop work on your car,Or you'll get the Third person run around,(example), Oh i'll take your car an your money,but its the machist fault or part builders fault why nothing works,pay us, blame them... First time you here that....Run!!! Get all work in Writing,You might need it later, What ever you do don't give up till it's matter of life or death. Each time you get your car back,It's like X-mas!!!! you go all Googlie!!

i posted an dyno sheet,the one in the vid with supra, at little past 1/8 it blew head gasket.( no trailer,limped it home). I brought my car to KDK after having my car at John's at Bowling Green Customs who screwed me with whiped flat tapped cam fresh build...You have no Idea on the motors i been through the last 6 years....LOL . all from buick pros to supposedly.

They couldn't find the leanout condion for anything..it goes lean by it's self,not through the tune KDK said. If you pay someone for build, you Expect it to go down the track At Least on it's first pass striaght out there shop when They Said it Would...So i tried it

Bowling Green Customs has been out of business for over a decade (if not 10 years, damn close) ??? ?

So they told you it ran lean up top, they couldn't figure out how to solve the problem and you go balls out on the first pass and blow it up?? Based on what you just said you took a car that can't run up top and blew it up. (then stayed in it another 1/4 mile). Just curious, did it have antifreeze in it for the limp home?


You and I have a much different thought process. I don't go balls to the wall after an oil change.

I've got three cars with BFGs on them. If I let the air out of each set and drive on them till something breaks, do you think your attorney could get me $30,000 too?
Yeap,10 years i been messing with this car,I've owned a GN since 86'( it got totaled with 113,000mile on o.d. by girlfreind so in 90' i bought an 87',The 86' was still under dealer warrenty, Unlimited miles/10 years, ),Early 2000 car went to John he had it 4 years,KDK 3 years,...before that was stored when i was loosing motors to whipe flat tappets early 90's,(all the lead was taken out the oils) then later the additives came out. The headgasket wasn't major, but was one,Thats why i did another full freshen up rebuild,with added parts, Blown-up go Faster my mato..After alot street play i did the track trip,it fell over just like on the street,just like there dyno test was,I expected them to solve the problem not dick me around,KDK has his own 10 sec car too,Cotton's white car was having same issue as mine but up north at his shop on his dyno..this all 4-5 years ago now,I told KDK my goals,He's said i was good to go!, So hell yea, i ran my car out the 1/4.... Thats what i paid him $8000 for....then 2 more times, What i paid for i was never deliviered , don't matter if race car or not. Wasn't my resposiableity to re-check an go over the whole car when i paid KDK, a performance automitive place to do it have it fully track ready. Check your state's lemon law,  ;^)
If you want your lawsuit won, change your 3 car's tires over to Firestones!!! If you tamper with the product that voids any warrenty ,the Firestone will let there own Air Out!   I want my cut the settlement!!

As I stated, your experience is different from what the vast majority of us have experienced over the past 25 years.  There are certain vendors that tend to tell people the stock ecm is no good, often on 12-14 second cars, because they like to sell aftermarket systems at a good profit and then tie up the tuning for years to come at a further good profit when compared to selling a programmable chip for a few bucks.

There is absolutely nothing in the stock ecm that shuts the fuel off at 100 mph or 600 hp.  You can tell yourself anything you wish, but reality is different.

As Paul stated earlier, it is much easier to tweak an aftermarket system to adjust for ambient conditions and that may be more important on a Nine second car than on a run of the mill 600 hp car if the user understands tuner.  If not, you can always show up at the tract with a hired gun to do it for you.
That's where i'm at now,I see Cal Hartline this Tues. So... my last "hired gun's" ,KDK an Eric failed there task? KDK is die hard stock ECM user. (plus he said him an one his tune guy's said they couldn't figure out XFI programing an was to difficult) So... i went there route.the stock ECM way, total opposite of what you stated, got me 3 wasted motors,4 if count the one that went with me an Cal on another dyno an shop. I have hooked up to the XFI myself, i've read the table chart's,I see exactly how it works so from now on, I won't be having issues, an haven't since the XFI install. I just should went the aftermarket way at the start,no conflicts between tuner,chip maker an factory equipment issues

howTF is a headgasket $8000.00

and that pass was easily cranked up over 500hp heading for a ten sec pass

what was the boost
$8000 Was my first bill from KDK on first build,(went roller cam,translator,extender,billet trans,art carr,alky) the same in scantool logs i posted an dyno sheet,the one in the vid with supra, at little past 1/8 it blew head gasket.( no trailer,limped it home). I brought my car to KDK after having my car at John's at Bowling Green Customs who screwed me with whiped flat tapped cam fresh build...You have no Idea on the motors i been through the last 6 years....LOL . all from buick pros to supposedly.
I know the car was hauling arse, Why'd it Die??? 22-23psi boost only, same as scantool logs, an dyno sheet's, i didn't touch a thing from the Shop. wanted a working car before i tried learning it all, i never made it past the 1/8 with out motor leaning out!! no matter what they tried,3 differant motor's, Each build i added speed parts,I'm the poster child for if it blows ,go Faster!! If i could ever get a working car, I'll be in Fat City!
I paid for 1/4 mile drag car, I got 1/8 mile car,They couldn't find the leanout condion for anything..it goes lean by it's self,not through the tune KDK said. If you pay someone for build, you Expect it to go down the track At Least on it's first pass striaght out there shop when They Said it Would...So i tried it, No Dice..Nor anyother time,I've ownd a Buick since 86 production,only stored it for 10 years an built something else (10.80,street tire,stock sus.73 camero) Not New to the Cars what so ever,Only the tuning now,which is all interchangeiab le now ,of which will be no issue after i get my car back an have it Running for while...;^)

I've read some fast car's on stock ECM,yes,most in the 9's now are on Aftermarket system though if read Sig's. I'm sure a computer engineer could do what ever they like to factroy Ecm. Me i don't have those resources or room to work on car. So i "thought" i did the next best thing,  Find the closet to me professional Buick tuner. (KDK automotive,you can look him up,or might know him already)  get chip from a respective maker, (Eric's which KDK use's anyway). I had wanted an DFI system or Bigstuff3 before any this, But KDK said "You can use the the stock ECM with Translator plus', So i listened an went that route.... When i picked up my car the first time, Was a RocketShip,Dynoed 533rwhp all numbers matching motor... (Dyno sheet attached below) Pull of 10 second car easy. But 1/8 mile it was done. I told KDK the problem an him an Eric an Cotton Perf. (which was having the same issue on there car,he even sent the tranny out his car an it was put in mine to test,Same Issue though) I tried 2 other full builds to try have  the Pro's fix the issue. They couldn't.....(or Wouldn't ) But don't think people want bad name.......onl y read a duty cycle issue i guess so far,does the chip or the ECM control that an how's it adjusted (short version's fine) the Scantool run post above still show's 530hp though. Is what happened was the tuners going for HP on dyno but in Real World driving with wind an rolling resitance the car needed more then what a dyno run could tune??? Even them testing the car didn't like it over 100mph.  Here's the dyno sheet so you can the rest the info...I going to learn my car i just need base line to go from first,I learned Astrophotraphy in 3 years (while my car was in the shop), Tuning be easy if i could get a starting base that'd atleast run one 1/4 mile...8^)
