Title: How fast is fast...
Post by: SuCkA on March 13 2007, 09:41:37 PM
So i hear all kinds of blah, blah, blah, my car does this.....but shouldda done this!!!
Mhm I think I've heard em all. I was just wondering, havent seen a post, so just how fast is your BUICK and what did ya do to make there. I mainly run the 1/4 mile when my kids aren't eating all of my fuel money because 1/2" fuel line and small tank is not good..  I have a little project of my own going and now with four kids it seems like it'll be awhile before I'm done. Oh yeah i should probably say that my "project" will probably beat alotta buicks as it stands now. I will post a pic of it when the snow finishes melting! Just wondering what i should be shootin for in the end...NOS rocks eh! :evil;

I run high 16's on a conservitive tune. If I tweak it I think I can bust into the 15's. Helium in the tires RULES!!!

13.72 with a 2.2 60' and running 11# of boost. Someday I will tune it and work on the traction.

And yes it has been all the way to 85 on a good day also. Had it up to 35 yesterday.

The next project will be capable of mid to high 9s. ~550hp and less than 2500#.

NOS is fun. It was a blast in my now deceased Mazda p/u. My cah currently
runs 13.3 with the original 170k engine and a chip. The new combo will be enough to get me kicked outta the dragway for not having a cage. That'll be fun at least once.

Hmm... I clocked it a LONG time ago in the 1/8, banged out like a 9.1 I think... with very few mods. This was with a Kenne Bell chip and some octane booster crap. I think I did the cat-back too. I don't even think I had a Scanmaster then.

I know I've hit 135 in it, by asking a friend I was racing. I've held up with a M3 on the freeway. I've raced a Lambo on the street and on the freeway. Got my ass kicked both times, but I did have a good holeshot.

That's about it I suppose. I have no interest in going out of my way to time it in the 1/4. I'm more worried about stoplight to stoplight in between abusing it everyday for work and school.
