Post So long for now.

No, it's not one of those lame goodbye forever posts. I am just going away for a week. Bowling Green, KY here I come! Taking the old Turbo Buicks out for a week of fun. Just swapped the turbo, downpipe and exhaust on my 87 GN and loaded it up on the trailer for the trip. My brother is taking a 87 Turbo-T. One of our workers is taking his 10sec 87 GN. My dad will be towing my car with his S-crew so I may say screw it and drive the Cobra there. Wish me a safe trip. Talk to ya'll in a week. Woohoo! -Mat-

Grand Nationals 0wn.

My friend just picked one up and is having a hard time building boost at the line before taking off. Any tips from GN owners on how to get the boost up?

HaHaHa. We got here about 9pm. My buddy brought his lap top so I can go online! WooHoo. Did some cruising went to a local strip club. HaHa. Going racing 2morrow so I am going to bed. Goodnight.

****, Tell your buddy to check his wastegate solenoid. Or maybe he has a big turbo w/o a high stall converter. Could be a bad wastegate. Lots of things. Goodluck with it. -Mat-

Hey guys, I am having a great time! Went 12.44 today. Not bad for slapping some parts on in 2 days if ya ask me. I am trying to get ya all some pics, but I have been playing with the car a lot. First run was a 13.8 got it down to the 12.4 today. I am hoping for a little more tweaking. Dear I say I want an 11>?!?!? HaHa. That sure would be nice. I will keep ya posted and post pics when I get home. One of the guys I know here had his Turbo Regal straight up in the air with the back bumper about an inch off the ground blasting off a 9.8 run! It is a lot of fun. -Mat-
