Love it! Tastefully done with attention to detail. I see the scanmaster which means you likely have associated mods. Do you have traction issues with that tire size? What does it run at the track? Thanks for sharing.


Well, thanks for the compliments! My long block is stock aside from bigger injectors and a little better than the stock turbo, TE44. I have zero traction as a matter of fact! :eek: And so I'd expect it to run high 12s at the track with 60s worse than 2.5. I've been in turbo buicks for 20 years but not that interested in going to the track. The quickest I've gone with other TRs with TE44s (largest turbos I've used) I've owned in the past was 12.3 @110 with sumitomo street tires. I also have a GN that I believe will run mid 11s, but I don't have the ambition (or DRs) to run it at the track.

They are out of 90s Buick Park Avenues. They are both Park Avenue passenger seats because they only came in 60/40 in Park Avenues.
