1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Sedan LS Turbo Build

[GroceryGetter83]

Went with the trick chassis LCA and UCA brackes I take it?

I put them in this winter but havn't tested them out yet.

Trick Chassis LCA, yes sir. Didn't pull the trigger on the uppers. Time will tell if I need them.

Drivers side brace burned in:


Shiny shiny:


Slowly but surely:

Continuing the safety additions:



Stroud safety net and mount kit

Been wicked hot out, so progress is slow going:

Starting to look like a real car again:

Really happy how it turned out:



Ready to drive and race:

First track outing with the cage was a success, but no PB.

Hit up Orlando Speed World:


Weighed at track:


Pretty empty due to the rain scare:


Boost controller was not adding dome pressure as requested, but still did well for 19 psi (first pass shifted 1st to 3rd 🤣):

Had a great time at LS Fest East! Great to see some fellow Gbodies out there.

Stopped at Bucee's for the first time:


Cage is 8.50 certified now:


In the lanes (out of place much??):


Car hooked up every time, pulled both wheels every time as well:


Was still having issues adding dome (still running around 20 psi boost, DA was 1600-2500 all weekend). We took apart the driver's side WG and it did not seem happy (time for new ones):


Holley did a write up about me and the car:


Great pit crew (Dad, Brother, buddy Josh):


Photo-op with some cool dudes (Nate aka Dr. Tuneemall, dyno tuned my car):


I dialed in a 9.75 index while there. I won the first race heads up, but lost the second round due to breaking out!

Time to take the car apart again and make it faster!!!

Small update: taking a little break from all the car stuff since I thrashed so hard to get ready for LS Fest.

The VSR 78/75 did a great job, but its time to upgrade:


Forced Inductions 88/102 T6 turbo

The turbo weighs nearly 50 lbs so I'll mount with this Maven Mount:


After some planning and test fittings, she's in there:








Redoing the entire hotside with stainless steel and new waste gates to boot. Can't wait to rip this thing
