i can smoke a number of cars pretty much stock lol i bet you can **** one of them new stangs up i would love to see the face of the stangs owner

I wish I could but the car currently sits in need of a new trans..It blew first pass down the track and still managed a slow 12.58 in the 1/4..

a slow 12.58 lol you sound crasy man lol

i would feel like too much of a bad *ss in a car like that for real id prolly kill myself in it what is it normally a 10 second car

at them speeds its hard to keep a trans huh

Honestly dont know what it truely should run trans went on first pass. It should be a high 11 second car. Takes alot to get 10's. I already am pushing the Advanced Auto Parts remanufactured junk well beyond what its probably capable of handleing. So far its put up with alot of 24psi blast but with all turbobuicks its like riding around with a hand gernade with the pin removed just a matter of time before it explodes.

ok i got a new one and i tested the car out first i went around just to warm the engine up some then from the end of my block(its very long like 1/8 mile or longer) i give it full throttle and i swear the car earked into second gear for like 3 seconds lol never did that before but it still made alotta tick tick tick noises like when somethings hot i noticed the turbo pipes always get super hot too and make those noises even just from regular driving is that normal too?

i also gave it gas(it lowered like you said it would) and i topped it off but i think it just shot back into the resevoir

It is normal for the pipes going to turbo to get hot seeing how the turbo is exhaust driven and they are exhaust pipes. Your turbo setup doesnt have a intercooler your turbo is on the back of motor and feeds directly into intake. The ticking sound is the pipes expanding and contracting as they cool off mostlikely. If it pushed back into resovoir it mostlikely purged whatever air was in system. Does car still over heat jow hot is it getting.

i dont have a gauge that tells me the temp but i can hear the ticking coming more from the block when after im at wot then stop to take a look

and thanks so much for all this help

I would install real temp guage you might be all worked up for nothing. It is possible all your hearing is the headers bolted to block cooling off that usually when they tick.

x2...the warning lites only come on after the fact, gauges warn you of a problem before it's too late
