Default Re: Slicks

I had a website with photos and details but when I relocated and changed ISP's the website disappeared. The swap was easy except for the wiring harness, which I ended up doing myself using both service manuals. The only things I haven't got to work yet are the stock Impala tachometer and speedometer. I used the Buick 2004r, the stock Impala trans crossmember, a lengthened Buick driveshaft, Buick motor mounts. I have a TE61 turbo, PTE intercooler, 50 lb injectors, shift kit, 3000 stall non lockup converter, 3.73 gears. My best ET of 12.53 was with 22 psi max turbo boost and about 5 psi boost at launch. If I launch at 10 psi and set the max boost at 25-27 I should be closer to 12.00. Between now and next summer I plan on installing line lock and may get some cnc ported and polished heads and an aftermarket cam which should put me in the mid 11's.
