SHORTBLOCK: The block is 30 over, TRW forged pistons, Speed Pro rings, stock connecting rods - (resized, shot peened & polished, installed using ARP rod bolts), block was align honed, crankshaft was cut 10 thou on the mains, and is still standard on the rods, H-series rod and main bearings used, as well as Durabond high performance cam bearings, rotating assembly was balanced, ARP main studs were used to hold it all together. Camshaft is stock (bought a brand new one from GM) using the correct GM lifters, upgraded heavy duty cam button, Speed Pro stock replacement timing chain with the steel gears, front cover is the stock one, oil pump is the stock one rebuilt...I added a magnetic oil drain plug from ATR a few weeks back.
HEADS: Heads are BONE STOCK low milers (40000 miles) that were given to me by a buddy when he bought the Champion Iron heads. I did however install Comp Cams 980-12 valve springs. I USED the stock cups, but DID NOT use the internal dampers that came with the Comp Cams 980 springs.. TURBO: Stock turbocharger fully ported and polished by me. As well I added a larger billet inlet bell from a TA 49 and opened up the inlet of the compressor housing on the stocker to match the larger inlet bell. Wastegate hole is opened up to .900". I ported the daylights out of the stock cast elbow and installed a larger 1.300" poppet valve.
Wastegate is the factory style adjustable actuator, with an extra helper
spring that hooks from the swing arm to the wastegate bracket. I
added this to compensate for overtightening the actuator rod to
achieve high boost.(20 + PSI). INTERCOOLER: Stock intercooler which has the Duttweiler 2.5" neck installed. I built a custom intercooler scoop using the top half of the factory scoop and a custom bottom half that I built out of fiberglass. DOWNPIPE/EXHAUST: Modern Musclecar two piece 3" downpipe that hooks up to the stock (highly ported) elbow, Hooker 2.5" dual exhaust kit (nice to have tailpipes again). I ditched the Hooker muffs and used Straightline Performance mufflers which are a straight through design. FUEL SYSTEM: Modern
Musclecar OPS (Walbro 307) intank fuel pump, BGC adjustable fuel pressure
regulator W/ Auto Meter guage, Casper Electronics fuel pump hot
wire kit, stock 28 lb/hr fuel injectors. INTAKE / THROTTLE BODY: Stock
lower intake port matched to the heads by me. Stock modified upper plenum made for me by Steve Monroe from the TurboBuick.com bulletin board (Thanks Steve!) as well as a 1/2" plenum spacer. Throttle body is the stock unit,
bellmouthed, some minor port work by me, and throttle blade is knife edged to help airflow. SUSPENSION & BRAKES: Front sway
bar removed, stock coil springs, stock replacement shocks, No
Hop traction bar system that relocates the upper control arms
(brand unknown - these were on the car when I bought it). Front brakes are stock, rear brakes have the S-10 wheel cylinders and long brake shoes. I added these to aid in powerbraking the car into higher boost levels while trying to stage my car. REAR END: Stock GM
8.5" with posi trac and factory 3.42 gears. TRANSMISSION: BRF 200 4R rebuilt with all the heavy duty internal parts... 10 vein pump, hardened shafts, better clutches etc. Torque convertor is a Transcrafters Red Stripe unit. Rated at 2800 - 3000 RPM stall speed at 6-8 PSI of boost.. Also have an Art
Carr transmission cooler mounted in front of car. ECM/CHIPS: Stock ECM with
Red Armstrong R93 street chip, Joe Lubrant 110 race chip. Race chip has 28* timing, injectors go static at 4000 RPM, and forced TCC at 75 MPH. MISCELLANEOUS: K&N
air filter, ATR stainless MAF pipe, driver and passenger side valve cover breathers - (K&N), Auto Meter 20-0-20 boost guage, BGC lightweight front
bumper brackets, engine tie down strap, Modern Musclecar in the
car boost control, Magnecor 10mm spark plug wires, Prime wheels
(wish I had the original ones...), 26x10 slicks at the track,
Modern Musclecar Scanmaster scantool for tuning, TPS sensor @
.40/4.62, 1 screen removed from the mass air sensor, coolant
lines to throttle body plugged, I no longer use the factory boost
solenoid. I think that about covers it. TRACK TIMES: Went to the track on September 22, 2001. I ran a new best ET of 12.19 @ 108 MPH w/ a 1.69 60'.. The previous best ET had been a 12.28 @ 106 MPH but with a better 1.62 60'. I ran the 12.19 pass, running 23 PSI boost, 53 PSI of fuel pressure (hose off), C 16 fuel, MT 26x10" slicks @ 12 PSI, Joe Lubrant 28* race chip with TCC locked, and uncapped exhaust.
