Its a 86 Buick grand national motor with basic bolt on stuff and a little bit larger turbo than stock.

Damn man, you build a car and don't even know what motor is in it. Its an 87 geesh.

 

Thanks for all the compliments, and Joe it was nice to meet ya

Thats the converter, its a fairly loose converter. Its tough to keep it from downshifting so the pulls are short and odd looking because they start so high. We rev it to 5700, we just didnt on that pull.

We just got the converter lock-up working so we'll get better numbers after tomorrow, but we'll be able to see what it does on the track tomorrow so that wont matter much. The car pulls very strong until 5700-5800 on the street, its still got a few small issues (like it doesnt have an exhaust) but we'll fix all that after norwalk. Not bad considering it was thrown together in 2 evenings/nights this last week.
