    Well everyone, I bought the deposit for the turbos.
    Another couple of payments, and a Quick Fuel Carb, I should be good to go.
    I'm hoping for Mid June sometime to have them on and tested.. maybe..

    Its been a while..
    So..turbos are at where they were in April.. Deposit only.
    weather is still hot (110 + everyday for last 2 weeks it seems)
    I got some new metering rods (new to me) from Ken G over at Everyday Performance. I also kicked up the initial timing to about 12* right now.

    I have bought some 15x7 rallys that should be here in the next few weeks.
    I took it to the track and ran twice.
    First run was 16.5
    Second run was 16.3 @86.5 MPH (first time at track)
    DA was at 4900 and corrected to 15.4

    Next track day is Sept 17th.
    I hope to have 3.42's and POSI in it for that race. I'd like to have the rally wheels wrapped up by then, but I don't think it will happen.
    with the initial timing set as it is, I spin my one power wheel allll dayyy long.

    POSI will help big time, and with the gears.. i think it will be a fun car.

    Turbos are still in plans, but I think I was a little to ambitious with my timeline.

    That's the update!

    I like it. Granted, if it were a two door. I would not complain.
    But for the condition it is in, it could be anything door, long as its buick

    Put in the gears and a POSI, in a 8.5 inch housing.

    I love this car, its much funner now.

    RE-Curve kit today hopefully.

    got rally wheels in the mail yesterday, will be doing some work to them and hope they shine up.

    things are really moving now!
