Update: I have replaced the factory ECM with a FAST DFI system. This allows easy engine management using your laptop and the provided software.

The car is pretty straight except for some small dents and a little amount of rust. The passenger fender is no good and I have one that is ready to use. (I will show some photos with notes where these flaws are located.)

The engine is out of a 1987 Buick Grand National. I have tried to keep most everything I could from the GN so it would be easy to get parts and diagnose problems. The motor has been rebuilt and I will go into detail on that on this site. The transmission is a manual valve body turbo 400 that is also fresh. The rear end is a Ford 8-3/4 with a factory ford posi with extras. (More detail). Fuel system uses (2) Aeromotive A1000 pumps that flow 600 lbs. per hour.

Current Performance on pump gas with stock computer - no runs with FAST system yet.:

Best ET at 14lbs boost (stock GN) - 11.31 @ 118.03 mph

Best 60 foot - 1.41 using foot brake - no trans brake.

Car will go a alot faster if you want to turn up the boost. I leave it low to just run ET's and play around on the street.

Weight - 3090 lbs with me in it - I am about 190 lbs.
