It was nice meeting you in Bowling Green at the fest. The car looks and runs good. Let us know how it does with the track wheels and the 275s.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Monte LS, it was nice meeting you as well. I hope you get you hot rod going soon.

Buick LS, the car is pretty heavy right now. It's 3825 lbs with me in it. That's with a full tank of gas a the spare tire in the trunk.

It's 14lbs of boost and 18 degrees timing. It was a mixture of 110 octane and 93. The car feels strong to 6000+.

Just a quick update. I've been driving the car quite a bit here lately. I drove it on an 8 hour round trip over the weekend to visit my parents. When I got back, I looked in the Feb 2011 GM High Tech Performance and saw a pic of my hot rod. It was in the LS Fest section.

I've got some good news and bad news to report. The good news is that the car put down 580hp to the tire on pump gas just two weeks ago. The bad news is that some thugs stole the car out of our parking lot at work yesterday. If you are around the Memphis area, please keep your eyes open for the car, or for any LS Turbo Regal parts. I figure that it is completely stripped by now. Here is a pick of the car at Holly Springs dragstrip a couple of weeks ago.

Wow. That absolutely sucks. Start a new thread with the headline "Stolen Car Alert" or such. That way more people are looking. Put it on TurboBuick.com and V8Buick.com too. More eyes to look.......

Bastards...Someone broke in my car and stole my Dvd/tv Headunt and a backpack with a couple shirts in it about a month ago. Yesterday I saw the idiot wearing one my tshirts he tried to button up his jacket before I saw him. Now i'm just trying to figure out what to do and when.

That sucks I hope someone finds them and. I put up a post in the southern section for everyone to be on the lookout. https://ls1tech.com/forums/southern-...l#post15375478 Was it taken during the day or night? Any businesses with cameras near by that might have caught them coming up on the car?

Thanks again for the help Dan. I did get the guys up here at work to look at the cameras. You couldn't see the car in the camera. I should have parked it in a different spot. You could see a clean black 96-98 Chevy truck drive in our parking lot. It left a few minutes later right behind my car. We didn't get a tag number.
Thanks.
Kevin
