Could have spent that 2500$ on a 6.0 swap with a 4l80! lol
I could never find the heart to do that on any Turbo Regal/GN.

figured i would post some new wheel pics. had to do it even though it dinged my budget. this car was just not sticky enough with regular street tires. next stop is torque converter. this stocker is not cutting it.

.96 a/r and it feels like every bit of 500 at the tires.i am using a 9lb spring in my tial 38wg and it holds it pretty steady..but, i have yet to dyno or track it. the minute i do you guys will be the first to know. it feels super strong. like a really thick torque curve and boost comes in faster than my ball bearing turbo in my gn although the compression ratio is way different i could not be happier with this. i just wish i had picked a cleaner roller. theres just something "corvette summer" about yanking a car out of the junkyard and making it work.

You have a adjustable FP reg, is it hook to stock rails? If so tell me how you did it.

yeah stock truck rails. i went from tank,filter,aluminum tube to fire wall, -6 braided to rail. then i gutted the stock regulator and welded the nipple shut. then -6 to regulator then -6 back to tank. transitions to the stock rail were a mix of compression fittings and AN fittings. i was a little aprehensive of the compressions and -6 feed but so far i havent had any problems with that. just a flickering ses in the rain yesterday when i stabbed the brakes and hit bumps.

robby if you ran a regulator after the stock regulator in the rail what was the need to gut the stock one wouldn't the second one override the stock one. im asking this because im in the proses of running my fuel system.
