Well after running and building nova’s for the last 7-8 years I have changed directions. Sold my grey nova to my brother. So here is my new build I have a 2008 aluminum 5.3 with rings gapped ls9 gaskets , 799 heads Jarrett 216/222 cam building a devided 2. 1/4 hot side , 400 th with brake , ptc 15-0 9.5 converter and 3.42 gear built axle . Will be on e85 . Car is a nice solid 63k mile car and has been raced in the Chicago area years past . Anyone ever run a Weldon 2025 one came in the car thanks in advance
thanks. i have had a bunch of these thru the years this is my 7th turbo regal. wanting to get the car making good power and hit a few street car races and drive it when the weather is nice. i havent owned one in 15 years so its all new again.
yes it has a frame notch so it will hold about an inch wider tire. im going to put billet specialties on it 10" with a 275 pro. so i should have no rubbing issues.
yes . it was a pretty quick v6 car from the chicago area. dont know why the v6 was removed. started getting some work done on it . working on wiring now mounting and wiring my ms3 gold box.
Haha. Not sure but I think it is pretty light has fiberglass bumpers and brackets . I think I’m going to run the Weldon pump as a second pump and turn it on at low boost. Not sure yet . Weldon says run it if I’m only running an hour or so at a time
Got the long block back together. Stock bottom end rings gapped at .026 top .030 second. Ls9 gaskets and GM Performance parts bolts’ jfr. 216/222 cam and btr valve train . Going to run a tbss intake and my Bosch 210 injectors . Ready to go in but I’m waiting on a converter swap . Going to try a ptc 9.5. 17-0 converter.

Almost my exact combo. Converters gonna be close. I went from a 15-0 to a 17-0 and it was WAY better. Shift recovery at about 5500 on 20psi with a 3.31 gear
