New member, roadmaster estate wagon lq9/4l80e Hi all, thought I would introduce myself and my newest ride. I'd been around the car for a while and new the PO so when it came up for sale I ended up jumping on it.
The car is a 1992 Buick Roadmaster in wagon form. The engine/trans combo is a stock lq9/4l80e combo except for an ebay intake. Tuned by JP for the 150 shot and made 440/590 on a dynocom. 3.45 auburn locker rear end, and 17" KMC wheels. Its also lowered on springs.
Its been to the track once in my possession, and has run a best of 14.3@100 with a 2.2 60'. Long term goal is low 11's and a turbo setup, although my ideas are always changing.
My previous car before this was a 1991 Volvo 240, stock engine with a camshaft and a 56mm turbo and supporting setup with a tremec t5 and 4/10 locker. It made 300/340 thru an auto on a dynojet but would absolutely blow this wagon away even with the pill.. that's gonna have to change. I sold the Volvo (still have our 1985 245 with a turbo setup, but I've had 9 other 'vo's so who cares) and picked up a 1991 s10 to build and bought this Buick to daily. Once the s10 is done and able to be driven daily this wagon will go under the knife.
Until I'm ready to build this behemoth I'm only planning on a mild cam and upgrading the converter, but I want those mods to work well with future plans for boost as well so I don't do it twice.
Looking forward to learning a few things here and meeting some cool folks!
