Oh I know - my car went low 1.6 60's with an open rearend and drag radials.

Its crazy huh. My old regal had a dyno prooven 900hp 406sbc dart block. i had a differant axle but i was inpressed with the factory setup.

I made them myself. 2 1/2" tube .065 wall. Cut down the middle. Weld some t bolt clamps on. And some rubber vibration isolators for between the tube and fuel pump.

This is a update from a couple days ago. I cut the spare tire storage out and in going to weld a piece of flat 18 gauge steel in. so i have a safe place to mount the fuel pumps.

And alittle more.

3/8 npt tape used on the 5/8 heater hose side worked great. Still have to find a 1/2 npt tap for the 3/4 heater hose side.

Re: 87 Buick Regal Single 76mm turbo 5.3l/4l80E budget build

Thanks guys. I nailed down the problem with the injectors and the idle issue. im learning this tuning with a laptop.

So i had to set the injector pulse width to 44.8 for it to start and idle. And i knew that was a issue. well i had the injectors flow tested and they are not even close to 80#. they where at 51.5
So i contacted smartfire and they desided to refund my money. And john at F.I.C. is hooking me up with some seimans deka 80#.

As for the high idle issue. I found the the iac is bad. Or need cal.
So now out with the motor and trans, do some cleanup and slide it all back in for the final time. yeahh.

Glad to hear. Do you have a SD tune loaded up? I just dropped the 5.3/4l60e on the 1960 Impala frame today! GM "hot rod" pan won't work since it hits the crossmember, ordered LS1 oil pan setup and LS3 Corvette manifolds to tuck in between the frame rails

Yes sd is set but the os is not paid for. Its 4 credit to load it to your pcm. 2 credit if you licesnced your pcm. is it still possible for me to use that wide band for a minute.
