    It's a 98 firebird with the V-6. The car is stock, except for tuning, injectors and the pipes. It uses a turbonetics unit with a 62-1 comp. and a stage 5 turbine (T-3). It does have rear suspension mods, and stock trans converter and 308 rear. The kit was put on the car at 115k, and currently has 130k on it with the valve covers never having been off. I run a lot of boost, from 18-26psi. The car never has been on the dyno, but it should do about 450 to the wheels. It goes mid 11's with soft 60's to save the rear for a while, at 120 mph. Here are a couple of pics and vids. There are a ton more at my site, www.fquick.com/1SICK6. Thanks for looking!

    Nice ride, you have to love the descendant motors of the Buick V6. What fuel are you running? Those are something like 10:1 stock

    They are actually 9.1, maybe 9.5, I forget. But with the stock crap pistons and iron heads I use 5 gallons of sunoco blue with the rest 93, just to be safe. I also have methanol injection that I run. The engine is picky as hell, still, with timing. Look at it this way, I run 15 to 20* at 20psi without it pulling spark, but N/A it would only run 16*. I really don't know how the thing is alive still :stupid:
