This Week’s Sale Items: CNC Ported small block Mopar heads
Friday, May 28th, 2010Update on E85 powered 455 Buick with Ported Edelbrock heads
Monday, May 24th, 2010We managed to get Brian’s 72 Buick GS to Norwalk for the Annual Buick Raceday and get some passes on it. On the dyno, it made 703 HP, full results here. We had a great first outing running three passes in the 10.60’s right out of the box. The engine has been dyno’d, but we hadn’t made any passes in the car, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We had some charging issues which plays hell with the MSD ignition boxes, and a big hesitation on launch, so overall we were very pleased with our first outing. I’m sure with some attention to detail, and getting issues straightened out, the car will run even better.
Overall, the Norwalk Buick Raceday is a great event, and it was nice to be able to put faces with all of the names of the Buick guys I have spoken to over the years. Roberta, Bill and crew do a great job putting this event on. If you have an opportunity, you should check it out. More info here: Buick Raceday: Facebook Page

Gary Giessen’s 65 Skylark Convertible
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
When you own your car as long as Gary has had this ’65, you have a long time to get it to perform the way you want it too. 23 years of hard work and dedication have made this car into a car that looks great and runs hard. On motor, the car has gone a best of 10.29 @ 131, and a 9.53 @ 143 with a 200HP Nitrous hit.The Engine consists of a .038 over 455 Buick, running a BME Nitrous piston with Total Seal file fit rings, with 12.5 to 1 Compression. Stock length aluminum rods swing on a stock 455 Crank that is cross-drilled. A TA Performance HAlo Girdle helps keep the bottom end where its supposed to be, with ARP Studs clamping both the main caps and the heads in place. Speaking of heads, they are TA Track Eliminators that use the big 2.260/1.750 valve package with matching TA 1.7 ratio Roller Rockers. The cam is a custom flat tappet piece from Scott Brown at Competition Components. Specs are in the 260 at .050 range and .636 lift with the big 1.7 rockers. Atop the TA Intake is a single 1050 Dominator, with a Nitrous Express Gemini Twin single stage plate snuck between them. An MSD Billet distributor lights it all off, and a set of Lemon’s custom 2 1/8- 2 1/4 step headers direct the burnt mixture into the Dynomax bullet mufflers that try to keep things quiet. A Petersen external oil pump and a Meziere water pump, push their resective fluids through the engine.
The Trans and Converter are from Mike’s transmission, including the Ultimate TH400, as well as the 9inch converter. The rear end houses a spool and 3.70 gears, while 35 spline axles get the power to the tires. Gary has spent a lot of effort on the suspensi
on on the car, and it has definitely paid off. The front end consists of TRZ Control arms, Moroso trick front springs, and HAL shocks to keep the Bogart Superfly lights heading the right direction. The rear sports Wolf Racecraft lower control arms, and HR Parts and Stuff uppers, as well as their anti roll bar. These work hard together to keep the 29.5X10.5 slicks planted, and Wilwood disc brakes all 4 corners make sure the 3550lb car stops on the big end. As I said before, all of this hard work has paid off, with 60′ times in the 1.48 range on motor, and a 1.38 (lifting) on the juice.
