 |  Help with build up I have an 87 we-4 with 21,xxx miles. The motor has approx 750 miles on it built to stock specs. I was going to buy another TR to build up for a fast street car, but what the heck I'm going to use my we-4 instead. I have sold my mustang and have 5,000 to use to build up the we-4. I'm looking to you guys for help and information on this. I figure with your help and experience in build ups I could get it right the first time around. The following are the mods done to the car now: TA-49 turbo 009 inj. xp fuel pump hot wire kit 3"thdp w/cut out eaton posi unit stock gears adjustable fuel pressure reg. adjustable wastegate rod Any help would be great.. ------------------ If it's not fast enough turn up the boost!!! 87 WE-4 super clean 21,xxx miles ta-49,009's,thdp 3" and other mods http://www.we-4.com William Bohn ICQ#16425594

So you want a mid-high 11 Car? I would ditch the 009s and go for MSD50s and a TE44. Mid to High 11s should be pretty easy with some tuning and good 60fts. Should run 113-115mph I would think? ------------------ Mike Schoenfeld  See My 11.25@121 Run! | |

| I guess the most important question is how fast do you want to go? Also, what does it run in it's current form? ------------------ Email Address: mailto:mike@TurboBuicks.commike@TurboBuicks.com</A>

| You may want to ask around. I suppose a 49 can go mid 10's, but that would be running it hard. I have no experience there, but that doesn't sound right to me. Has anyone gone mid 10's with a TA-49? (This outta be good). It's also going to depend on how much your car weighs with you in it. I have noticed when calling some vendors, everything is skewed because a lot of them assume we all drive around with no A/C and slicks all the time. Not to mention a full tank of 116...  My point is, do the math on the HP vs. weight of your car, and look at how much HP the turbo can make... Precision is rating a TA-49 at 545HP, so even with a car weighing in under 3500# with driver, it doesn't add up. ------------------ Email Address: mailto:mike@TurboBuicks.commike@TurboBuicks.com</A>
