So are you switching to a L36 block?

Is your L67 broken? I'd stay L67 untill it blew up.

Dont forget you'll need modded fuel rails and upgraded injectors, preferably not 42.5's. And a trans soon after.

**98buicksupercharged** · 10-25-2012

the l67 has alot of miles on it.
for got the fuel rails and injestors lol.
and yes trans will be tripple edge performance

**98buicksupercharged** · 10-25-2012

and im using the l36 for more compression

**dsmuts** · 10-25-2012

Lighter car will help you break into the 12's easier lol just playing sleeper buick ftw.

why is that?

**matt5112** · 10-25-2012

weaker rods.

weaker pistons.

ya know, durability concerns.

Will it ever become a problem? who knows.

Change the title of your thread.

**98buicksupercharged** · 10-25-2012

to?

**matt5112** · 10-25-2012

Project high 12s

**98buicksupercharged** · 10-25-2012

alright.

what will the benifits of putting in 3.29 gears in the trans rather then keeping the 2.93?

**matt5112** · 10-25-2012

Faster though first and second, then it'll suck in third.

Also makes traction in first more difficult.

With 2.93's highway pulls are better.

**98buicksupercharged** · 10-25-2012

so there really isnt a benifit at the track since its hard to get traction?

**MoarkatsINmuhtrailer** · 10-25-2012

you got slicks...youre good

**98buicksupercharged** · 10-25-2012

good deal

I've seen one. A guy on clubgp has a turbo'd park ave, it runs 12's all day. Cool build though, but I have to agree with others. If you can, try and stick with an L67/L32 block, you'll thank us all later. There have been way to many people who have gone to an L26/L36 block and have popped pistons from not dialing in the tune properly and due to the weaker internals, they've broke pretty quick.
