    Holley terminator x autometer invision

    No idea about the canbus stuff but I think the simplest thing to do would be to run a second oil pressure and temp sensor so both the Holley and Invision to be happy. If the Invision used 5v signal based sensors you could tee of the output and feed it to both the Holley and the Invision but it...

    HRPT 2023

    For what it's worth, this is where the last 10 years of power tour have been: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1yDe9JU2NWAUtktqofmeyL1DCEfu-e8dQ&usp=sharing Personally I'd like to see more midwest in it again like some of the past years but it is what it is. Next year for sure I...

    HRPT 2023

    I hate how the last few years have been so far south. 2018, 2019, 2022, and now 2023 have all been deep in the south and have been crazy hot trips (2019 was actually cold and rainy though). I don't understand why they've been picking the hottest most humid part of the country near the peak of...

    How well could a g-body actually handle? What's the limit?

    The rear sway bar is a Hellwig adjustable pro-touring bar on the loosest setting right now. When I was looking at rear bars some of the g-body handling guides were even saying not to run one in the rear but I'd have to dig again to find that info. I can tighten it up but I'm already getting some...

    How well could a g-body actually handle? What's the limit?

    Thanks, will definitely do that for sure then, would you go with 0.5" taller or 1" taller on a stock control arm lowered car?

    How well could a g-body actually handle? What's the limit?

    I'm using KYB GR-2 shocks right now. Figured it would be a budget performance option back when I installed them about 15,000 miles ago. It's not really a bounce, maybe a better way to describe it is a lot of front to rear chassis roll in bumps compared to a lot of other modern cars I've driven...

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    *blows the smoke off* Been a while since I've posted an update! Been a little crazy busy over here the last few months Check out my post on the 2022 Power Tour thread to see how that went though if you're interested! https://gbodyforum.com/threads/2022-hot-rod-power-tour.84516/#post-898790...

    2022 Hot Rod Power Tour

    Woops forgot to include this! Clearly the car was working really well aside from those issues I had haha! That Holley rev limiter sounds friggin amazing too!

    2022 Hot Rod Power Tour

    Realized that I hadn't updated you all on how it went. I long hauled with my brother and a friend of ours this year. Took the Grand Prix again so we had 3 cars that were all pretty wild forced induction 3800's. Yes the Montana has a supercharged 3800 in it haha! Gotta love the hotel parking...

    How well could a g-body actually handle? What's the limit?

    Really appreciate the honest feedback here. I'm definitely at a cross roads myself here. The car has all the power I could want right now but the handling and the way it drives just hasn't left me very happy since I've had the car. The car almost feels a bit like a see-saw when it goes over...

    How well could a g-body actually handle? What's the limit?

    Obviously these cars are not the best handling cars on the market especially when you compare it to a modern platform where cars use magnetic ride control or some of the other wizardry they have going on. If you were to go all out on suspension on a g-body could it compare with a modern car like...

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    For the longest time I thought the Terminator only worked on LS engines too or other V8s until I started looking at the software. It really is just a cheaper version of the HP EFI though and it was pretty easy to set up for the most part! Basically just tell it that it's a 231 cubic inch 6...

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    So with only a few weeks left before power tour I decided "why not swap out the engine and rewire the whole car!!" So that's what I've been working on for the last 3 weeks XD picked up a bunch of retro 3800 parts from a friend of a friend who got out of the 3800 world a long time ago. I'm...

    2022 Hot Rod Power Tour

    So we are two weeks away from Power Tour for this year. We had a pretty good amount of representation last year from the forum and it was awesome to meet the folks I saw last year! For those who aren't aware of what power tour is: It's basically a buffet of car related things you can wrapped up...

    Goodguys Nashville

    I dropped by for a day, saw your car but didn't get a chance to say hi. I didn't bring my car though, been crazy busy lately I live very close by so I try to go to the local cars and coffee on the first saturday of the month when I can. I spotted that Grand Prix there at the cars and coffee and...

    0 voltage inside the car

    Wonder if your interior ground straps aren't connected or the frame isn't grounded to the battery? There's a ground wire on my car by the driver side floorboards for the body that you might need to connect to the engine or frame

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    I figured they skipped Illinois and some of the other northern states because they might've been worried about more covid restrictions making a comeback this year. I heard this wasn't the only year they didn't start where they ended but definitely still pretty odd for them to break that...

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    Thanks for the link, looks like the main difference from what you did is that you used an S10 pedal instead of a 3rd gen f-body pedal. Looks like that could have been a pretty good route to go down then, wish I had seen options like this back in 2016 when I did this. Have you had any issues with...

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    no, I don't think the guy I'm referring to is on any forums anymore. This would be an H-body Bonneville from the late 80's though

    Turbo 3800 T56 Grand Prix

    Yup! That was us! We actually tried to find you a few times since we saw your car and I believe you even ran it on the drag strip too. The Buick Lesabre is twin charged so it has a turbo in front of the supercharger too. He was able to put down 497 whp down at the dyno on Power Tour and broke...
