1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build

hutt1 · 07-13-2015, 05:01 PM

WE have changed directions with the computer and have installed a HOLLEY HP EFI system, A 5 gallon fuel cell and a Holley EFI fuel pump. Thanks to Mr Benoit with all your help on this project.. We are going this week to get a basic tune and then maybe to the track this weekend if things work out.. `The short block is wasted with my lack of tuning ability.. But i have a new one ready to assemble but i want to get a basic set up first and then install the new short block and turbo so I don't tear it up .. I'm supposed to take the car to the tuner wed night and Ill keep you guys informed..
Thanks

Scott

After looking at everything we had to finish our new short block due to the stock pistons.so we are gonna be down a few more weeks then we are going to test for next year.. Ill keep everyone informed on the progress..

Progress... Well we installed another engine and had Derek Johnson with Modern Speed, help on the new Holley Fuel injection Tune. We have not been to the track yet but I know it pulls a lot better than it ever has. Maybe we can make some test hits this weekend and see what she will do.. Thanks to Marvin Benoit ,Angela Neely ,Holley EFI, Quick Fuel, Wayne Hutton , Derek Johnson for all your help so far.. Scott and Nick

Nick Hutton and I took the Project stocker to the track today and made our first passes in a year thanks to Marvin Benoit Holley efi Wayne Hutton Derek Johnson. Our first pass in O/SA was 12.80 at 105 around 35 under the index with a ton left considering the shifter let the car go from 1st to 3rd . I only had 1 job today and that was to bring the laptop to tune the car and I picked up the wrong one! So we will try to get on the chassis dyno at Modern Speed in BG before our next time out and then make some passes.. I will keep you guys updated now we are back to working on he car again..

Making progress we installed new torque converter over the weekend and it looks promising.2800-3000 and 8 psi holding the brakes in the shop.. It builds boost now holding the bvrakes. Gonna go testing Saturday I hope at BG and we will see what this helps. Now taking the factory booster and master cylinder then installing a manual master cylinder..

Well we are making progress very slowly.. We ran a 12.79 at only 101 its 35 and change under in O/SA and the engine is not happy.. The converter picked up 60' 2 tenths but only picked up the 1/8th mile 2 tenths again tune up.. We were on a pretty good pass and it blew the hose off from turbo to tb. It still went 13.45 at 103.89 coasting about 400 feet. I am not getting many pro stock Holley efi tuning job offers currently.. I don't understand it lol It's about time to start thinking about pulling the stock 100,000 mile short block and finish the new short block.
