Just wanted to share the last trip out with the car. Took advantage of the Jason Miller prep at the Haltech Hail Mary Derby.
Ended up going 8.47 @ 158 mph

Does anyone know the proper way to open/separate a 1gb headlight? I need to separate the clear lens from the housing. I’ve read to stick it in the oven. I’ve read a heat gun. Just looking for someone’s experience that did this without ruining the headlight. Also what to use to put it...
My sinister 8" is still working flawlessly after years of abuse. It is a bit more difficult to stage the car competitively without nitrous as I experienced this year at the IFO events. But I just like the fact of not depending on something else. Be curious though to see what the Jeff bush and...
Update for this header
My setup changed from the 3076 to a Fp3586HTA Manifold stayed for this setup. Larger turbo spooled up very quickly and manifold never chocked out any top end power. This Buschur manifold/FP3586 combo went 8.93@146 this year without any nitrous in the auto setup.
Launch the car @ 4000 2g converter is tough because of soo many options out there. Sinister, Precision, Bradco Tough call on the 2g's. If you had a 1g I would say Sinister all the way because I have direct experience with it. Contact Mike @ sinister and see what he has for your...
Issues with the vacuum pump that it was actually pushing air back into the system. Switched it out with another and it worked fine and held the car still.

You shouldn't have any issues in the Top Street class Charlie. Should get you some better races! I went out there one time with my car and won it with my lil guy turbo (3076HTA) You should mop them up with ease with a 35r. That event though just isn't for me. Keep up the good work!!
I would just get the IPT rebuild kit, shift kit (I had a random tranny shop install rebuild kit, I installed valve body kit), do the kiggly mod or forced four shift box.Converter is tricky depending on what your setup consists of. Turbo size? nitrous/no nitrous? etc.Good Luck
The guys at Early Performance are doing another dyno day. Their first one was a great turn out (despite it snowing) with a lot of people which sadly left guys not able to get on the dyno.This dyno day will be May 18th from 11 till last person wants on the dyno. Food and drinks...
Looking for a Open or Enclosed trailerIF it is enclosed I don't need it to be any longer the 20' Can be a "fixer upper" as long as it isn't rusting away.Please let me know what you have. Need one before May 20th for the Sport Company Event Buschur has in OH.Thanks Guys!Deric

Boost response does seem faster. preliminary test last night had the car come up on the converter quicker than it did with the old setup. This shows a increase in torque without any tuning changes. Dave you have done it again! Thanks for the great piece. More data to follow once it gets on...

I think you are going to be surprised how fast the 1g auto is going to go! 8.8 in a race prepped auto with all Buschur parts is going to be be easier than ya think i bet! 9 cars on the list is also a testament! Just insane how fast some of the older cars were going for their time and...
I think the car will rock with either the 3065 or 3082 mod. Are you going to go with the FP based 3586? Or the t3 turbine housing? If going to a t3 housing the other thing to consider there is going to be new down pipe/ o2 housing and new manifold.
Run a fluidybe radiator in the car. It may be a hair thicker than factory. There's more than enough room to hook up the intercooler piping so I am good! Great piece Dave. Need to finish some other projects that are going on with the car right now and then get it on the rollers. Thanks Dave!
Got a chance to install the header finally. Perfect fit. Tight to the Radiator but still enough room. Had to lengthen my water lines and oil dump a tad bit since it pushed it out towards the rad a tiny bit. Other than that the hardest part of this entire process was getting the old setup off.
Had a few things Ceramic coated at Moore Performance in Pittsburgh. They did a awesome job. Fair price. Manifold and FP turbo housing look great after a summer of running the car. If you're looking to get some stuff done locally try them out...
No problem man, It's a great piece.Dropping times are what Buschur parts do!I have a new found respect for anyone that wraps headers. This was a test of patience! The wrap took a beating while installing it so its a bit frayed. Lil disappointing after all that work.
Just recieved my 1g Buschur header. First hands on inspection this is a quality piece. I'm happy with the purchase. Top notch quality from material to welds to flow design. No sharp bends. Smooth weld transitions. Flange port work is smooth. Collector is nicely done as well. I like the...
Track is closed for the year. Looks like 9.7 is the best the car will see this year. Big Thanks to Forced Performance, Early Performance, Buschur Racing, Curt Brown, and everyone else that helped along the way. Till next year
No, It rained saturday and I haven't done anything to the car other than change the oil and drive it. I have to head to SEMA for work so I won't have a chance to get back to the track till the earliest of Nov 11th. We'll see what the weather is like then.Thanks for posting the video Chuck!
