    statesman pacies. washers under mounts?

    yeah the mounts are pretty new. i did them the same time.. it only needs a few mm so jackin the headers and rebolt might do it. but i dont see packijg the mounts up a little more causing anyharm. i also thought about rasing the trans mound a few mm aswell.

    dyno results alot less this time round..

    yeah its hard to say. its feels quickr when you give it a bit of throttle but less when your cruising... that's expected with the stall.. it now starts in a split second by just turning the key, pretty good for a hot cam. but it also feels a lot more choppy, like its missing or something, or...

    Superpro Camber Correction Kit Installation.

    I never understood why everyone has trouble with getting the old bushes out. get a 10mm or thereabouts drillbit and drill all around the bush then gat a small hacksaw trim alittle and hammer it out. after the arms are dropped I can get all four bushes out in under 20 minutes easy

    auto trans slippery and not going past 2nd

    okay.. I was under the impression the vt-vy 4l60e internals were made tougher, ill tell you what I was told..

    auto trans slippery and not going past 2nd

    yeah I considered learning when my old cars box went, but I thought the professionals will give me a warranty and they've done it many time before. I can get one for 1500 but im looking at transdoctor, they said I can get a strengthened one with gen3 internals for 2k. so probably gunna do that...

    high ratio roller rockers or cam?

    for an old buick.. neither really. best way to go is get an 8 on a stand and tinker. do both cam and rockers, maybe even as far as flattops ect. and when your ready do the swap. otherwise if your a p plater and want a little extra go just change to higher diffgears, best bang for your buck...

    what are the biggest wheels to fit on a vr

    I had 20s on the old vr wags. they scrubbed the front struts. u could put smaller tyres on them to fix that or get coilovers. but honestly the ride is absolutely terrible. on a vr if u want big rims just go 19s to avoid it a little but id get new shocks so ur ride isn't completely crap
