I know I said I was going to leave this alone but;

Buicks have 2 bolt mains.
So do ecotecs. Ecotecs have retainers in the mains. they don't count.

The rest of it... meh.

Hmmmmmmm. Ever given yourself a slap across the back of your head? Might be time to try it. Gotta reset that stubborn wrong function going on in there mate

Ecotec/L67 are 4 bolt mains, end of story (apart from the rear cap). They're cross bolted as has been said, but 4 bolt mains none the less.

How do they "not count"? The cross bolts are there to help hold the caps in place, they're not there for good looks....

Lols - I'm usually the first to rip **** out of the 6 banger brigade but this is the exception. I've seen many many V6's that are about 1/2 of this setup - ie lots of $$$ spent but little result. Great work - good luck to the original poster.

Kudos to you Reap....Credit where credit is due.

we went 11.0 and he went 11.3

He drove straight up on his trailer after the pass and strapped it down...

He was gone with in 15mins. lol

We tried to enter last year and were told LS-X only, no V6s.. lol

Here's a quick vid, sorry about the sun glare, lots of shinning alloy...

Its clear enough for the first few secs to see it.

Ill get a better vid up soon.

Seem's to be all A ok! Boost response is good, brings up the 4psi gate pressure around 3500 rpm.

Hasn't had a foot full as yet, little bugs to iron out first.
