Kinda off subject, but your car is pretty well built, what does your brother have in his?

I hope that Buick is a turbo Grand National.
Get some gears and some better flowing headers, like LT's.

Driving like that, all you have to do is give it some time...he'll likely get the car impounded or wrecked.

That Buick is a beast. But seriously, tell your brother to get a different exhaust.

Generally you dont need a girdle on a turbo buick unless you are over 550.... he must have a strong car!
