    I run one of those also. Lots of fun to make up stories about what it is at car shows. :laugh: For me it is all about have 20 psi on the gauge before I start the motor.

    Glad to hear others are using them! In my opinion, they're the cheapest insurance you can buy to help a BB Buick live!

    Yesterday we took the Somerset to Virginia Motorsports Park to get my license passes done. Car ran great with a best pass of 9.20 @ 145. Thanks to Bubba Crouch and his son for running to Richmond to pick me up a new fuel pump. Also thanks to Matt Wirt and Ron Schaecher for all their help in getting the car down the track. There is a lot left in the car but that is for the next test session. I also need to get my torque converter re-stalled for sure. We were losing 12% from the hit and 7% at the stripe.

    Alan congats on the license:TU: Sounds like you are ready for BG...
    We just got our new converter also as the other had a great deal of loss at the finish also.
    Hope to see you soon

    Glad we could help. The hit was really soft. I thought it might be more than 12%.
    You did a good job & car went straight & true. Car has more in it. Not bad for 1st time out & a mild motor.
