    Mike was always one of the most knowledgeable and valuable contributors to Buick performance

    Excellent! Should be killer port velocity numbers. Looking forward to the build.

    Mike kept the performance Buick spirit alive by not only entering but competing very well in the engine masters challenge year after year. if I was TA, I would’ve given him any parts he needed and welcomed his ideas to improve, and develop performance. he always found out what worked and what didn’t spending hours on the Dyno.
