    Thanks. On that video I have a partly clogged needle and seat in the carb so she was loading up thats why on the video I floored it on the middle bulb then let off and re-floored it as the other bulb was going on. I was hoping to clean it out so there would be no bog. It worked.

    Here is an outside view on a different run same day. I would not say they are the baddest of a sounding Buick, but I would think its up there with them. Oh and like always I red lit...it was final round in the Buick vs. Ford Day at Atco, NJ., which is coming up this year on November 23.

    Looking at putting a +.030" 455 with Track Eliminator Stg 2 heads, KB Cool runner intake w/dominator. Looks close to yours, how streetable is your combo? Any hints on what to do or stay away from?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well as long as we are showcasing in car videos, listen to Doug Heckers car.

    Larry I like that run with Bruno, its a 2 for 1 video as you get to watch Dougs GS in the next lane.:TU: Gotta get some fresh ones at Atco next month.

    Since Rick posted his specifics as to what he's doing when his car sounds that mean, I thought I would too! I transbrake my car to 5600, I shift it at 6800 and it crosses the line at 7300. It's a GREAT ride and it really is the thing I enjoy most in the world. :TU:

    One of my favorite videos, love the way it loads up for the green light
