Jim,

I don't remember us DISAGREEING on anything but "factory" figures on boost and monitoring it; how, why, and when, and if you'll remember, I eventually came around to ~your~ way of thinking on that subject after about ten thousand pages of posts.... so, I think that whatever "issues" we had dissipated when the dust settled.

I don't know if you knew it, or even cared, since it's not a Class car, but my street/strip/ "bracket" car is a daily-driver '72 Valiant 4-door sedan with a Vortech boosted 360 Magnum that is good for about an 11.80 @ 118 in the quarter, with 3.55 gears, which really isn't very fast, but adequate on the street, for a 70 year old geezer with an attitude... LOL!

Just telling you that because you seemed to think that ~I~ thought that "boost" was a dirty word.

Nope; it's "addicting"... need I say more????????
