Does the tester not physically hook up or are the inner nuts and bolts different so the tester speaks a different language?

Yeah, no kidding.  Nothing like spending tonnes of money on stuff you don't need, to try to impress a bunch of people you don't know.  :chin:

Either this guy has really deep pockets, or one serious line of credit.

It's other peoples pockets. He took a brand new engine knowing ran it lean, blew it up and then stayed in it. Then sued the engine builder (that built him a race engine) for fraud and got $30K.

Now he's got other guys on the ropes trying to figure out how to make a street legal racecar idiot proof.


This guy takes checkbook hotrodding to the next level.
Just Burns your Hide don't it...lol...Ain't nobody on the ropes if i got what i paid for. Me having to go over an Fix other peoples payed work don't cut-it in my World. (you only know what i've typed, You know nothing about me or my GN)  I don't work for free Either....
Expensive

This Car i bought in 90' after a chick totaled my 86' GN. You want Speed out these Cars with reliability it cost, Used parts cost you more in the long run if try that route.Every thing on my car has a purpose an function.  My car's now totally restored less the Frame an under carriage, Which is last on my priorities since it's a Driver.The car is also totally equipped to handle what i prefur to throw at it, Less the 109 motor.  Many Many Mech. have ripped me off, That's the only Serious cost expenditure i've encountered. ($50,000 in all over the last 12 years from muiltipul differant shops)

You could save yourself being taken advantage of, a load of heart ache, and ultimately become responsible for your own car and the work done to it, by learning to build and fix it yourself.

As someone who actively races his Buick in auto-x you are miles away from handling like any supercar in your GN.  But, call me when you achieve that lofty goal.

Not in this car,keeping it as original Buick as possible with the pieces,109,200r4,Int./Ext.,Had to do the 9" rear,nothing else would hold-up.
 I had 400SB .060 over half block poured,bolt-on aftermarket heads,with a 635/310 roller in all steel less the hood 73 Camaro running 10.80 street tires/full exhuast/stock suspenion before i brought this GN back out of storage in 2000. I'm after MPG an Speed now.
I'm tempted to do  25-1 regal,time will tell,my plates to full at the moment.

You are right. Some jobs simply are too much for just one person; that is when I call up a friend.  But, money can't buy those... can they, Champ?
 
All the parts in the World can't make up for a lack of skill.  I look forward to the law suit/rant against your chosen tire company when you over drive your car into a pole or ditch; or if we are really fortunate off a cliff.
