When we originally installed the turbo's we ran a 1/4" oil line back 15 feet or so on this huge Electra. It seemed to work pretty well, of course there were no loads on the P-72 Turbonetics ball bearing turbo-superchargers.

Bob Ream at Imagine injection installed the new oiling system and now we have a pretty severe leak. I'm in Amarillo, TX now, after 1,670 miles, and will be in Phoenix this afternoon. In the mean time I'll talk to Jack Cotton to see what he has to say.

He will probably recommend a bigger return line but may want us to check the actual line pressure to the turbo, which should be about 25-30psi. Bob and I will sort it out with Cotton while I'm on the road.

We are just a few days from the Silver State Classic Challenge, with serious manpower deficit. My crew is back at school and my driver has a heart problem; that's what happens when you recruit from both ends of the age spectrum!

We have a new driver who has Indy and other experience, I'll interview him and he will check out the car when we arrive in Vegas on Wed.

God Speed!

The Turbo-Superchargers and FAST Engine Management System works really well. You never felt a 430 that was so powerful. Dave Machuga, Machuga Racing Chassis, drove it yesterday and said "Holy F&*^*N S*&$!!!" He could not stop talking about it. You are on motor till you punch it then it sounds and feels like your in a jet going down a runway!!!

The twin turbo ceramic 430 STAGE I works great! Lots of Dyno-work made sure the motor was acting as it should. I guess I could have bought a couple of Z-06s and a motor home with all I have in this project. I now own the world's most powerful Electra and probably one of the most powerful custom cars in the world with its original engine and transmission!.

So, finally after 30 years of dreaming about it, I finally built the twin turbo Buick Electra of my dreams!

Well, we still have to see if she will go really fast! Silver State Classic Challenge did not work out for us. I spent tons of money getting there and getting prepped, but we were speed-limited due to their rules.

Oh well, we are looking for an old military base strip 7,000 to 10,000 feet, on the east coast where we can do some tests. We really need a 3 mile stretch but we will see what we can do in a mile!

Stay tuned! Faithful Pursuit II is finally here:
