Thanks Steve for posting. Very Interesting read,
particularly because my family had a Buick Special station wagon when I was a kid, and I remember to this day how he used to brag about that aluminum block V-8. The car served my family well, damn, too bad we didn't have a turbo...my modding may have started WAAYYYY early.

funny how what is old is new again>>>>
"In order to avoid detonation, a 50:50 mix of distilled water and methyl alcohol (aka methanol) had to be injected between the carburetor and turbo at times of high engine load."
