I've got the stupid issue,as if you didn't post enough copy and pastes of it yet. One TT Buick motor and Banks thinks he invented the turbo charger. Its all BS unless somebody from Buick can back up the claim. Gale Banks is a blowhard. All he did is use some of his off the shelf universal, one size fits all boat motor crap on that motor. Like I said in another thread on another board, 500HP and it only does 13's? Come on give me a break! C.J.Baker did a series of build ups on a carb-turbo so I'd like to think he knew what he was doing, plus he was a NHRA/IHRA stock eliminator champion. He knew how to drive that car and it only did 13's? Something doesn't jive. Its been over 30 years since that first turbocharged Buick hit Indy and all of a sudden Gale Banks comes out of the woodwork to claim he helped. BS!BS! Plain and simple BS! If he was such a genius why didn't he specialize in turbo Buicks too? Just like Ken Dutweiler. Its kind of funny how he mysteriously(Banks that is) faded out of the scene when SFI came along. I guess he just wasn't the boy wonder when it came to electronic engine controls. The only simuliarities I see are the two turbos. The 83 TT Pace Car is 100% Buick.
Sorry for the thread hi-jack Scott(?)
Dont lecture me on Buick history. I've been around these cars long enough to remember a lot of events firsthand. While you were probally still packing mud in your Pampers I was opening up my mailbox and reading that issue of HOTROD.
