hello people; HIJACK. One more thing on the subject and I'll shut up. Grumpy, your probably running a 160 stat but what kind of temps do you see in Mass. in traffic and in the summer. I also suppose you use an additive in your rad.?
BTW I work in bendover at the missle factory. When I get my Buick running right we'll have to get togeather.

OK. so now we know about Melissa's car. Was this car tuned just by changing the settings in the TT chip and Alky control based on diagnostics from a Powerlogger? Can enough fine tuning be done just by changing the timing and air/fuel in 1/2 gear and 3/4 gear? If so, I guess the powerlogger has to be my next acquisition.
