Was never a threat in eliminations because she had to wait an hour for the turbo to spool up.
this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^- at every Buick club race I attended over 25 years of GS ownership and drag racing, NO NA 455 guy ever worried about facing any of the turbos in eliminations. The lag/spool thing, no matter how fast they were, made them a lame cripple at the line. I am certain modern electronics would help, hard to say how much.
