<VV> Yet more turbo hand-wringing

[John Sconiers]

Norm,

Did your off line replies say anything about using a HEI setup.  I'm 
going the same route with 95HP heads but intended on using an HEI along 
with the Safeguard and no Dale adv / retard.  My understanding was the 
Dale Retard / Advance did the same thing as the Safeguard.  Is it best 
to use all three or is this over kill?  Anyone got a good set of 95 
heads for sale or trade?

JOHN
