<VV> Are Turbo Vairs worth having?

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Mine is a great driver.  Carbs flood easily, but after driving mine a few 
years I don't make the mistake very often anymore.  I think boost comes on 
differently on different year cars.  Also, load has a large affect.  In 
fourth on the freeway with fairly low rpms boost comes on pretty strong on 
the hills.  My 62 boosts well in 1st, my 65 never did much until 3rd.
