[DeTomaso] What says the 'Collective' about a 'Slugger'

[Ed Mendez]

What did he do with the rotary? You can get 800 hp out of a rotary with the turbo and it weighs half of an LS. :-)

If he still had the 13b I'll take it off his hands. :-)

   Have been having trouble with my air in my LS powered RX-7.   I have
   been through 3 different mechanics and compressors in the last 2 years.

   A good friend and retired mechanic mentioned the other day I might want
   to
   look into a 'Slugger' in conjunction with my next compressor and dryer
   install.  A 'Slugger' is a small electronic device to vary the ground
   and
   applied voltage to a compressor on initial start of the compressor.  He
   claims that the oil will build up and drain back into a low mounted a/c
   compressor after it sits idle for a while.  The same location as a GM
   LS
   install and also a Pantera.
   Was wondering if anyone had used one of these devices and if it has
   been
   successful or not?
   Have had consistent problems with the air in the 'P' cars but hasn't
   been
   attributable to the compressor.
   They are only about 35 bucks on e-play, so I am thinking about trying
   to
   save the valves in the new compressor.
   Just wondering?
