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

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?
